Super User Swamp Girl Posted January 20 Super User Posted January 20 This was taken from my front door about two minutes ago (Maine). Not a lot, but pretty: 2 Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted January 20 Super User Posted January 20 Got about 6” of snow before the temps plunged to zero degrees. Supposed to get up to double digits for the high today at least. 2 1 Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted January 20 Super User Posted January 20 Between 8-10. Just got a bit of an ice storm last night. 2 1 Quote
Super User Swamp Girl Posted January 20 Author Super User Posted January 20 @Rockhopper: You have a cool truck though. And @TOXIC has a wicked cool deck. And this latest snow isn't @Jar11591's first, as I can infer from his windshield wipers. 2 Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted January 20 Super User Posted January 20 @Swamp Girl no ma’am! Not for this born and raised yank. Quote

Saved that one out of a field just this last June actually. Had been parked for over 20 years. It is far from perfect, but I have been driving it A LOT, and it is a ton of fun. I literally cannot get a tank of gas without someone wanting to talk to me about it. And it is just an old, unrestored farm truck! Lol. This one is my baby, though. 😉 4 1 Quote

Super User gim Posted January 20 Super User Posted January 20 Very little snow here. It's been cold, but we're about 15 inches behind on historical average of snowfall for this date. Quote
wdp Posted January 20 Posted January 20 No snow now, but this was from the approx. 8” we got in the Memphis area on Jan 10th. Took a full 7 days for all this to melt, and that’s even after a couple days where high got in the 50s. 3 Quote
Super User DitchPanda Posted January 21 Super User Posted January 21 This winter has been about as dry as I can remember... We've had basically no snow. Last year by this time we had pretty much already hit our full winter average. Brutal cold right now...wind chill was -37 earlier. Quote

Not wind chill. Wind chill is about what you have, -37. There’s relief coming by Wed tho. 1 Quote

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 21 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 21 It might get down to 28 tonight. It's supposed to be 41 and sunny tomorrow. 1 3 Quote
padlin Posted January 21 Posted January 21 If I saw right they are predicting up to 10” down New Orleans way, looks like a stay home day or 2. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 21 Super User Posted January 21 We had less than 18" so it isn't pic worthy. But, we're going below 0 tomorrow, so there's that. 1 Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted January 21 Super User Posted January 21 We got quite a laugh out of the 1.5 inches of snow received here is Greenville, SC. Of course our perspective is from being natives of Minnesota for decades. Our housing complex here in Greenville sent a notice out that - kids should not play outside because snow may slide off the roof and hurt them. That dogs should not go outside because road salt might irritate their paws, and that we should open the cabinet doors in bathrooms and kitchens so that warm air can get to the pipes and keep them from freezing. Grocery store shelves were wiped out for almost a week before this “Snowmegeddon” hit, and people had their generators out and tested them to make sure all was in working order. Lastly, they called school and work off all day on Friday due to the inch of snow. It was 45 degrees the next day on Saturday and all was melted by noon. However, many schools and some businesses were still closed the following Monday. Haha, but the warnings of 90 degree days in Minnesota are just about as silly. Somehow we survived both climates all these years! 3 Quote

The wall cloud was black and terrifying. That was the only time in my life I've seen such a thing. My gas gauge was reading empty, but I didn't stop until Syracuse because they were shutting the freeway down behind me and those drivers caught on it were trapped by the blizzard. 45 minutes ago, FryDog62 said: Our housing complex here in Greenville sent a notice out that - kids should not play outside because snow may slide off the roof and hurt them. Ha. That's goofy, huh? Oh well, they meant well. Quote

I was driving from Buffalo to Rochester when that storm hit. The wall cloud was black and terrifying. That was the only time in my life I've seen such a thing. I've always lived right on the lake, so we don't usually see the snow that we see on the route 90 corridor which is a half hour south. The one I recall was getting around four feet in early November in 2019. There was another one around '94 that literally shut everything down for over a week. Then we have the ice storm of '91 and one I remember being very little around '75 in April. All the rest are the usual waking up to another foot of snow on the car and nothing is closed and you go about your day. I don't even shovel unless my 78 yo MIL is coming over, lol. Quote

Super User TOXIC Posted January 21 Super User Posted January 21 In February of 2010 Virginia got back to back snowstorms deemed snowmageddon both dropping double digit snow amounts on the 95 corridor. 200,000 without power, roads impassable. I was commuting between my house in Florida and my house in Virginia. I left Florida heading to Virginia in my 3/4 ton SilveradoHD, 4wd truck and about halfway home, my wife called me and suggested I turn around. I did not. Everything was fine until I got on the 295 loop to go around Richmond, Virginia and I started seeing cars in the ditch. When I merged back on 95 north of Richmond it was like a war zone. Plows trying to clear the snow and ice from the first part of the storms made ice boulders on the interstate and reduced traffic to a crawl or you would literally destroy your vehicle. My truck was doing well but taking a beating so I dropped it in 4wd and made my way to the shoulder which was just deep snow. I watched multiple cars behind me try to follow and one by one they got sucked into the ditch. Due to my trucks higher suspension I was able to get through. When I got to my exit I had another 30 miles to go so I stopped and topped off my fuel and headed up route 17 which had not even been plowed once. I was pushing snow with the front bumper of my truck the entire way. I finally made it to the beginning of my culdesac which descended into a deep valley before going up the other side where my house is. I literally floored my truck because the valley was almost flat level and I knew it was deep drifted snow. My truck literally disappeared under the snow bank and I blew out the other side. I didn’t let off the gas until I slid into my driveway. That’s my snowmageddon story. 1 Quote
