it`s a literal blizzard(the wind is intermittent here..film of ocean city makes the wind look more like a hurricane..that looks nasty)....that said,so far so good...hate this f`ing wind but thinking maybe the buffeting winds are a good thing(seems to be blowing some of the snow off the roof of the shed...haven`t gone out far enough to see the roof of the house...the snow is overhanging the front edge of the roof)...no icicles yet..guess that comes when the freeze and thaw cycle begins(did a makeshift insulation of the attic ladder-door with a blanket,a heavy yard bag and some weather stripping...probably should get some insulating foam after this is over and do it right....don`t know why I didn`t do it years ago....
after a quick steo-out,it seems like it`s a pretty dry snow(all the forecasts were calling for a wet,heavy snow)....shit doesn`t seem to be clinging to the trees and wires like it did 6 years ago ..the arborvitaes and other bushes are still standing(as opposed to 2010 when everything was crushed under the weight of the snow...that was horrible..lots of stuff completely destroyed....several top rails on the split rail fence buckled during that storm)...
they`re saying 15 inches so far...still another 12-15 hours to go....was wondering if the cardinals made it to Carolina early for sunday`s game already?.......if not,they`re cutting it pretty close....that can`t be a good thing(even though I`m seeing it`ll be in the 40`s tomorrow down there)...
I have a guy with a snow blower scheduled to pop by tomorrow(I'm watching those m.f.`ing games unless we lose power,f-ck the snow).........IF we keep power,the roof stays intact and the weight of the snow doesn`t break us off from the continent and float us to Europe,i think we`ll be o.k.....:mj09:
