Yeah I heard "down the road" got hit pretty hard. >>

BB, FYI, I located my bearings in an earlier post and it is definitely down the road. I changed my original location of 'on the banks of the Savannah' months ago when ever body here seemed to think we was so ignorant down herein the south.
 
Yeah weather observations lose something when there isn't any location reference point.

My cotton mouthed Texas accent comes in handy when whoever I am dealing with figures I have to be a dumb sucker from the South.

It is hard to sound sophisticated with a southern accent. Rather odd, if you consider our history, with the south driven by refined aristocrats and the north by crass industrialists. I blame Hollywood.

This am at 9 use snowblower, shovel etc 12" of snow. Starts to rain...great. Finish up. Couple hours and 4" of snow, sleet, ice pellets and what have you later, do it again...fine. Do the neighbor's drive, fine, great. Calling for 2-4" overnight on the backside. Great, great, great.
 
Raining hard with thunder and lighting-first time I've ever seen that with 18" of snow on the ground. 6" more tonight is what they claim...
 
I came home to this. Plowed in, right up to the mailbox.

The snowblower had no trouble with it:

To make things interesting, we went out and hadda earthquake (4.1) last night. Although not so uncommon, it's nothing like you west coasts dudes live with; it was pretty dadgum real. We have extensive extensive storm damages and a whole lotta work ahead but, just like the south, its 65 the next day, which is a good enough reason for not knowing how to act in the snow (or ice).

and BubbaBart, if my location wasnt close enough for the 'net, check the epicenter. >>
