Rick
They are claiming there is very little s*** in VA on another thread...can I post your photo from this morning there?

His snowmen crack me up.

Are you VA (or MD) folks getting a lot? We keep alternating between rain and s*** downtown, and so far, no accumulation.

Yes...look at Rick's picture. We have had probably about 8-10 inches and almost zero visibility at times, but since it is warm, only about 4-6 inches on the ground. Roads are pretty passable due to temps...mostly slush. The trains did not run this morning.

I think Rick is without power based on a FB post.

That sucks

yes says it won't be back on until about 8pm. Sounds like the rest of the family is in the same boat, all hugging to keep warm, lol. Mental picture on that one is making me laugh! Not funny though not to have power, but am sure the Rick has got it covered.

If any of you don't have a Calvin and Hobbes book to brighten a icey day...I feel sorry for you. :(

I had a good friend in college who would finish her finals early in the 2-week finals period. She would then take a Calvin and Hobbes into the library and read it to make the rest of us feel jealous 'cause we were still slogging away.

My son got me and my wife hooked on Calvin and Hobbes. I think we have two or three C&H books at home.

Somebody please say hi to Rick for me and that I hope he and his family are managing alright without power.

sent him a text.

Calvin is cool. But I like Bloom County.

Far Side for me. I have this coffee cup:

Another good one.

Rick says "my kingdom for a cord of wood"

Hahaha! Or a generator!

yep! I have a 5000 watt gen. I have the only heat on the block when the power goes out.

13000 watt generator. :) we bought it after the last hurricane knowing we'll make good use out of it at some point.

That needs to be a project for me. Lived in this house for 15 years and have never even opened the flu or struck a match near the wood burning fireplace in the living room. Need to have a good chimney sweep come check it out and maybe stack some wood on the patio before next winter, just in case.

My power has never been out more than a couple of hours. What we usually have to worry about knocking out power is January ice storms.

For us its the wind.
