About all you can say about the east coast snow fall is that "It won't
stick".

A month from now, maybe.

BTW, it was 83F outside my window today here in SoCal.

I'll take it.

All around me got 5" to 15". I bought a new snowblower this year so
it melted in my driveway on contact. Trees caught a lot of it. I was
able to do my neighbor's driveway though. At least I got to play with
my new toy a little.

I got 12" mine came in handy. Now I get to play with my chain saw.
Lots of downed limbs. Pretty much destroyed some nice trees.

Damn Bradford pears are beautiful in the spring, but so weak. Wind,
hail... all destroy them... This devastated them. Right down to the main
trunk...

Pin Oaks... split like dried stika spruce....

Going to sharpen the chain and wait for the snow to melt.
I was like a drenched rat out there yesterday trying to save them.
Broke my pruning pole trying to beat the snow off.

Damage was severe here too. Many biggish as well as smaller branches
came down. No really big trees, but altogethere the damage approaches
that with Irene. We were 24 hrs without power. Many around us are
still without. NJ07410, http//radburn.org

Approaches that with Irene, Han? That would surprise me with all of the

Damn. I'm sure glad I'm not living in the East. You guys enjoy
gigantic storms every year, don't you? If it's not hurricanes, it's
tornadoes, NorEasters, or plain old ice storms. Say, you're about
ripe for an earthquake, too, aren't you?

I was just talking about the tree damage. The flooding around here was
terrible, and was repeated at least twice within weeks. ANd with Irene we
were without power for almost 2 days. Now no flooding, no power for 24
hrs, but the tree damage was similar.

Hurricanes, somewhat. Generally it's more the flooding than the winds.
We're away from the shore here a bit. Tornadoes, not generally here, yes
to bad windstorms at times. THis storm was an early Nor'eastern, as such
not that bad at all, but with almost all trees still fully in leaf, the wet
snow loaded them up with too much weight, just like icestorms could/would.
After some years rather quiet, the last couple of years are trying to catch
up. Back in Holland in the 50's and 60's I remember bad storms, wind,
rain, ice (skating on the street is fun!), but power outages not much, at
most a few hours. Of course just about everything is underground over
there, so it has to be a large transmission line getting hit to stop the
power.

Well, we don't get the gorgeous weather that Californian's get. But we
don't get the real earthquakes, mud slides, or fires either. And it is
very green here for 6 months.

But it is humid, this year rainy, and the snow can be the heaviest
around. Overall, I like the east coast. It's just been a tough year.
Started repairing the damage that I had from Irene.

Just glad my tools are in good shape. And my wood is all raised. What
wasn't in racks was on a low sheet good rack. That rack is now raised
another 4 inches. I have multiple alarms around for water. I am having
second thoughts about storing vertically. My racks filled, so I started
storing vertically and found it much easier to navigate wood when I
needed it. That has all been put on new racks for the moment. Still like
the vertical storage for quick access. I'll figure this out. Thinking
about getting a large plastic tub so I can keep the wood in it
vertically protected if I ever flood again.

Ah, yes - I was in high school. We were playing a football game against
Seattle Prep in the new Bellingham Civic Stadium and led 14-13 when the
lights went out. Wish they hadn't come back on as we were going into
the wind and had 4th and 5 at the 50. The punt I snapped for was a huge
mistake as the kick ended up going the wrong way - we lost 19-14 :-(

Not only that, but I lost my ham radio tower and the Hood Canal floating
bridge sank!

No, they hadn't, so I'll have to ask. We've had a few floods, tho,
and Portland's 2008 ice storm was nasty. http://goo.gl/7y2fB

Wiki (complete with Jimmy's whine for money) came to the rescue with

NFW! You're about the same Lat as us, too, but I think you get a bit
more snow (we get an inch or three every few years.) Similar
rainfall, and we're warmer, though we don't grow banana shrubbery.

We might get dumped on maybe twice in any given winter, sometimes
three times...BUT!!! It is almost always a storm developed in the USA
and has lost its way to Cleveland.
The only nasty snap we might get from our own weather systems is the
famous Alberta (or Prairie) Clipper when it get gawdawfulfrikkin cold.

Where are you, Larry?

Grants Pass, Oregon "It's the Climate"
Our city is about half the size of Sarnia.

Damn. I'm sure glad I'm not living in the East. You guys enjoy
gigantic storms every year, don't you? If it's not hurricanes, it's
tornadoes, NorEasters, or plain old ice storms. Say, you're about
ripe for an earthquake, too, aren't you?

Condolences, guys. Hang in there!

And me and mine will suffer in the shade of banana trees(bushes).

Hey, I took a look at Sarnia on the map the other day and couldn't
believe it. It's farther north than Detroit! Brrrrrrr!

Practically the same latitude as Rome, Italy.

We might get dumped on maybe twice in any given winter, sometimes
three times...BUT!!! It is almost always a storm developed in the USA
and has lost its way to Cleveland.

and that is enough to make bananas run and hide, IYKWIMAITYD.

When I say clogged. I meant with down wires and trees.

I think that people who weren't out in it don't realize how bad it was.
A friend of mine asked me to check on one of his friends (he doesn't
drive anymore). I asked him for her address. He started to draw me a
map. I told him "I don't need a map, I need a street name and house
number--with that and a GPS I can get there, with your map I can get to
a downed power line or a tree across the road".

Later in the week I gave him a ride somewhere (and I had to argue with
him to get him to call and make sure that his destination was actually
open) and it wasn't until I had to take an unmarked detour because of a
tree still across the road that he got it through his head that this
wasn't just a couple of power lines down.

08867 Here... lots of damage. Schools in Flemington are closed tomorrow
because the roads are still clogged. Lucky I have power, if I didn't I
have generators... I won't loan them out again...

Some schools in our district are closed, others late opening. All because
of power problems, not flooding.
