Hey, Blizzard Members. Can You Get Online?

Hey, what's the difference between a blizzard and a snow storm?
Is it like the difference between a thunderstorm and a hurricane?

A blizzard is defined by significantly reduced visibility in a heavy snowstorm, usually caused by very high winds.

[Riverwind]

The first time your in one, you will fully understand the difference.

Its like the wind chill factor, I can explain it but until you do it has no meaning.

Snowstorm: Snow falls vertically.
Blizzard: Snow goes horizontally.
Whiteout: Snow goes up, down, and all around as it switches from side to side, twists and turns dancing deliriously and finally winds up into your nostrils and on into your head and in the springtime when they find you, you could be d...

Weathermen should have their entrail burned in front of their eyes and the coals shoved up some delicate part of their anatomy.

It took me 45 minutes to shop this morning and 90 minutes to check out. The weathermen have scared everyone into thinking they will starve in two days if they don't buy that essential potato chip or dog food or (heavens to Betsy) toilet paper.

Honest to everything holy, there was a man in line with kleenex, dog food, peanut butter, oranges, denture cleaner and sodapop. WTF?

I had meat for a week, chicken, pork, three different types of potatoes, celery, carrots, onions and breakfast cereal, lunch meat and lots of bread.

Buy food when the weather gets bad, fools...

Dave, my son and I were talking about this very thing about an hour ago. I said its like the time we had a toilet paper shortage, remember that?

There was a paper shortage on the paper they used to wrap new paper rolls with and on the Johnny Carson show he said its a good thing that's not TP and caused a nation wide shortage of TP. Good Grief People waiting in line to buy snow shovels, buying all the milk and meat they can carry, me I hope some of there meat and milk rot because the six weeks supply will go bad before they drink in in the next 3 days before they can go to the market again.

Dave, people are for the most part stupid.

Last night, Friday night, the power went out and the storm came. Instead of the 5 to 8 inches for my area, 24 inches of snow fell knocking power out everywhere and I had to call my brother today so he could pick me up. We close up the house without heat and took all my groceries up to my Mothers.

I'm on a modem and not the cable box.

They say the power might be restored next week like about Friday.

I'm not a happy camper.

Panic is good for business!

The NBC news says two storms are going to combine and hit you peoples again the same. Like the winter of 1910. And you remember all that pre-World War 1 global warming.
Please, those of the Blizzard persuasion, upload your location with your
storm inconvenience. Saves a trip to profile. Thank You.

A blizzard is defined by significantly reduced visibility in a heavy snowstorm, usually caused by very high winds.

You can actually have a blizzard (often further identified as a ground blizzard) without any actual snow falling, when the wind blows snow already on the ground. I have driven across Wyoming mid winter when the visibility was virtually nil, blowing snow and howling wind, and topped a rise into totally clear sunny weather above, only to go back into the blizzard as I went down the other side.

Dave I feel for you, not fun.

Here in Western Wisconsin on the St Croix river we have had snow, a few inches, ice just enough to cover the ground again, more snow expected.

Here is one for you, I use an antenna for my house, when we had anaglog TV in bad weather it would get a little snow, but now we have the new and improved digital TV so now I don't get any TV. I am glad the Super Bowl is on CBS that's one of the stations I get, if it was FOX or NBC I would need to go to a sports bar, Sports Bar to watch the Super Bowl, hmmmmmm.

Winter is winter as winter should be as a winter though not causing any damage to the services...

For the lucky ones who can experience all 4 regular seasons, it is really nice to feel the refreshing cold winds through your face, playing snoe balls and just enjoy the regular winter withour mourning...

Thnx God, we have some snow this year here in Istanbul (which I dont know why shocked some board member as how come snow in Istanbul) but we really enjoy it not to mention the traffic of course at the rush hour within the city

But anyhow it worths seeing the city cover with lovely white now... At least I prefer to have snow in winter rather than having blossoming trees

Greetings from Istanbul

You never need to apologize for wording mistakes, I as with many of our members are English challenged for one reason or another.

Has Streetglide been the blizzardiest EA member these last few weeks?
If we had a EA membership map, who would be the most blizzarded on member?
Not Moi
