EastCoast NPZ Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Beau update? White Grass is reporting 28" as of 7am. My daughter is off school again today so thinking a road trip? Looks about right http://webcam.whitegrass.com/video.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 We somehow kept our power on here. Beau has been out taking pics and video. I'm sure he will be posting soon. Over two feet of snow and some nice drifting. Exhausting to shovel this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siberian Express Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Living out there, surely you've got a snow blower? haha...that's what I was thinking...heavy, wet, "heart attack" snow is no fun to shovel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Living out there, surely you've got a snow blower? Nope -- usually the fluffy upslope snow is a breeze to shovel. Plus if I bought one, it would totally jinx that following snow season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 TWC is reporting 18" in Davis,WV. That surely has to be from you guys from last night! Lol Keep us updated guys. Awesome pics and vids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if I bought one, it would totally jinx that following snow season. LOL. That's one reason why I've never bought one. Well, that and the fact that I'd use it about once every 5 years here.

BeauDodson Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 We have power. 95% of the town does not have power. It snowed all night - strong winds, as well. Estimated 28-30" at this time - very hard to measure. That is my best estimate and the estimate of some of the people clearing roads. Supposed to snow all day. Here are a few pics - more later Hope we keep power but we are planning on it going out. So far - it is on. Someone said we were just on CNN - the view I posted last night.

BeauDodson Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 State of Emergency in effect - not supposed to drive or be out on the roads. Basically walking around - saw a couple of people walking dogs - trucks clearing roads. No utility trucks are out 1 person killed in this town - cement truck slid into her car. Neighbor down the road was telling me about it. One child in the car injured (her son). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 So awful to hear of the woman killed. Sobering news in stark contrast to the beauty of the scenery captured in Beau's photos. Thoughts and prayers are with her family, especially her son. Thank you, Beau, for your photos and updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
