Posted January 23, 20168 yr FPCH Admin Well, we have approximately 10" and counting right now. We are expected to get 22" or more today and throughout the night. I hope we don't lose power or internet. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 23, 20168 yr Author FPCH Admin My poor dog....... ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 23, 20168 yr Author FPCH Admin Thanks, Bill! :D ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 23, 20168 yr FPCH Staff You gotta shovel a place for poochie to go. I spent about an hour with the snow blower clearing my driveway this morning. There was a good 12 inches of snow, not even counting the snow drifts or that pile the township snow plow left at the end of my driveway.
January 23, 20168 yr Author FPCH Admin Yeah, Rod just finished shoveling out back so Jax has a place to go. He's working on the front now with the snow blower. It's still coming down so he's going to have to do it again tonight. I may have under-estimated at 10", it looks more like 15", if not more. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 23, 20168 yr FPCH Admin Stay safe. Looks like it's your turn for the big snowstorms. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
January 23, 20168 yr FPCH Admin I just heard on the news that the worst is yet to come for you. Looks like this is going to a record breaker. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
January 23, 20168 yr Author FPCH Admin Yeah, I'm really worried that we are going to lose power. There are already 20, 000 reported power outages in Lower Bucks County. Doesn't bode well for us.... ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 23, 20168 yr Cindy & Tony.......If it's any consolation it's cool here in florida...... 63F with blue sky & sunshine.
January 23, 20168 yr Author FPCH Admin Cindy & Tony.......If it's any consolation it's cool here in florida...... 63F with blue sky & sunshine. Now that is just brutal, N3! :D My granddaughter, trying to find her sandbox. She finally gave up! ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 23, 20168 yr Cindy......I'll bet your granddaughter enjoyed the snow. When i was a child & a teenager, i loved having a blizzard! It meant that schools were called off.
January 24, 20168 yr My daughter's aging dog relishes eating the snow. All the snow intake may be the reason for frequent requests to go outdoors, or he just likes rolling in the snow.
January 24, 20168 yr Nice to see you online this morning Cindy. Glad you made it through the night with power!
January 24, 20168 yr Author FPCH Admin Thanks, Bill! :D I think we ended up with 28" of snow. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 24, 20168 yr FPCH Admin How high are the drifts? You got high winds too don't you? Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
January 24, 20168 yr Author FPCH Admin Yes, the winds were up to 50 miles an hour and we have a lot of 4 and 5 foot drifts. (At least the ones that I can see, I haven't been out in this mess yet.) ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 24, 20168 yr FPCH Staff 28.2 inches reported in the news for Malvern, PA. Everything's good here so far. Had to run the snow blower a few times yesterday.
January 24, 20168 yr Author FPCH Admin Rod is out running the snow blower again and doing some more shoveling from the snow that we got late last night. I am so glad that it's over and that we survived without losing power. A lot of people didn't fare as well as we did. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 24, 20168 yr By some miracle we (suburb of Philadelphia) did not lose power in spite of high winds and tons of snow! Power outages are a frequent occurrence in this borough. I live in a first-floor condo apartment -- if I were allowed to and could handle it, I'd be tempted to buy a generator. Poor guy two doors away is having a fit! I think management hired some inexperienced locals to use snow blowers instead of shovels in between vehicles and other tight areas. They buried my neighbor's car parked in front of his unit as well as a path to his front door. I'd be livid too!:real_anger:
January 24, 20168 yr Author FPCH Admin Yeah, my daughters driveway was plowed over by the street plows. She had about a six foot mound at the bottom of her driveway. Rod and my grandson had to get rid of it. It took the snow blower and the two of them shoveling almost three hours. It was a mess. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
