ChrisL Posted January 17, 2022 Share #8 Posted January 17, 2022 The tsunami hype on the news was crazy yesterday. Tidal surges of 2-4 feet are possible!!! I wonder if anyone knows normal tidal flows are commonly 4- 6’ or more every freaking day. Hmm well that doesn’t create panic. Just beat down tidal surges of 2-4 feet!!!!

Kirby Posted January 17, 2022 Share #9 Posted January 17, 2022 I turned on the weather channel and they were broadcasting in the snow from Greenville! They went to the local guy standing on a corner by a gas station and then the woman in the studio had to show she knew about Greenville and started talking about the road he was on. Then the local guy started talking about how it was developing so fast and they had just torn up a field of trees to build some development. Somewhere in heaven, Cheese was getting very angry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 17, 2022 Share #13 Posted January 17, 2022 Come on April! We only got about double this amount by 8 pm and maybe there will be another inch into the morning, before it warms to 40° Monday. There's supposed to be up to an inch of ice beginning around now, but there's still less than an inch on the side roads so at least it won't be hidden under the snow. The County offices are closed for MLK but trash collection is on so I have to put my cans out tonight in case they pick it up tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 17, 2022 Share #30 Posted January 17, 2022 I'm alive! I woke up a 5:30 am and realized I hadn't set out my garbage - which is scheduled to be collected, normally around 7 am, even though it's MLK's Birthday and we only get one collection/week. Outside, almost all the snow had disappeared from an overnight rain but, as I walked outside, I realized it had mostly turned to ice. My first thought was, "I'm going to slip on the ice, break something, not be able to stand up and I'll freeze to death." My second thought was, "I guess I'll be able to crawl back to the door." So, very flat-footed, I carried a garbage and a recycling can, one at a time, out to the street. Only the street and sidewalk were really slippery, but I was careful and lucky there's an anti-slip tread on the bottom of the sandals I wear around the house that worked pretty well. So, after all that, they probably won't collect until tomorrow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get as much as friends in Ligonier, PA and Lockport NY got and are getting I'm bringing the dog trailer and camping in your driveway. You will have sled dogs running up and down the trail by your house. I'll bring an extra sled and equipment and the Airedales can join the fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted January 17, 2022 Share #36 Posted January 17, 2022 P.S. to "I'm alive." I noticed most of my neighbors hadn't set their garbage out, either because they didn't expect collection on MLK Day - I had looked it up online - or because they didn't want to slip-and-slide putting the garbage out in the snow and sleet. But the garbage trucks - which we only get once a week - came for both garbage and recycling. My recycling bin was full so I'm glad I woke up early and thought about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted January 17, 2022 Share #38 Posted January 17, 2022 I got my first call asking if I was closing schools for tomorrow.

Oddly enough, folks complain about the wall to wall snow event coverage, and then complain about the lack of wall to wall snow event coverage before going back to complaining about the wall to wall snow event coverage. Rinse and repeat a dozen times. I'd wager, on average, we have more weather posts in the Cafe than we do cycling posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted January 17, 2022 Share #40 Posted January 17, 2022 I drove 40 miles round trip to drop off a medical form this morning. I got there and the parking lot was all cleared and the sidewalk cleared but their doors were locked. I called them and got a recording that the practice was open but due to a lot of phone calls they were unable to answer the phone right now. Leave your name and number and we will get back to you. I stopped at Aldi and got milk, I was their only customer. when I got home someone had plowed my driveway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share #45 Posted January 18, 2022 We ended up with around 6 inches at my house, the official number for Pittsburgh is 9 point something. Tried out the old Case tractor at snow plowing. It did pretty good, this snow was heavy and had packed down pretty solid. Need to get some weight over the rear tires, but it had plenty of power. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted January 18, 2022 Share #46 Posted January 18, 2022 I hope Wilbur and Rattlecan will say, despite their paralyzing dump in certain roads in Metro Toronto, ....still they each should have experienced something just as serious or more years back. In our area in prairies, the frequency of heavy snow 1-2 times throughout every winter, is real. It's only January.....so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a record for snowiest January day recorded. Kinda surprising that 18 inches would be a record. We got 22-24” in our suburb. It was big time snow, but everyone just chilled and things are mostly back to normal today. Not many power outages, so not much suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
