Wind was very strong here yesterday. Knocked out Kenzie’s electric for awhile. Good it’s hitting on the weekend. Stopped snowing between 2 and 3 pm in my area. We have snow blowed our driveway and our neighbor that cat sits for us. She brought out a thermos of spiked hot chocolate for us as we shoveled her front porch, etc. Yummy! Wind has been howling around all day but seems to have slowed down in the last hour. We definitely had some snow drifts. I had shoveled our back patio and 2 hours later it was all covered again and big snow drift at the back door. It does look pretty but I hope we are done with it. I am making/simmering a pot of homemade Chilli and will make some fish tacos for dinner. Eric loves Chilli but his stomach usually doesn't. I am going to mahi mahi tacos that hopefully he will enjoy as much as I will enjoy the Chilli. How is everyone else in storm area doing? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worrisome because you simply relent to the fact that you can't get out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted January 29, 2022 #47129 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Today was one of those where an enclosed solarium would have been nice. The wind and clouds made it cold. It wasn't bad when the sun broke though but that was not frequent and it was short lived. Just got to the cabin and had to turn the temp up. Tomorrow is going to be a shocker. 😯 If I were retired I would be down at Next Cruise finding a cabin for next week.😐 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that this was going to be a long duration storm, we got everything we need, so no need to get out. My son's Explorer would likely be able to get out if we had to, my SUV is a little lower so I would let him go first. 😄 DH has a truck but it is in the body shop. The contractor I use lives down the street from us and will usually drop his plow and to the end of the driveway for us at some point. Otherwise, we have two snowblowers that we will be out there with as soon as the wind dies down. It makes no sense to even try now. We likely will leave it until tomorrow when the winds have died down a bit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted January 29, 2022 #47134 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Good evening. It was 52°F but very windy with gusts over 60mph.

White chicken chili cooking in the crockpot and we are not clearing the snow until tomorrow. Stay safe and warm. Just saw your post Great minds think alike. I am also making Chili - except I am doing the beef chili. Eric was laughing at me after we came in from shoveling I put on my warm snugly flannel pj's with snowman on them to wear around the house this afternoon. I bet he will rethink his laughter and decide to get comfy too! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 6 to 8 so far. The winds are nasty. Debbie, I couldn't believe the snowfall totals at home. Most times, Forked River just gets a dusting!! Our daughter sent us a picture last night of our flagpole with the heavy wind and snow blowing. She sent another picture this morning, showing how deep it already was. 5 hours ago, DaniDanielle said: The weather is dismal, waves are rough. Charlie is much better thanks.

I'm sure your cat will be happy to see you. Last night my cats were going bonkers because of the storm and probably the air pressure affects them. They couldn't sit still and Sparky wouldn't stop meowing no matter what toy we played with. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year later we had a "We're Back" town party and invited Jim Cantore. He came and partied with us. Nice person. Our local weatherman did a pizza party in December to celebrate a hurricane free season. Thoisand showed up to the ball park where it was held. Guest star was Jim Cantore, he actually had to leave early due to tornado outbreaks. 3 hours ago, DaniDanielle said: Waters are rough, ship is rocking like crazy!

This is the same palm that was just about touching the ground last week. We put another in last spring, we were nervous for hurricane season, who knew that would be fine but instead we would have to deal with cold. We head south next week for our cruise, so ready for hopefully warmer weather. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
