Severe Weather thread.

Nice. I was hoping for one big snow before winters end, but no such luck here.

 

Grab your ankles, you have more coming.

 

Yeah they said it's going out to sea now that's when we usually get 2 feet.

 

My snow blower won't even throw the snow over my banks in the driveway now. So sick of this crap.

 

Ouch. Post up some pics of that.

 

Not far enough out to sea. Coming straight for us. Supposed to be about 18" of snow and they're predicting wind gusts of 60 to 90 mph.
I guess tomorrow will tell the tale.

 

My loader won't reach any higher! Did you get pounded by yesterdays storm or were you far enough inland? We got nothing but wind.

 

My loader had the same problem this winter. Fortunately we got nothing but wind yesterday, but MAN what a wind. It was shaking my house last night. I got home from work and all of the chickens were hunkered down behind my shed to stay out of the wind (why they didn't just go into the coop is beyond me, but...bird logic isn't logical)

 

Snow wasn't too bad, got about 4" but the drifting was crazy. I ended up blowing all my driveway snow onto the sidewalk so the city sidewalk blower can deal with it. Kind of a jerk move but they have a bigger machine than I.

 

I guess Newfoundland got hit hard I look at the weather and they were calling for 180 KPH winds and heavy snow. I like winter and snow but this one has been a killer used far more wood far more diesel in the tractor and dealt with far more ice than ever before still hoping for a few more rides on the sled though!

 

Looks like a nasty one.

 

Sure does. There was a tornado warning in Arkansas from it.

 

And people say I'm crazy for living in earthquake country

 

Ha! Atleast I can see what's coming at me. I'll pass on the earthquakes. Besides if we ever had a decent earthquake here, there would be nothing left. Most houses around here are older and brick. They'd be goners.

 

There are some pretty serious faults on the east coast and midwest.

The New Madrid fault is a real killer... as big of a hazard as anything out here.

And you deal with storms every year.
I've never had any damage from a quake, and I don't personally know anyone who has.
I've lived through every SoCal quake since 1963.

 

Here we don't get a lot of tornadoes thank god. Houses out that way can handle the quakes. Here it would be a huge loss in property. All things consideres Pittsburgh itself doesn't get hit too hard with anything. We get little tastes of everything.

 

I'll take dozens of major snow storms and cold any day! You all can have the rest.

 

Snapped this pic earlier. Pretty gnarly little storm cell, but here and gone within 15 mins :\

 

Cool pic! Never see that around here.
