We are getting a pretty good storm here (NNY). Nothing I have not seen before....and more than once.

It seems like the normal weather pattern we had when I first moved here in 1996. 6 degrees, windy, heavy and blowing (20-30mph) snow. Hell, I have hunted all day in weather like this.

What I want to know is.....why are so many people (not ones on GB really) having such a huge cow about it?

The news called it a "life threatening storm for 240 million people in the US and Canada". Really?

How many of you, that are getting the heavy snow and winds, are freaked out about this storm system?

    Well, we're back to winter in my little corner of Orygun. Couple of inches of snow last night, 20-40 mph gusts and mid-20s.

    Brrr.

    Really feel for you guys in all that cold. We are supposed to be as high as 70 today. And dry.


    While that is good just wait for summer, there is almost no snow in the mountains. The rain we have had does not even come close to what we need to make it thru the summer.

    It is going to get real bad here in a little while. Already had a tornado touch down about 2 hours ago in the first wave of storms.
