imschur Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 Here we go again. Almost a year to the day as last October's blizzard. I hope we arent in the bullseye this time.
planeflyer21 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 We sure could use some rain here. Especially since I'm digging in coliche.Stay warm!Jon
Microgunner Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 Hang in there and get the cats indoors.
edgecrusher Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 Figures, first I've heard of this still being in AZ, and we are coming home into it!? Drew, if you could send me some info in a pm, I have limited internet access out here. Shit, hope its passed for my state trooper exam, that is rain or shine...
98Z5V Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 Gotta check this one out, Greg.http://www.foxnews.com/weather/2012/10/26/east-coast-prepares-for-pre-halloween-frankenstorm/This looks like a very nasty weather system, brother. :-[
edgecrusher Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 Awesome. We are flying out of Denver on Monday with a layover in Charlotte, (remember the last one?! ), this is going to blow. Going running calll you in a few.
unforgiven Posted October 26, 2012 Report Posted October 26, 2012 Seems like the cold hitting midwest is gonna fire up the east,hope it goes out to Atlantic.To those on the east coast be ready,be safe.
imschur Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Posted October 27, 2012 Right now they expect the storm to hit land in New Jersey but they figure it can go 100 miles either direction. The governor was on and he said expect 7"-14" of rain between Sunday night and Wednesday morning.Greg you guys should not see it too bad relatively speaking. The storm is supposed to track straight inland rather than head north.We need the rain too but not like this.
survivalshop Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 We , here in Florida & the south , didn't want keep all the storms to our selves this year, so we let this one go by us , sorry. <dontknow>
Madhouse Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Good luck you nor'easters. This one looks to be a nasty little number.
imschur Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 The governor was on at 6:30. They expect sandy to be the worst storm CT has ever seen by anyone living. This is going to suck because the last two pussy storms caused me lost power for a week. We still have a lot of leaves on the trees.It's expected that there will be coastal devastation with 4 high tides 7-14' above normal. We had 7' for about 6 hours last year and it was bad. This storm is supposed to sustain for 36 hours.Currently we are getting serious wind gusts. We are not even expecting the storm to reach us until tomorrow mid morning. Supposed to exit early Wednesday.I think the folks 180 degrees from us are going to get hammered with wet snow.
98Z5V Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Batten down the hatches, hunker down, and stay safe, brother. I'll be thinking about you, and Greg, if he can even get back.
planeflyer21 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 You folks in the NE, remember...if the temperature is dropping rapidly, sleet is blowing and everything is icing over, there is a pounding on the door..."Help me! I'm Senator Schumer! Let me in or I'll die!", shut the lights off and crank the stereo.Jon
edgecrusher Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Well this bitch Fu cked me. Our initial flight out of Denver has been canceled for a later one. Now Bradley international in Hartford is closed Monday. Period. Not even going to try. So we are stuck in Charlotte Monday, and perhaps Tuesday, unknown, on our dime. All the car rental places are out, I thought about driving home, negative.:tfg: sandy!
imschur Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 thats sucks man, everything is shutting down.
planeflyer21 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Bummer Greg!May as well make the best of it.Go around and ask the locals in Charlotte "Where's the best place to get some of those deep-fried breaded fat balls, with butter on them?" <thumbsup>Jon
imschur Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 CT is closing the highways at 1pm
unforgiven Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Be safe brother Greg,Good luck <thumbsup>
98Z5V Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Greg, please tell me that you have the OBR in your possession... I can see the bag smashers and ramp monkeys playing volleyball with the case, otherwise. :(
imschur Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Posted October 29, 2012 My un-interuptable power supplies at home and at the office are going crazy. Folks all around me without power. My old lady just called. Her parents just had a tree split in two length wise.
unforgiven Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. <thumbsup>
edgecrusher Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Boots on ground in Charlotte, OBR in hand, have taken to hard ass approach for rest of trip, unless kindness shown first, often not the case. Tuesday's flight canceled, unsure of when I'm going home. Drew, be safe! We are having heather's mom pick us up, to save on hotel fees, trying to reschedule flight now.Hey n.c. members, I'm going to be in Greensboro, with my OBR, lets shoot! Send pm ! Good luck to everyone in north east!
