February 16, 201511 yr comment_672638 Thanks for the concern. Fortunately, my blizzard seems to be cleaning up after itself. Lollers. I think if you turn on your porch light, you can clean up the rest. Report
February 16, 201511 yr comment_672655 Tomorrow night - Periods of snow, heavy at times, in the evening will transition to a wintry mix overnight. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. 5 to 8 inches of snow and ice expected. It won't be above freezing until Saturday. Check out the forecast for the day Thursday - Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper teens and lows -4 to 0F. Very bitter week for NC. Report
February 16, 201511 yr comment_672663 Yeezh. That's North Carolina? I just want to make sure I'm reading that right. Report
February 16, 201511 yr comment_672768 Stay safe NE 'casers. As always, Seattle has the exact opposite weather. Report
February 17, 201511 yr comment_672923 DC is in shutdown mode which is a really PITA because we are supposed to meet with movers to get quotes and get more work done at our new house. Hopefully the guys can still finish up this week. Report

February 20, 201511 yr comment_673486 I got my packages yesterday, from both FedEx and UPS. Still, this: Report
February 20, 201511 yr comment_673487 I sometimes wish for a bit of snow in our winters here in Southern California, but when I look at what some of you have to go through, I just keep my wishes to myself. Oh and Dusty, that picture made me laugh, but then I remembered this: This is us right now Perhaps we can meet in the middle? Report
February 20, 201511 yr Author comment_673515 With ~40 degree weather and rain forecasted for Sunday morning, I need to get more snow off of my roof. Report
February 20, 201511 yr comment_673522 Dropped to the 20/30s this morning in South Florida. Heard this couple talking outside the breezeway as I was walking to class..."why don't all these scientists look at the fucking thermometers...global warming is just another way for them to control us and make us buy shit we don't need." Really hope the pair aren't in my college. Report
February 21, 201511 yr comment_673611 It's so cold out, that my apartment complex management asked us all to leave our faucets on 'drip' so that the pipes don't freeze and burst. Sad part is, it makes sense, because if they do have to fix the burst pipes, you know they're going to raise our rent, so we're going to pay for it either way. Report
February 21, 201511 yr comment_673671 Even a dusting can be a PITA. Just landed back in England and have been sitting on the taxiway for an hour now after a brief, apparently unexpected, flurry left every single departing aircraft at Gatwick with just enough visible snow on the wings to require deicing. We are number three in line for 777 stands as they do start to open up -- so I reckon it'll be a good while yet. Poop. Report
February 21, 201511 yr Author comment_673696 Cleared off as much snow off my roof as I can short of going up on it with a shovel. In the process, broke my already-repaired-with-duct-tape snow rake yet again, this time beyond repair. Report
February 21, 201511 yr comment_673705 Drove around trying to find some heat cable without success. Spent an hour or two outside to try and clear our stupid downspout and get a freeze proof tap to flow. Both were failures. We are scheduled to move on the 2nd/3rd I hope this cold snap has broken by then but the long term forecast is not looking good. Edit: Turns out that the pipe needed a few minutes for the heat to make it to the frozen part and I came back downstairs to hear it pouring water out (it is one of those 1/4 turn ones and I couldn't remember which way was off). Anyway that appears to now be working. Also the weather prediction 10 days out looks pretty good for the move. Edited February 21, 201511 yr by Dreadhead Report
