wagner Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 So, will this storm be the beast for us that the fear mongers are predicting, or will it be a joke? I know my friends in the south have caught all the smoke so far and are in a bad place. Texas is having power issues since the grid can't handle everyone trying to use it at the same time... I've seen everything from 5-12+ inches of snow for us here in the Columbus area. I'm going to park my guess at 5-inches. I cleared off my patio table so I can track it.

gillbot Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Over my way they were initially calling for 18" to 2 feet, that has since dwindled all the way down to ~3" but now they are calling for 1/4-1/2" of ice, which is a lot. I think it'll be something, but I can't say what yet. We've already gotten more than 3" of snow on the first round but it broke up pretty quick. I'm guessing we'll get a decent amount on round 2, I'd guess 6" at least. I'm more worried about the ice. I dug the generator out so I'm ready to rock regardless. With all this demand on the power grid showing issues, I can't wait till we all start plugging our cars in. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Nashville got a shitload of sleet the last 24-48h. We are supposed to get 5-8in today - I don’t believe it, but we will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict they will hype it either way. Zeros given as genny is working great and have enough go juice. I,m more worried about vents clogging up asphyxiating everyone as much as anything else.

Wease Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Weather Underground just completely changed their forecast, now it's saying just 1-3 inches with it ending around 1:00 AM. This is for Powell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 The amount of freak out about snow cracks me up. I mean what are you doing that "IF" absolutely necessary you can't survive one, maybe two days in your house without leaving? That being said (and I'm not that old 32) but I've never seen a snow where we couldn't find our way to the closest grocery store and I lived in the middle of nowhere for awhile...

gillbot Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 If COVID taught us anything, it’s that we can survive without leaving the house..... for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thats what I was thinking! I mean me I've worked and been out with the proper precautions this entire pandemic but I know tons of people are working from home/etc. now...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 It is some slippery shit though. My driveway has about 5" of granular sleet/ice that the ole Colorado refused to go through. I couldn't even get the front of the truck off the road. Its about time for a replacement, I think.

Wease Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 So 5.5 hours into the "snow" and it's mostly sleet and little snowballs here in Powell. I just shoveled, but there was only maybe 1.5 inches on it. I'd rather shovel more than once, hence I went and did it now, and will again tomorrow. Especially if we were supposed to get an ass ton of snow. It's supposed to slow down around 1:00 AM, so I'm just not seeing anything close to 5-8" happening.

Forrest Gump 9 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Just dragged the trash cans to the curb. Probably 1-2” on the ground. I want to jump in the car and go play in the snow bad, but too lazy to clean the ice off, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 the stuff on the ground is heavy AF. My car wouldn't even creep in drive on flat ground despite only around an inch. Was fun to kick the rear out in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 We had no snow, all ice. Lost a few trees out back but nothing crazy. I'm waiting for a bit of a thaw before I go attempt any cleanup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wease Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 We got maybe 4 inches total in Powell. It was a lot of sleet though. Shoveling would have been easier this morning if it was just white and fluffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 From yesterday we had that snow. Maybe 1-2 inches? Then the layer of ice, then maybe a few inches on top of that. I feel bad for the people who shoved the 1-2 inches and then let the ice come down. El Toro took up all the ice and snow in my driveway with moderate ease. Neighbor to the right of me wasn't so lucky. Tried to shovel. Fuck that. got 1-2" off the ground and then it was 1" of ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
