Got my pellet stove cranked up. Oak Red Cherry and Poplar spears. I have a shallow fireplace and very angled forward back wall, which outputs a lot of heat. I love it. Otherwise, gas 90/10 furnace. When it snows, the fire is always going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caviman2201 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I get it... I'd be out and about if I lived in the city too.

Has been getting worked over and missed by every major storm sense 05. Sure some were a bit better than others, but no official records in any snow storms. Last official snow storm to break 12" was in 83 I believe. Not even 96.. do to stupid official measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him about this storm 5 days ago when the GFS refused to budge (obviously said that there was a large chance of changes since we were still 5 days out at the time). He told me I was crazy (he's from Tennessee, so I dunno how he think's I'm crazy). Today, he trolled me because it was initially forecasted to start early Friday. I cannot win lol.

Anyone who doesn't plan to stay up all night on a Friday night for the biggest storm in over 5 years doesn't belong on this forum imo.

He's missing out on this white out right now...take solace in that. I predicted 24-30" for DC to my team at work...even if we get 23.9", I'll never live it down, ha.

You can either do so at a site like Imgur.com or by directly attaching the image to your post. If you use Imgur, once the image has uploaded, they should provide you with a direct link. Copy that direct link, and then in your post, hit the little image icon (between the link icon and the <:> button), and paste in your link location. Good luck!
