Heads up Massholes, looks like a couple FEET of snow are heading your way.

Supposed to start here tonight but we're getting off lucky by comparison, only expecting 6-8". Didn't realize but this storm has such a huge potential impact that they've actually named it, which I don't think I've seen before...

Batten down the hatches, stock up on your stogies and firewood, and keep us posted on how you're making out as the snow comes down

Yeah, we're only supposed to get 3-6" but people are freaking out based off the reports for North of here. Noticed this is the 2nd storm I've seen them name this year, but never previously - odd. Wonder if that's a new gimmick from the media! :yes:

We actually blame House Repubs for not voting through the aid, but that's a political argument I have no interest in participating in! :yes:

Yeah, the House Republicans were the ones preventing southern aid crews from entering and/or remaining in the area. Oh wait, no. Those were the extremely liberal unions. Hmm.

Anyways... Stay safe, guys. If you actually get that much, that's nothing to scoff at.

The National Weather Service started naming winter storms (like hurricanes) this season. I will be watching and praying for you noreasters.

Snowing in jersey already. They said anywhere from 6-15" inches here. Going to gas up the truck and fill up the gas cans for my blower. Picking up a case of nugget nectar. I love the snow.

Not me, dude, I'm counting on the free market to sort it out. :)

Seriously, though, stay safe out there.

Coming down pretty heavy in CT right now. Wife and son are in florida until sunday. Picked up a bottle of jim beam black, got plenty of pipe tobacco and cigars to hold out. As long as the electricity stays on it'll be no problem.

lol, It all depends on what in his kit he starts his day with, so many vastly different outcomes

Have to start with the smokes first, of course! for the record the kit doubles as a Zombie Apocalypse Survival kit. Assuming I have enough gas for the chain saw. ;P

lol that pic reminds me of a thread I saw back in my poker days:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/34/other-other-topics/home-depot-battle-royale-what-3-weapons-do-you-choose-859413/

So you are chosen to compete against 9 other people. All ten of you are locked in a standard Home Depot, that is dark except the emergency lights above the exits. The goal is to kill one another to become the last man standing, last person alive gets to leave.

You are allowed to choose 3 pieces of equipment to aid you. Anything with a bar-code counts as one piece of equipment, for example, if you choose a nail gun, then a container of nails will be needed, so that would equal two pieces of equipment. You can use only the equipment you choose, no scalping from dead guys.

What three weapons would you choose, and what would be your strategy?

Well that's what you have to pay for living up north. It's in the 60's in Texas,but we have to suffer thru the Hot summers. I guess trading places would work out fine. Stay warm..and smoke em up!
