Holy cow. Stay warm and safe guys.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Not ever an hour away got 6" we got nothing but cold cold rain:td:(

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Sitting in a hotel on the West side of MI. They have a few inches here, nothing that we aren't already used to. I dunno what they got in Detroit, probably just a dusting.

As for the snow...bring it on. I now have a 3 car garage where my summer ride is comfortably resting for the winter and a new snowblower that needs to be tested out. :D

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

You're a wise man, Brother. ;)

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Shhh, I was hoping to hide it under the snow for a while.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Hah! I have been saying the same thing for a couple of weeks now. Bring on the snow. That puppy needs some action!

The wife says it's 8.5", while I stay nice & warm inside!

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Just looking at these photos make me pucker up. Good luck to you guys!

I've got a sis-in-law who was supposed to fly out of LaGuardia tomorrow. That ain't happening.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

It may not be as much as some of you guys had, but this is the first time that we've seen snow in december since 1981. We usually get some late january or early/mid february. This is promising to be a long cold winter

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Just a dusting here in this part of MA... :confused:

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

you call any of that a storm? wussys :)

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Hey uh Gerard,how can she say that if you are "nice and warm inside"? :confused:

:r

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

It's still bloody snowing here. Somewhere around 16 inches is my guess.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Stay safe folks... and thanks for sharing the pics. I know I don't want any of that action, but I do like seeing the pics.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Dave, if he was outside where it was cold, it wouldn't be 8.5".

"There was shrinkage!!":r

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

We ended up with a hair over 20". Are street is usually the last to be plowed but all the main roads are passable.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

:D

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

I was thinking the same thing, Dave. Just didn't want to embarrass Gerard. ;)

Oh and BTW, I have spring bulbs busting through the pine straw.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

I have been thinking about generators like that one, obviously for hurricane power loss NOT snow. Had it long Ron? I believe that could power the whole house.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

We nearly got more snow in this storm than we did all of last year. :banger I can't remember when we had over a foot of snow fall in one storm.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Wussys :D :P :P :D

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

only got about 5-6 inches of snow here...barely anything stayed on the trees but the gf did make some cookies :D

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Going on two years soon. It's a 17KW model - and yes it will run a whole house. Can you turn on everything in the house? No. But it will run a 3ton AC unit in addition to most normal items in a house being on.

It runs on natural gas and comes with the jets to use propane if needed.

Be glad to answer any questions about it. I went with the Kohler model over the other popular and less expensive models sold widely due to how quiet this thing is. With the lid shut and running you can't hear it from inside the house. It sits right outside my office and if I have the window open and nothing else on like the TV or music - then I can hear it - barely.


Ron

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Pete,
That is the way to go. Natural gas or propane, not gasoline as many are in Florida.
I priced them out down here a few years ago and could do my house with one that would cost me $5K back then. Not sure at all what prices are now but would imagine they have dropped post the surge due to the 2004/2005 storms.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Thanks soooooo much for sharing the pics guys!! :tu

Only wish I was there to experience it with you in person!!

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

I call BS!!!! :r

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

you're welcome to come over Scott. I have a guestroom.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Despite living in South Florida I will have some pictures to post very soon. Why? Because I was in New York City. Our flight was cancelled Saturday evening obviously, but we got out Sunday afternoon. Another night in a suite at the Waldorf, what a shame :D We had fun playing in the fresh snow in Central Park Sunday morning with the locals.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Seth, did you man "locos" or locals?:D

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Still looks cold to me!

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Last night:

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

We were in Norfolk for my wife's graduation during the storm - nothing but wind and rain there, thankfully. Still, I'm glad to be back home in AZ today. We moved here to get away from that chit, and being there was just too close for comfort.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

That's what I'm talkin' about right there!! :tu

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

I made the fire a little too big. I had to move away from it for a bit. Nothing like sweating when it's freezing out.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Ready for round #2?

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Round #3 for us, and it's already started today...

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

It's been snowing for about 2 hours here in Bethesda but it's just now starting to stick a little. It just feels like it's going to snow a ton. Everybody stay safe and enjoy 3-4 cigars!!

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Is it crazy that I want to sit outside and have a cigar? I think I'd freeze though.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Blizzard Herf 3 is in the works guys :D

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

I was lucky to make it home the last time I was there back on December 5th. Northbound 270 was completely closed at 3 separate locations as I drove on southbound. Southbound did have several icy spots, but no crashes that I saw during my trip.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Ron has new tires :D

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Hmmm...

Wife and I have a lot of cleaning to do to have people over on Sunday evening. I'm game though if I can make time and Ron doesn't mind making the drive that will probably end up being two hours.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

About to go work on the snow blower now before we get any snow.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

I think this is funny. Virginia, MD, and such places have had more snow (even Texas and Oklahoma) than we have up here in Northwoods of Wisconsin.

Someone should explain this all to the inventor of the internet and global warming.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

More snow, going to enjoy a nice cigar tomorrow in the snow with my boys. I hope fellow east coasters are staying warm and safe.

Is that from last night Dave?

Wow! Aren't you glad for Global Warming as otherwise this could have been really, really bad for you.:r

Re: *Storm of 2009 Pictures*
 

Now That Is Snow!!!!! Wow, Dave, GL With That, Brother!:tu
