They are talking about stopping incoming flights this afternoon when the storm moves in. Right now it is calm and very cold, 0* . I went to take the garbage out and my fingers almost stuck to the door handle...
It'll be interesting to see what this storm brings in...

My ex and kids live over in Poulsbo. Hopefully everything will be fine, cause they don't have a generator.. I hope this crap passes before tuesday. I am headed out to Arizona, And this would put a bind on me getting out of washington.
So far I have pulled 11 people out. I need to start charging people.. But Karma always comes around.

I live like 3 miles from the hood canal....so we'll probably get a lot. With the high winds I'm also expecting some downed trees......so I need to go work on the ol' chain saw. I got 9 gallons of gas yesterday for the generator and chainsaw so I should be good for a few hours of now power

I've thought about the same thing, but when my buddy and I were cruising around in the pathfinder nobody was near their cars to pull out! They just left them on the side of and in some cases just sitting in the road!

Haha. no with the dodge. 4x4 plus chains and a tow strap. People freak out when they start sliding and get themselves in worst situations.
I wish I had two sheeats of 4x8 ply board. I would paint on them and mount them in my truck... NEED A TOW??? 50.00!!!! Cheaper than a wrecker..

no sign of it letting up, about 10" on the ground right now with what was left over from before. We're in a little pocket and seem to be getting dumped on. Its been falling at a steady pace for 6 hrs now. Real fine semi driven type of snow. The kind that doesnt let up for a while. I'm impressed to be honest, it's never snowed like this since I've lived in here and thats almost 20 years now
