SNOWAGEDDON PART DUEX: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Who knew we'd get so much fun out of this thread?
Local 717 Forcast:
This storm will be pretty unique, there's actually two fronts, one that moves in tonight, and the other that swings in tomorrow brining with it lots of snow and wind. The combination of the two give the 717 an expected 10"-20". On top of 18" from Saturday, that could be up to 28" of snow. To give you an idea of how the radar will look, here's a simulation:
Yikes.
Rambler would like you to know, that if you want to ride, don't ride the white horse. Ride the white pony. Of course by ride he means shovel, and by horse he means 18" of snow. You get the idea:

The biggest snows in 717
‘93 was the best, then there was another one in ’96 I think that wasn’t half bad. Then there was another one in like 2003 I think that was considered a blizzard. Does that sound right?

'96 was ice, 2003 was the time that classes at PSU actually got canceled.

That was a blast in 03
My frosh year. We had a huge snowball fight in east quad. Kinda gave the wrong impression that they canceled classes more than that to all us young freshman. 07 classes got canceled too I believe. Day before or day of Valentines Day.
they cancelled classes in 2000 too
but I think it was b/c of ice IIRC but 2003 was awesome – snow day bar tour
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face
i know they cancelled class because of ice too i thnk in 2003
…i remember laughing at them and calling my friends at Behrend that had 6inches of ice and were still had classes. Main only had about 2 inches if that. Pansies.
I remember my frosh year, 2000, two days before thanksgiving, Erie got 3 feet of snow over night, my RA running and screaming down the halls that classes were cancelled. First that they had cancelled classes I think since 96. Of course that made driving home a chore since another foot was still coming down and all the roads were closed. I just remember seeing a semi in a ditch in front of the PennDOT building on route 6. Good Times.
"They say in Happy Valley that if God wasn’t a Penn State fan, why is the sky blue and white?" Fortt said. "Who am I to argue with God?"
96 was worse
We got 4 feet and then less than a week later we got another 2 feet.
Wasn't '96
the same day as the last basketball game in Rec Hall? I remember my parents driving me up to State College after winter break in the storm (on the old 322). They were going to go to the game with me, but turned right around because of the snow.

It will be depressing to see how quickly 20 years of progress under Reid is going to be wiped away. They already have saddled the county with the incinerator bill, now they’re trying to get a commuter tax. What a brilliant plan burning the only people who bring money into the city outside of the bar crowds.

It seems like State College is the only place in the state where things AREN'T coming to an end
God Created the World Out Of Nothing, Paterno Built A National Superpower On Cow Fields...
I live near the Delaware Water Gap at a "higher elevation"
we usually are ground zero for these things. There is not even a flake of snow yet and the panic is epic
Of course it is not nearly as much fun as a “snow alert” in Atlanta
I <3 Skins4ever
You think Atlanta's fun?
Try Austin. I moved down here a few months ago, and two days in advance of a predicted half-inch of snow people on the radio were exhorting everyone to stock up on bottled water and canned goods. I found the panic highly entertaining; where I grew up it took about 18 inches to shut anything down.
I went to a big meeting with a bunch of NASA peeps this morning
and they were all kinda bitching and moaning about how the Washington DC branch was shutting down at noon today. We were all just chuckling and enjoying our sunshine.
Yeah, the federal gov't was liberal leave for today at like 3p yesterday
I ain’t holding my breath for the 25 inches, but I am interested in seeing the ‘summer thunderstorm winds’ that are to bring 3" an hour after 11p tonight. It’s been fallin since 10a, which they called for. But DC only needs 18" to make it the Snowiest Winter Evah here.
We’ve got plenty of groceries, but missed out on firewood. We’ll see…

Thundersnow
This morning I heard a guy on a NY radio station say there is a potential for a “thundersnow”. I don’t know what that is, but it sounds awesome!
Also, big beach erosion expected for the Jersey shore. So much for the $millions of taxpayer dollars spent for beach “replenishment”.
"God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy"
A thundersnow is a system that rolls through and drops snow at a rate of 4-6 inches on snow per hour.
And hopefully the Jersey Shore beach erosion will erode their shitty TV show off the air.

