Are you Easterners ready for the big blow?

What kinds of coins? I collect early copper. US colonial and early federal.

 

Tonight's low: -14F, wind chill: -38F

Think I will stay inside, and start burning the furniture.

 

I found a penny from 1847 when I was a kid.I still have it.It's bigger than a quarter.

 

Our snow was not "wet" but it was very heavy and packed down like it had been walked on. Very dense.

 

I got about 10 inches. It was 35 degrees at one point and the snow mixed with rain. Our town got quite a bit of flooding from the storm surge. I expected to lose power last night but we never did. I was a happy guy! Now, let's get through the cold for the next couple of days and get some warm weather in here!

 

good idea

 

Awesome!! New furniture time of year !! Time to go shopping next week

 

Betsy & the ladies would love that G - but unfortunately, nothing will fit inside the small pellet Hopper.

* I've taken the liberty to hide all saws & other wood-cutting equipment, just in case.. The ladies are resourceful here.

 

Up on Mt Washington -38, -97 windchill.
Watched a Windows to the Wild episode Wed where they went up to the weather observatory by snowcat and spent the night. The living quarters are below ground but they could still hear the wind roaring. Episode repeats tonight at 11pm on Ch 11 (11.1 for over the air viewers) and tomorrow at 5:30 (11.2 NHPBS Explore) & 6 pm (11.1 ). Doesn't seem to be available to watch online.

Cool - got it setup to record now,

Heading into work tonight for overnight server maintenance.. Yay.

Thanks for the heads-up Sam, looking forward to watching it.

 

Same here, set to record........Thanks !

 

Went down to dad's today down by Boston. The ride down had the truck blowing around on 95. Whole time there, the wind was howlin'...seemed calmer on the ride back.

 

I may have to re-think going in tonight and stay close to home, current temps. here are -5F, feels like -15F ..

And dropping .. Eesh.

I can remote in for most of the checks & maintenance - physical reset of equipment can wait a day or two, after it warms up some.. Or I can just go in early tomorrow am and do it if needed. I think I just convinced myself. Time to get busy.

 

Well done CF ! Clear thought and working it out prevails good for you . And no I am not being a smart arse in any way actually congratulating you on thinking it through in a rational manner and making a wise decision. It's fricking getting cold out tonight .

 

Hope you had a great visit G - and Thanks for the ride info: been windy over here in SW NH also all day, windier than what wunderground has been saying. * Certainly feels that way, at least up on the mountain here.

 

Thanks much, not anticipating any issues, but you all know how it is - the chit usually hits the fan at the most extreme time: not taking any chances tonight.

 

Made it up to -4 today, current temp is -9 . Working the snoot out of the PS 50 for the
past two weeks!!!!, looking at +5 for Sunday.

 

I feel for you all,even though those temps and that snowfall is nothing,out here,BUT we have much lower humidity.I will tell you,years ago(1970's) I remember the potomac river freezing,so deep,we drove cars and trucks up and down it for several weeks,lol

 

If it makes you feel any warmer the Stowe-morrisville Vt airport hit - 24 on Thursday.
