Stay safe guys;)

Its only going to bring a snow storm. Just going to be a blizzered but in a hurricane style lol. Just like everything else news make it seem 10x worst than what it really is.

Makes me feel good to live in Wisconsin. But yet again it was snowing today and its a high of 40 out right now... -.-

Even the scientist that found it and named it said its not as bad as the news makes it..

Where I am, there will be no snow, just a lot of rain. And the scientist who finds a storm has no special insight into it; certainly, he has no more insight than other forecasters.

PHILADELPHIA EYE OF THE STORM

Is that the name of a song, a band, or an album?

I had to deal with the crazy wind down here in FL for the last two days, there were a few power companies out lately from the wind. We got around 70 - 75 MPH winds.

We had hurricane irene here last year and they said it was gonna be crazy...it drizzled...lol

Unsurprisingly, my school is closed Monday and Tuesday. DC thinks sane reactions to weather are things that happen to other people.

lol, that's pathetic. It's kind of like fay for me, it was an OMG moment and then all we get is a ton of rain, just rain. I mean, we may have had some warnings, but that's it for where I live.

EDIT: Actually, because of high wind warnings, my school was closed on Friday. Apparently there is a county thing where if winds are above 40 MPH, buses are not aloud to leave campus.

Our winds are supposed to stay generally below 40 mph. It's really just my school system overreacting to any kind of weather. One year, they canceled school in anticipation of snow, and there wound up being literally no snow.

The schools around here are shut on monday and tuesday, winds are supposed to exceed 75 mph...

I wouldn't doubt it. If it hit around 75 down here, it will surely exceed up there.

We're supposed to have a frankenstorm in my area. Anyway, bottom line:

Yup, i was down at the shore this morning doing some stuff and it was so windy that i could not walk straight. It was that windy Here are some pics.

Ya i live in Ontario and it is supposed to come up as far as where I live even though we will not be getting as bad as the East Coast.

We are supposed to get the tail end of it starting tomorrow, so, throughout this whole storm i have to winch and tow people out of ditches, lucky me

Least your not helping the fd out going around pumping out basements and other stuff like that in your own turnout gear. Does not matter to me because i use a smaller set of gear that fits me and a spare one

In NYC Tommrow Gon Be a Long Day

I live a couple minutes east of Queens/NYC. Currently typing this mid storm, enjoying a nice cold beer.

56+% of my town is without power. That 56% doesn't include me, for now. But until then.... weeeeeeeeeee!
