Ladies and gentlemen:
Philly's second and third largest storm of all time and DC's second largest of all time, the alleged Snowpocolypse or Snowmageadon, still measure below the two large storms here in South Dakota, which were top 10ers but do not come close to the true Snowhydrogenflakedetonation that hit in 1979 or the MuthaSnowaofAlltimeA that hit during the end of 1968. I will certainly tip my cap to the folks in Philly and DC who are tasting what we got kissed with in December. I recommend Husquavarna snow removal products... they are like tanks.
But, to give all of you a better illustration of how this winter differs from any I have faced in Iowa or SD for the last 15 years or so, since moving here in 1999, I had the snowblower and other than routine annual maintenance with an oil change, new plugs, etc. I never had a problem. In particular, I never knew there were these critical parts called shear pins that will break and disable the auger in the machine before the volume and weight of snow being blown is too great for the machine. In a period of less than 6 weeks, I have gone through seven (7) shear pins. My machine has two shear pins and at one point, I blew out both, which from an engineering standpoint I have come to learn is virtually impossible.
In short, this is a bitch of a winter. Al Gore and El Nino, I hold you both jointly and severally responsible.

| I know, right? I wish I had the foresight to put in for Wednesday. Although I might give my Tuesday to someone who was supposed to be out of town, but couldn't make the flight. 6-10 inches is what I heard for this next one.......its pretty crazy. This stuff is going to be around for quite some time.

I hope all of you are staying warm and safe. I was up in Owings Mills right around the time of the Rams/Titans SuperBowl. They got a huge noreaster then also, but being from Colorado, it wasn't anything I hadn't seen before. However, the entire state shutting down n shit was crazy!

I need something bitter for a blizzard. I recommend Stone Brewery's Arrogant Bastard Ale. You may end up passed out and covered in snow, but it will be a sweet ride. |

Well, looks like another storm's a brewin!

Another big snowstorm forecast for East Coast
26 mins ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Another big winter storm was forecast on Monday for the U.S. mid-Atlantic still struggling to dig out from a blizzard that dumped two feet (half a meter) of snow and closed the federal government.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for Washington, D.C., beginning at noon/1700 GMT on Tuesday and continuing into Wednesday, with projected snow totals of 10 to 20 inches.
The potentially crippling new storm was expected to hit other big cities along the East Coast, like Baltimore and Philadelphia, that are still digging out and extend into New Jersey and New York.
It would only add to the 32 inches of snow that had fallen in suburban Washington in the biggest snowfall to hit the city in decades.
The federal government was closed on Monday, though President Barack Obama still held meetings at the White House. Schools and most businesses in the region remained shut.
As officials worked to clear snow-covered streets from the Washington area, residents braced for another storm expected to dump much more snow than initially forecast.
Local officials in Montgomery County, Maryland, said the next storm could cause some roofs to collapse from the weight of all the snow and there could be more power outages.
In the county, about 80,000 people lost power on Saturday, and some customers still had no electricity or heat on Monday. Many schools said classes would be canceled through Tuesday, even before the latest storm warning.
On Monday, winter sunshine bathed the nation's capital and the surrounding region, where people dug out their driveways and sidewalks, and plows finally started to clear streets in some residential neighborhoods.
Bus service on Monday was limited to just a small number of routes in the Washington, D.C., area and the region's subway ran trains only on the underground portion of the system.
In New York, oil rose nearly 1 percent on Monday, after three sessions of losses stemming from the weaker U.S. dollar, geopolitical disputes, and the cold weather.
Unusually cold weather will settle across key heating fuel consuming regions in the United States this week, in the wake of heavy snow over the weekend and the next storm coming, forecasters said.
In Chicago, winter is wreaking havoc on the nation's livestock and energy markets and there may be at least three more weeks of cold, snowy weather.
Cold and snow blanketed much of the central United States this winter, slowing weight gain in cattle and hogs, delaying livestock sales, and increasing feed costs for producers.
The new storm might also hit the Northeast, the nation's largest market for heating fuel. The weekend blast largely bypassed that region.

Well, the reports we are hearing for MD are saying 12-18 inches on top of all of this, with blizzard like conditions into Wednesday. And then there is going to be something else coming Monday.

Equipments warming up.... Western Ohio in a "WHITE OUT", expected to get to Cleveland soon... Cleveland forecast isnt bad... 10-12 inches on the western half, the traditional snow belt isnt at that level with this one. 50 mile an hour winds tomorrow will really get this thing going with the drifts... | | |
