Blizzard in Baltimore

[j_h_smith]

No, that's not a song I wrote, but a real deal blizzard. We've already gotten 6-7 inches (when they forecasted 1-3 inches by this time) and now the winds have picked up and the Weather Gods now have a Blizzard Warning in place for the area. I'd say the winds are sustained at about 25 mph and gusting to around 35. It's a heavy snow too, it's sticking to the side of everything. I've got a good sized front porch and the snow is building onto the porch. When I wake tomorrow, I probably won't be able to get out of my front door. I'm 48 and I've never seen anything like this. I'm sure there are folks on the forum that are saying, "That's just a little bit of snow", but when they forecast 20-30+ inches around these parts, it's a really big deal.

My only wish is that we don't lose our electric. I got the generator out this afternoon and could not get it to start. Just my luck, right?

Wish me luck!

Got to love all this snow. You guys are going to get more than we are. We got about 2 inches today and we are expecting another 2-5 inches tomorrow. Not a lot but we just got about 10-12 inches last weekend. I'm pretty sure this is the most snow the east coast has seen in a long time. I haven't seen snow like this since I was in elementary school.

Stay safe! Don't drive in this storm. They are put my husband up in a hotel last weekend for that storm. He was there from Friday night until Monday morning. They are putting them in a hotel again tonight. Gotta love this weather.

We are getting hit here in Jersey now too. I am not personally a big fan of snow to begin with and I really am not excited about the amount predicated

No driving for the Smtih family until the roads are clear. We've got all of the groceries we need, all the cars and trucks have a full tank of gas (in the event we need the cars to provide warmth in the event of a major power outage).

So at this point, it's a wait and see situation.

I don't know how you guys deal with that stuff.. I love snow, meaning I love to drive up to the mountains and see it and then drive back home..I don't think I could live in it all the time. I am from central cali, I'm not real big on the EXTREME weather. I was in baltimore the day after christmas and the weather wasn't that bad, we went on our cruise and came back the next week and it was 16 degrees. That probably doesn't sound that bad for you guys but believe me I thought I was going to die...lol. Good luck, hope the weather clears up for you

I have no words. My cable is out (no reception because of the snow covering the dish), it's WHITE outside, I can barely see the telephone poles.

Thank god, I had the foresight to stop at the library and liquor store! Now if only the heat doesn't go out.

We got 30 inches in my neighborhood in Anne Arundel County (South of BMore). Snowing again now, and we are getting 12-20 more inches they say.

Hope all of you stay safe, but I do have to say, I'm a bit jealous. I really hoped we'd get some this round. We're overdue for a really good snow.

Come over to Baltimore and you can have mine. I'll help you load it too.

How much snow have you gotten today? It's just started flurrying here but we are expected to get up to 18"
