Tonight when I get home I'll be bringing plenty of wood inside to feed the furnace without having to tromp through the snow and dig under tarps for dry wood. My wife did her part by picking up Saranac's "12 Beers of Winter" yesterday. It's going to be a good weekend ;)
 
Just a day or so - they said we were gonna get any of it, but they've changed their tune. We are expecting about 6-8. I hear folks closer to the coast could get 12 +

I have to travel for work on Sunday - so I hope it's done by 3!

Am leaving work now to go home and stock the interior pile, nothing like a nice nor'easter to brighten up a wood burner's day!!

Saranac - that's good stuff!!
 
I have a wood ring in the garage that I keep full for weekends like this. I have to walk right past a case of craft brews to get to it. Coincidence? I think not.

Happy Holidays everyone!

You know, one of those metal rings you see on everyone's porch full of wood. Perhaps that's not the proper term..

Saying 8-12" here. The more the better I feel. Those Saranacs sound good, but if Im not going to the store all weekend, a 12er might not cut it. I think I'll go with the 4 cold ones per inch method and see what happens. Stay warm all.

I wasnt asking what a wood ring was, I want your home address so I can steal some brews
 
I live just south of Cincinnati in Northern Kentucky...calling for 2 inches here, but off to the southeast
in the mountains the forecast is for 12+ in the higher elevations.

Bring it on, I love snow!

You southern boys always get lucky (more snow) with these coastal storms. Good point on the brews though-I may have to swing by the store on my way home and grab some River Horse Belgian Frostbite to supplement.

Yeah..... I'm kind of pissed..... It's hitting south of me. I was hoping to get the first good pounding of snow this weekend.
 
Also here in northern KY. 2" of snow. Bring it on. Will be great for deer hunting in the morning.

You have that cool bar Mrs Rileys too. Well, its cool except for all the Red Sox crap in Yankee territory. The Belgian River Horse is great. We'd get along just fine. Down here you need the Flying Fish Double Expresso Porter.

Sorry - sometimes I don't read all the words...
Actually, its a mixed case of Kirkland beer from Costco. Someone at work recommended it. Not bad for the $$. There's a 6pack each of pale ale, german lager, amber and Hefeweizen all from New York brewery.

You'll have to get past my guard dog first. Her name is Molly.

Easy with the Red Sox crap.......
 
The bar logger is talking about is indeed cool-I'm unaffiliated when it comes to baseball-never liked it much. If you're talking football or hockey its Giants and Devils all the way, but enough hi-jacking my own thread...lol The latest is that it'll be starting at 6 AM up here in the northwest. I'll be ready.

My panties would be in a bunch too if all I had were the Sox and Pats!!!!!
 
12-20 inches of snow forecast...check
two cords covered on the side porch...check
30 or so splits inside...check
avoiding the supermarket right now...check
three cases of good beer ready...check

Enjoy the snow (and your wood burning appliances) Mid-Atlantic folks!
 
12 inches plus forecast here, supermarket run is done, wood coming in next, then a beer run. Tractor is fueled up to get me up to my buddies to share some beer with. I will be ready.

Haa. I was just kidding. My Giants are in bad shape too. At least there's some snow and the weekend to look forward to.
