Welcome to Erie, PA -- Snow Arrives

[Fuj]

We had a good Thanksgiving and thankful this held off for a day......
This started at about 3:00 am and has been steady. Five hour's later
and a good 6 to 8 inch's, at this point. I'll call the Son in a few hour's
and see how he is doing. He's 12 miles south of me and forecasters
say south of I-90 will get it harder then where I'm at on the lake shore.
They are normally full of sh!t, but it is what it is......I think I'll shred some
left over turkey and make some bbq sandwiches, then maybe a good
day to practice being a couch tater. I won't think about getting the
snowblower out until after the first plow trucks go thru, since once you
clear it and the front of the driveway, they pile it back in. I'd be surprised
if we don't get 2 feet or more from this event. Just another day......

Looks like a post card we see down here in Texas hanging on the fireplace

Sometimes, I do miss my snowblower and favorite shovel.

Won’t be making my pilgrimage to Urbaniaks this weekend lol. We were expecting to get a share of this storm but it stayed just a bit north of us.

I like about 4inches of snow on Christmas Day . . . . . . . . only !

Used to live outside Pittsburgh. Then fished Lake Erie often. Understand your plight.

Rode bicycle this morning. Thanksgiving it was 80 degrees. Why I moved south.

It was'nt that long ago Yinz had an event that was one for the books.
We were sunny and warm up here while the Texas grid crashed. The
world turned upside down at that point.

It's still coming down hard......

Nice to look at or visit, but not to live in.

Rifle season for Pa. white tail starts tomorrow. Always nice to
have a few inch's on the ground. The past few years however,
we have had no snow. This year for Erie county, You'll need
snow shoes and a snowmobile. Which reminds me.....Grandson
Zach is probably pestering pappy to get the Polaris fired up.
It's been parked the past 2 years because of no snow.

I remember that! Us northerners had a bit of a hard time being very sympathetic.
Shame on us.

From what I'm hearing I90 is closed to truck traffic.
All the trucks try to use Rt20.
Walnut Creek Hill on Rt20 west of Erie had jack knifed truck blocking it.
Right now I can finally see my neighbors house across the street...
For now.

Around here, snow generally stays where it belongs - in the mountains!!

My Mom lives in Ashtabula Ohio and I checked her ring doorbell this morning. Heard on the news could get 2 ft of snow

 

[Fuj]

Just got off the phone with my boy out in Waterford. He tells me
they are only up to 6 inch's as of noon, but more is coming. These
snow bands get parked, your screwed......LOL

Pic at noon of the neighbors car across the street from me. It's a
little deeper and still coming.

Grew up on the east side of Cleveland in the "Snow-belt" area . Never got used to the four and five feet of snow , from November to March , or the sub-zero temps . Liked it even less when I came home from my "vacation" in S.E. Asia .
So now I have spent the last forty-five years in the Valley of Construction , but I will be shooting in the miserable conditions of Severe Clear , and seventy degrees at Ben Avery , while thinking about you folks back there . It is hard to shovel sunshine , though .

I'm out here in Waterford also, even at 5pm we haven't got 6 inches. Took a drive down towards Cambridge and drove right out of the snow this afternoon.

6-8 inches= LUXURY!!
We dream about that,
20 inches here Wed…
