OT:Stay safe in the US Northeast

[rcperryls]

Hope the blizzard goes by with little damage. Thinking about you. We need a week or so with no one on the forum facing, going through, or recovering from a weather system gone nuts! I guess that is what happens when you span the globe like we do.

I'll second that Carole!! Looks to be a powerful storm and I'm hoping everyone stays warm and safe!!

My boss is off to Kenya on holiday tomorrow. I'll ask her to send some .

Stay safe, everyone!

[NinjaBetty]

Oh gosh it is absolutely brutal outside. It looks like we have nearly a foot of snow already and it's still coming down hard. I'm so glad we did shopping last night so we don't have to go out in this. I hope everyone stays safe and warm during this storm.

Adding my wishes for everyone to stay safe and with no power failures so that you can stay indoors warm and with your stitching in hand while you ride out the storm.
And I promise I will stop griping about all the rain we are having here in Vancouver this winter as it really is not a hardship.
Cheers

Snow is just not stopping. Have a half frozen pidgeon on my balcony, huddling in the corner. Don't feel sorry for the winged rat , I have to clean up all their poop. Some idiot decided to feed the damn things.

Not heard about this over here - yet. Please everyone up there stay safe and warm and the power stays on and you have no damage to your living spaces.

I was able to get safely to and from work on Friday, but we didn't get the worst part of the storm. Grand total of maybe a foot to a foot and a half (30-45cm). We're lucky though, Boston got pretty much closed down after almost 3 feet down there!

[nhmomquilts]

Hi all,
Here in NH we received 28+ inches of snow, Boston + 24, Portland = 31 and the clear winner was New Haven, CT with 40! Waaahooooo....tons of stitching time

[rcperryls]

Glad to hear from those of you up in the NE. Just wondering if anyone has heard from Faith (nachstenliebe)? She is in Connecticut, but I'm not sure where. I had also heard on the news that Connecticut was the worst hit state.

Saw pictures of this on the news. Unbelievable amounts of snow . Stay safe and warm everyone

[Nachstenliebe]

Yes I am in Connecticut! We got SLAMMED.. There's almost 3 feet out there, which is really unheard of being right along the coast... I usually have a friend come and shovel my yard but for the first two days the roads were closed... So I was shoveling my own way out... Got 3/4ths of the way when my father in law was able to make it over and he got my snow blower working and everything!
I had no cable and with my data could only get facebook to work.. for some reason the browser wouldn't load..
Kids are still out of school since a lot of the lesser used roads are still unsafe for travel.. It's been an adventure to say the least

[karen4bells]

Thank goodness you are safe and sound Faith!! It sounds like quite a mess there and I do hope that the snow is soon cleared and your life can get back to normal again!! Great to hear from you

[mechie]

Glad everyone is safe and warm. Hopefully, life can get back to normal soon.

I am also glad everyone is safe and warm. I remember those kinds of blizzards in Chicago and Wisconsin and why I never complain when it is god awful hot here in Charleston. I'll bet it is awful pretty though. At least for a while. I expect there are lots of snow people, forts and snow angels around. Children and snow go together.
