1' on the ground and getting very cold

[Rooscooter]

The Inland Northwest is in the middle of a big winter storm. Here in Spokane we have about 12" on the ground since 5am and expecting 4 to 6 more before we clear up and get cold. The forecast is for below zero temps by tomorrow night....possibly as low as 10 below.

To all in our area....be safe and stay warm

Rooscooter,

Batten down the hatches and crank them stoves up a notch or 2 whilest you still have power. We had ours early in the week. Snow wasn't the big issue, The dang winds howled for 2 days.

Hope all stay safe and warm!

I'm going to DEFCON 3 (stoves set on 3). My house has a NG fueled back-up generator so power loss shouldn't be a problem. Will be staging 4 or 5 bags per stove tonight. Right now I'm going back out for round 3 of snow blowing.....yea!

Wow - NOAA predicting -4 for you folks Thursday night. Might need to go to DEFCON 4 or 5. Getting a break here in the Midwest. Calling for 63 (& rain) on Friday...I will be at a short-lived DEFCON 0...

Just blew another 4" off the driveway. If -4 is right I will have to go to DEFCON 4 at least!! The good news for us is that this isn't supposed to last more than a few days and we will be back up in the upper 30's to low 40's. Bad news is that what we have now you will have in 3 or 4 days in the Midwest : (

Well the snow flew fast and furious yesterday and last night. At my house I measured around 15" in the middle of the yard. The official at the airport was about 11".

Now for the wind and cold....it's supposed to be between 0° and -4° tonight and tomorrow night.

Here are a couple of photos of our neighborhood. This is the second time this year this has happened.

Maybe BTU should think about installing a pellet stove! :cheese:

 

[Pellet-King]

Didn't last year you were living in NH, BTU?, weird how you moved to a "retirement" area so quickly being a pellet distributor, maybe since pellet's became the "new gold" and were over $200 a ton you became "rich"?

 

[Pellet-King]

Maybe what I'm drinking?, i swear you were from N.H, ?
