[wendybtn]

I just realized sitting here now how easy this shoveling is going to be.

See...a few days ago I stumbled upon a diary, online, written in 1847. It is Patrick Breen's diary. Patrick was in the Donner Party !!!. Yeah, yikes. This snow ain't nutin.

Enjoy! I love history!

Here in extreme East Tennessee, it stopped snowing around 5-6pm. We've had about 4-6 inches join the 3-4 inches that were waiting on it from Wednesday! We are on our fourth 'snow day' here. The kids only had school on Tuesday.

Run out of wine?!

No. I stocked up in preparation.

 

[atthelake]

We're at 20" and still coming down.
Travel ban to be lifted at 7 am.


Ok, I've had enough. LOL.

I'm not sure if Websleuths will allow you to change your name to momoffiveboys in September !

:floorlaugh:

Hahaha!!! Not a chance!
My boys were all born in January. FYI. LOL.

No. I stocked up in preparation.

Ummmm ... Glad you have " stocked up". Is that what they're calling it these days?

:floorlaugh:

All done. Just under 30 inches, officially the largest snowfall ever to fall here in one mighty swoop.

JerseyGirl......did you dodge getting flooded? I read this AM that parts of NJ were hit with serious floods as well as that remarkable amount of snow. Hope you're warm and dry.

Winter Storm Jonas: Top Snowfall Totals, Storm Updates
Jan 24 2016

Winter Storm Jonas has moved out to sea, putting an end to the heavy snow that impacted the East Coast as well as parts of the South and Ohio Valley.

At least fourteen people have died in the storm, which has dumped more than 30 inches of snow on parts of five states and brought wind gusts as high as 85 mph along the Atlantic coast. Several major cities reported over 2 feet of snow and many all-time snowfall records have been broken.

Below is a roundup of top reported snow and ice totals and high wind gusts associated with Winter Storm Jonas. Farther down, there is a minute-by-minute breakdown of the storm.

Yesterday I spent part of the day searching for comfort food recipes on the net -- that's what I always want when snowed in.

I found a recipe for baked beans topped with mini marshmallows.

 

[Tulessa]

All done. Just under 30 inches, officially the largest snowfall ever to fall here in one mighty swoop.

Same here. Just shy of 3 feet.

 

[JerseyGirl]

We are fine now, no significant flooding. Most of the flooding was to our south in Cape May County and Wildwood.

The tide here is a little on the high side, we'll see how we make out with the next high tide in a few hours. We are under a coastal flood warning until noon. We did have record winds of 72 mph yesterday, almost hurricane force. That's concerning since we will be raising our home soon and may need to invest in hurricane windows or shutters.

Snow that fell yesterday turned to ice. Luckily, there's plenty of sunshine out there today so that may help melt some of this stuff; there's going to be a lot of sore backs digging our way out of 2 feet of frozen snow.

I found a recipe for baked beans topped with mini marshmallows.

It's all about the comfort food and wine, etc when you're hunkered down and holed in! My favorites when we're snowed in include Chile Verde (Ransom posted a good recipe for this in the recipe section) as well as other soups, anything pasta like mac and cheese, stroganoff or spaghetti, and anything potatoes!

:eat:

And don't forget the meatloaf and mashed potatoes! I'm going to check out that Chile Verde recipe.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of putting marshmallows on baked beans. There was a photo with the recipe, too, like somebody had actually made it. :facepalm:

Just moved my kid into his new apartment in the east village. NYC and Queens are a big mess. Many streets unplowed. Sidwalks unshoveled. Horrible! But, Oh it was a pleasure to be alone on the roads!

And yeah...I'm headed to Grand Cayman in 48 hours! Yay!

. Glad you're dry. You more than paid your storm dues going without power for so long....
