Pacemaker Fishing Forum

I keep forgetting that we do Dulles totals. We have less than 2" here but more reported S and E.

Ruler almost burried.  11.5+" as of 12:30 pm

Took me just 1/2 hour to clean off cars and driveway. Cars had 2-3" on 'em...driveway and walks were about an inch.

Curly wins the most snow!

Dulles reported 3.9" at 1p!

Sun is out now.

Oh...we gonna do this again later in the week?

Curly is still without power. Brrrrr...

There were a lot of families, some with infants, stuck in that mess.

As we know, Curly has a ton of striper and venison in his freezers. He’s a bit chilly in the house but his food freezers are now connected to a generator. Hard core!

We got a foot in down here in Fauquier. Power has been out since Monday morning, which for us also means no heat pump or water. Fortunately we have a wood stove to keep the house tolerable. Roads were awful this morning and trees were down everywhere. Haven't been to work yet this week.

Amazing how just a few miles south was such a drastic difference in severity.  But boy was it cold this morning.  Feel terrible for all those without power (except Curly because I figure he has a generator to keep him warm).

Two days without power so far.  Have a generator running the freezers, fridge and the TV from noon to 9 pm each day.  Gas fireplace keeps it comfortable, even without the blower fan not going.  Bathtub full of water for flushing toilets, and drinking water...........and maybe a sponge bath later today .  Probably will not get power until Friday.  All is good here

Our power came back on last night. What a relief.

Looks like more snow on the way tomorrow night.

well, catching up with everything now.  got just a tad over 14 here in stafford and lost power from Monday-Thursday night.  Thank goodness for a second power source for heating.  Used the tractor to clear the snow and then some.  Lost about 6 trees (over 20ft in height) and maybe 3 dozen more that were saplings that just snapped from the weight of snow.  All is well though.  Nice to have a MIFI, Overland setup truck, and tractor.  Met a lot of folks at the local publix (I live off exit 140) from 95 and they were exhausted and spent.  I wanted to offer them help, but they were too tired to go anywhere else, so they slept at the hospital, hotel lobby, wherever they could manage....mostly their cars.  I had planned a generator setup this past year, but with all that's going on I forgot.  I'll get it done with a nice diesel kubota!

That sounds like tough going!  I would hate to be in that situation.  Glad you came through ok.

Publix subs are so good!!! If I ever head down that way I will definitely stop by Publix for their subs.

yes!  we have a publix and their sammies are awesome!!  The cubans, italians, and those other foreigners.....buffalo chickens! lol  just kidding of course.  But yeah, the bread....fresh made right there.  It really took me away from even thinking about fishing or anything else, but I'm not complaining.  I like all four seasons after living in southern california for a bit....
