poppy Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 This is a masive and dangerous snowstorm that will have blizzard conditions. As a comparison, could you imagine London getting 36" of snow and winds up to 75 miles per hour. That is what may happen in Boston. http://weather.aol.com/2013/02/08/nyc-new-england-brace-for-massive-blizzard/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk1%26pLid%3D267856 Keep us posted Muggles. A state of emergency has been declared where Sofia is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I hope everyone's OK in the US. How did your GD go in Australia, Muggles? I hope she had a good time and was treated well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Sofia was saying earlier it was pretty scary. Just hoping she doesn't lose power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) I hope everyone's OK in the US. How did your GD go in Australia, Muggles? I hope she had a good time and was treated well. She really enjoyed Sydney except she said it was very expensive. Most of her money went for food. She stayed in Chinatown and went to classes at "The Science Center" in the "Rocks". she liked the people and got to see a lot in her short time there. Poppy - losing power is one of the fears. Connecticutt is getting more snow, I think, than predicted. Last I heard was the Central part of that State had 24".

Peacefield Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Sofia and any other members here in the northeast US, good luck to you with that dumping of snow! I've really gotten cranky in my old age and Mother Nature is on the top of my you-know-what list. We're supposed to get hit with some stuff overnight and it's supposed to last all day tomorrow but it won't be anything compared to what's going on out east. All good vibes will be heading your way I had a really nice dinner out tonight with my oldest and dearest friends to celebrate my birthday. We all take each other out and tonight was my turn. We grew up together and I've known them all since I was 14, so we always have a fun time. I hope everyone has a nice rest of the weekend!

There was one town in Connecticutt that got 40 inches of snow. I talked with my aunt (she is in her mid 80's and lives alone) who lives in York, Maine and she couldn't get out her front door as the snow was drifted about 4 feet high. She did have access though at the back door and through the garage. She had someone plow her driveway but there was nowhere to go anyhow due to snow.

Athena Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We had a power cut, gladly power has just been restored! I'm glad it didn't take too long. We keep the house warm using wood but it needs electricity to pump the water through, so with a power cut there's no electricity but also no heating.

Raven Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 It's snowing here as well. My inner nine-year-old wants it to stick (which it isn't) but my inner forty-two-year-old doesn't want to slog home in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucybird Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks for your good wishes everyone. My driving test got canceled because of the snow, they've given me a new date but with work I might not be able to do it. Spent the weekend in London for my sister's birthday. Felt like I spent most of the time travelling though because we drove up on Saturday and I came back on the train yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Awww, that's awkward , I hope you'll be able to do it (and that you pass, of course!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofia Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 30 inches. That's what we got. It's unbelievable. And there's nowhere to put it. My street was finally passable a couple days later, but as of yesterday many weren't. I finally made it to work today, late. We didn't lose power; actually, the amount of people that did lose power was pretty low compared to Hurricane Sandy and the freak snow storm in October 2011. If any of you are interested there's pics on FB. Oh, there's more snow predicted for Wednesday evening, a few inches I think, and Saturday night. Joy. Is it Spring yet??

risingdawn Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 God snow! We've had it predicted where I live in the UK (south-west) and never received anything. We had hail at one point which got all the younger kids at my school excited as they clearly didn't look at the ground and see that it wasn't like a sheet but little balls. BECAUSE IT WAS HAIL! But yes, I wouldn't mind snow now. Back when we were forecast it I had my exams and was praying it wouldn't come, and it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talisman Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 We have had lovely warm (for this time of year) weather these past few days, so I am making the most of my day off. I am off to Lundy for 11 nights on Monday (driving down to Barnstaple on Sunday), so hope it lasts. I am just about to log on to Amazon to go book shopping so I have something to read - I have £30 worth of vouchers to make use of, so I should be able to get something with them.
