Yep, here too. They are calling for 12" by Friday morning. I had Friday of to go to camp for hunting season. Looks like I'll be plowing /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif.

How much you are you going to get? Should be a good shot of lake effect snow.

We have been getting rocked all night long. Lost power for a while. It is just starting to get light out and I can see quarter size flurries dropping heavily. They are not as of yet sticking. 50MPH winds are gonna make the drive to work in the Jeep fun! Only 6 more months to go /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

We are expecting the same stuff that Thomas is and that Rogue already has. Last night I went out and got 25 gallons of gas plus 5 gallons of diesel. Gas is for the generator, diesel for the BX2200. Have about 5 cords of wood stacked. They are predicting power outages due to the high winds. I think I am ready.

Interesting note. We are to get the 40MPH sustained winds plus gusts to 60. They are making a big deal over this in the media. Anymore the weather is considered news or entertainment. Today on the drive in the radio station was suggesting you tape up your windows. Huh?? for 60 mph gusts? Seems like overkill to me.

Had some pretty good (bad) winds last night. Toppled the windmill /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif that aerates the pond. Son of a .....
Did not go look to see the damge but I see an unexpected bill coming but another excuse to use the tractor.

We had really high wimds here last night. I leave for deer camp in the morning. It figures last weekend was the one week end I didnt bring the chainsaw home. You can bet theres several trees down in the road on the way in. Never a dull moment but at least I wont be moveing that wood by hand thanx to the tractor /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Dave

Strong winds last night and into this morning. A few lake-effect flurries accumulated in one roof valley but that was all I saw. Just made a note to myself to put driveway markers out this weekend, thanks for the reminder /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Now 48F blue sky w/warm gentle wind /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif..could it be the claim before the storm /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif..but if one takes a sneak peek at the weather map..its a coming fast. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
