So how’s the perch fishing?

[cripplecreek]

Not much in the way of perch but there is an occasional walleye taken in the deeper water near the dam. Its shallow, weedy and full of stumps. Lots of blugills, bass, and pike.

.My fridge is stocked and as long as the power stays on things will be OK.
If it’s snowing and the power goes out, I’ll bet you can figure out a way to keep things cool. ;)

It’s cold enugh here in Maine this week.

Just put some milk jugs full of water outside. Let them freeze. When you lose power, bring one in at stick it the fridge. When it thaw, replace it and put the thawed one back outside.

This is not our first rodeo.

As long as it buries the politicians from the region, I can live with it!

Conservatives, get out.

Here in Central NJ it’s wine, food, wine (:

It’s called an Alberta clipper up here.

I lived in SW CT back in 1987 when the last storm of this dimension hit the area, precisely 26 years ago. CT state highways were closed for three days, then state Governor Grasso closed things down statewide for three days as well. Commuter trains were stranded ... bottom line there was no where to go. Nine months later there was a significant uptick in new babies ... so the time at home was not completely lost.

I'm at the bottom of the target area in Watertown Ct. The forecasts were all over the map earlier today. Some were calling for 3 inches and others were calling for 30 inches. I hope it's at the lower end since I'll be out snow blowing my driveway. Stay warm, dry and safe.

[BluH2o]

Correction make that 1978 ... 35 years ago.

[Fedupwithit]

No need to stock up on beer for a snowstorm, since no one up here ever lets their stock get below blizzard levels to start with..

I was born & raised in northwest Indiana near the Michigan border on the SE edge of Lake Michigan.

Give me a break-—there are lots of nice people here.
It’s a storm,not politics.

[Slings and Arrows]

Yep, that's what a blizard'll do to you.

[Thanks for the tip, Gefn!]

The same weather pattern appeared on an episode of South Park.

Looks like almost the same scenario for Sandy, a storm coming in from out west and a nor’easter coming up the coast at the same time.

That area over TX/LA is prime nor’easter spawning grounds.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

God’s probably okay with Tom Brady. Now Bill Belichick, on the other hand...

[The Cajun]

On top of us right now, cold rain 1-2 inches tonight, about 58 degrees, 25 miles north of gulf.

[metmom]

Heh, where we are, we get both. The nor’easter smacks us one day, and then when it pulls off the coast, the winds swing around and we get lake effect off Lake Ontario 24-36 hours later.

The NWS here refers to it as the *classic one-two punch*.

When the Blizzard of 93 hit, we got 2-3 feet of snow from that and then another 2-3 feet of lake effect. Syracuse was pounded.

This storm looks to be far enough out to sea that we won’t see it, but they are forecasting 8-12 inches for Friday, which I suspect is from the storm out west. We’ll get the lake effect later anyway.

[metmom]

That’s AWESOME....
