Winter Storm Juno

We're supposed to get 16-20 inches. I'm sleeping in since classes will most likely be cancelled, then just lazing around my apartment all day.

 

Im currently stressing! I live in the UK but im flying to New York on Thursday.Panicking i wont get there!

 

Denver's high temperature today - 72 F.

Not complaining at all.

Yeah, we're getting 18-24. We already had 7+ on the ground from the other day too.

The amount of snow isn't concerning to me, I used to live in the mountains in New Hampshire, where we'd get this amount of snow on a somewhat regular basis. The wind (up to 50mph) is the more worrying part.

I had work this morning, but we closed at 1:30 so we could get home before the worst stuff hit. I plan on snuggling in bed with my kitty, and playing video games. If we lose power, I may actually get my room clean!

 

I just had to check the weather there because I read that as minus 72 F.

At -72 F, I would be complaining. :icon_bigg

 

Im supposed to get about 0 inches of snow.

 

There's already around 2 inches of snow on the ground at the moment. I think there's supposed to be at least 2 feet of the stuff by tomorrow morning.

 

I'm exceptionally jealous.

 

I'm right along the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border, an area expected to get 2-3 feet of snow. I welcome the storm -- I think it's nice to have one blizzard every year -- but I'm worried about potentially losing power for a few days. If I'm stuck at home by myself with nothing for entertainment I'm going to go crazy.

 

There is a chance this storm might get my friends and I stuck We've been in the DC area for a convention and we have a flight home tomorrow... It hasn't gotten too bad yet but we are really worried... Wish us luck getting home!

 

If we have power: Everything is golden. We've got electric blankets, we can bake so that the oven keeps the house warm, make tea and coffee and hot cocoa, make soup, all kinds of things really.

If we loose power but still have gas and water (like we did when Sandy hit): No oven (It's electric) and no electric blankets. Stove will still work, so we can still make soup and tea and such, and we have a fireplace to keep warm. Oh and candles. Enough candles can generate a fair amount of heat.

If we loose power gas and water: IDK about my folks, but I'm already planning to survive by making a firepit outsite and cooking there, and we have tons of blankets. Plus the fireplace and candles I mentioned.

If it lasts for long enough I presume we'll function like they did in the olden days of yore, only with slightly more social equality and enough common sense to know basic science. I have books on sustainable living and living off the land, so I think I'll be fine.

 

As an Upstate New Yorker who loves snow I'm jealous. Its ridiculous how little snow we've had this winter and downstate is getting yet another storm

 

Toss some of that down over here. It's only snowed like three times here. Plus I want to go ice fishing again. And make snow angels and make I big snow pile so I can jump off my roof and land in it. Get me a snowboard. Have my brother drive my truck while I hold onto a rope. (That is totally Illegal, but fun once we hit the bottom roads near the Mississippi River. No cops there.

 

Yeah, so, that 16-20 turned into 1-5 inches, so...

 

I got hit with "snowvember" south of Buffalo. We got 6 feet in less than 3 days. Here's what I did: check the heating pipes outside and test the CO detector. Keep at least one car clear in case of emergencies. Walk around at night because there is something so beautiful about dead quiet and empty roads when they're usually so busy. Oh, and we made friends with all our neighbors and shoveled together.

 

Good luck getting home!