I trained one of my old dogs to do that for my dad
and is the next item on the “trick” list for Nittany (the last one was to stick her paws up in the air when I say “stick em up” and point my finger her like a gun, and then to drop to the ground “dead” when I say “bang”). The tricks for fun time has been put on hold temporarily, though, as I’ve been more focused on housebreaking my new puppy and teaching him the basics. He’s pretty much set on that now, though, so the fun tricks are about to start up again.
Cats are ok, but definitely a dog person myself. Ferrets are also fun, and remind me of a combination of a puppy and a kitten. Some people can’t stand the musky smell, though. Also they try to get into EVERYTHING, and are very persistent, so you have to ferretproof really well (sorta like babyproofing but MUCH harder). I had one ferret that figured out how to open the bottom drawer in the kitchen, climb into it, and up the back of the rest of the drawers to the top drawer, then from the inside, open that drawer and get onto the kitchen counters. This was after he figured out how to unlock the drawer to begin with.

for dealing with weather like this by relaying how I was hanging out in shorts and a t-shirt this weekend, but I’m getting kind of jealous. When you stock up on beer and food and other “supplies” and get over a foot of snow, that is the most fun you can have. Unless the power goes out.
I love knowing that you can’t go anywhere, but you’re properly prepared. I love looking outside at night and everything included the ground and the sky is whitish orange.
Sounds like fun.

we have accumulations of 6" here over night, but it’s picking up again pretty good now.

yeah
What’s your strategy? Shovel multiple times, every 6" so it’s not a big pain in the ass, or shovel everything all at once when it’s finished?
I think I’m going to do the former since last time I did the latter and it sucked pretty bad.

Taking on more than 6 inches at once:
I tried it and it sucked. TWHS.

Seriously, though, get a snowblower.
Or live next to me and wait me out. I’ll probably blow your sidewalk and the heavy stuff from the snowplow for you. I watch the local radar and don’t open the garage door until the last flakes are falling. Although this storm is different, with 8-12 inches falling over a 24 hour period. Probably have to head out 3-4 times before it’s over, and I hate making the packed-ice-tire-tracks-that-can-never-be-removed in the driveway.

I tried the latter
and my back was none too happy about it afterwards. Granted, that was at least 18" worth. Probably more.
My trick
For sidewalks, and walkways, use a small hand shovel. Like one of those you keep in your trunk for emergencies. It will only hold a couple of pounds of snow so you can just rip through the snow with quick scoops and tosses. My back is usually aching after shoveling with a big shovel b/c you tend to pick up 20 pounds of snow at a time and then twist your back to toss it.
So yeah, small shovel, takes the same amount of time and you end up with less back aching.

Shovel multiple times.
Duh.
Only a crazy person or a large, angry Gunnery Sergeant would shovel all at once.

So Rambler's shoveling style could be sumarized by this:

HAHA Pansies!
There are five people in my department today because everyone called off. I think we got maybe 4" of additional snow. I could’ve had a snow day. However because I am from freaking Erie I think 4" is kind of weak.

But I agree. I had to drive all over rural SW PA last night and could not believe the a-holes on the roads doing 7 (7!) on the main roads, that weren’t even that bad.

that's how i felt this morning coming to work
"They say in Happy Valley that if God wasn’t a Penn State fan, why is the sky blue and white?" Fortt said. "Who am I to argue with God?"
So I'm wondering
does BSD traffic go up today because everyone is stuck inside or does it plummet because no one can go into their office? Or is everyone losing power? My weatherman step-dad says that the winds will be the worst problem, not just the snow, and that he expects a ton of power outtages and some roof collapses too.
traffic
Well, if you ask me, the traffic will actually go down b/c people will be shoveling, napping, watching TV, cleaning their houses… A normal Wednesday people are chained to their desks at work so they’re probably more likely to check the site. At least that’s my opinion.

i know our porch roof is about to collapse
which is ok because we don’t like it. hopefully it does so we can get a new one.

I'd go out and give it a nudge.
Or call Ed Hightower and have him come blow it over.

Yes I do.
I’m bored, I’m snowed in and I have liquor.
Tomorrow I’m making a whiskey cake.

Snowblower is in the garage. Beer in the fridge (Yengling and Blue Moon).

Tried snowblowing a little earlier, and none of the blown snow actually hit the ground.
You could watch it swirl upward in the wind and blow right over the neighbor’s house. Incredible. Of course any snow blown into my face felt like a sand-blasting.

Unrelated football antecdote
This week I am working with the daughter of former Wake Forest Coach Bill Tate, He was the 1952 Rose Bowl MVP when he played for Illinois. Oh, and he recruited Brian Piccolo. Thought that was cool.
Also, a recently transgendered female challenged my expertise in my field. That just does not happen every day. I think that is just the kind of thing that would amuse you guys.
I <3 Skins4ever
what is your field (if you don't mind my asking)
just trying to think of what a recently transgendered female (previously male or previously female?) would be challenging in a career.

Thanks, dude
How you been? You gave up the T-rape for a return to Minnesota, right? How r things?
"We just forgot our pants. Nothing against the team or anything like that." -- take a guess
Yeah,
sure did. It’s been pretty nice being around the family again. Football season is much better when you don’t have to get up at 9 am for games.
Way to reach back in time for the T-rape reference and firmly solidify your status as BSD historian.
