Hey Renae, you recieving any of this blizzard? I haven't seen conditions like this in years! Highways, streets, restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores all closed! but I made it to work! If so good luck over there, '73 Harley kc9gld YES!! I think last time it was this bad here was 1999! White out conditions, wind gusts up to 30mph so far have a 5 foot snow drift in the driveway. we have 6 inches already but the wind is blowing. We are south of I80 my friend lives near Kankakee they have over a foot already. we are supposed to have this crud until 8-10pm local time I hear the crud is supposed to last longer by you. |

Yes that is correct, There's a funny but I guess expected thing that went on here at work. Everyone in central Indiana knew 3 days ago this was coming yet last night there was a run at the grocery stores for water, milk and salt (for sidewalks). Yesterday we had in inventory 3 pallets of salt (300 bags), I just went to look, we have 6 bags left!
It's like a zoo over here the vhf repeaters in Indy are going crazy, there's a bunch of hams out and about looking to help stranded motorists yet they're getting themselves stuck in these snowbanks. It's comical listening to them, I just hope nobody gets in serious trouble.
Well I'm gonna wind up here at work early and get outta here so I don't get stranded here
'73 up there hope you don't get as much as we have already got! Harley kc9gld

I am glad it was calm yesterday Renae. Snow although lovely to see and play in when it isn't too deep can be a killer so plz make sure you are both warm and safe and have plenty of supplies.

It is 1 (-17C) degree sunny and clam outside today. I have not left the house since Tuesday. I always make sure we are stocked up in winter ...never know when a snow storm will hit! |
