[Riverwind]

Excuse me Moi, don't judge what goes on in Russia with what you know of Southern California, unless you have lived in St Petersburg how do you know?

Ah? Does a Russky wife, inlaws and more distant family from the area, count?
River, did YOU know the last couple of winters have been so mild and dry that the joke was they needed a Napoleon or Hitler to bring back winter.
This winter may be the end of a relative drought as lowered some rivers.
When the Russians were in America they were amazed at how volatile our weather is. They see the news of tornadoes, hurricanes, and destructive storms in America. Oh yes, and earthquakes.
Does that cover my credentials for "What does Moi Know Of St. Petersberg (Petrograd) weather?
Thank You RIVER, You are excused per your request, listen to the whole link now.

unless you are a traditionalist and miss the days of the cold war when at least there was order to world terrorism, kind of like the difference between organized and disorganized crime.

I got electric back on two days ago and today, the phone and TV and cable modem. I had to throw out everything in my refrigerator and restock it.
But, no pipes froze and nothing collapsed.

Hey, Dave
Looks like among all EA Nation you got this one too
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_northeast_storm
Still south of Ernie-land and sparing Dixieland this time.
How's it going ?
Hope you are all managing okay.
I hate being without electricity. Pondered the ultimate pig act of
putting in a natural gas powered electric generator for times of
electricity failure because the gas always works.
Good Luck frozen members.

Our currently blizzardest members probably can't get online.
Seem the storm track moved a tad north as it dumped snow.
Old folks say it is like the old days before the current, littlest warm up.
which may be remembered in future history as preceding the tiniest chill down.

Remember decades from now, you read it from Moi, first.

All these storms that started in California and moved to the east coast have missed us, we have not gotten but about a 1/10 of an inch of snow this month. Now it has been a little on the cool side, it was -10 this morning but next week were going to be in a spring warming trend it should get up to the mid 30's, maybe. I guess its time to start planing my garden as spring is just around the corner.

We now have classic Saint-Petersburg weather... +1C, almost 100% humidity and mist.
Looking from the window... it this amount of snow will thaw at once... Okay, let's not think of bad things.

PS. We have fiber optic to the appartment buildings and six competing providers, so we can get online .

[streetglide]

You're right I couldn't get online...no power! I wasn't so sure about plugging the computer into the generator, so I didn't.
We really didn't get much snow, and I really can't tell you how much we actually got...IT BLEW EVERYWHERE!!!!! Wind gusts up to 60mph!!!
Several inches of light snow with wind like that made yet another mess! The road drifted shut, the power went out about 8AM, it wasn't terribly cold but the wind just took your breath.
It snowed another inch overnight, but the wind is gone.
I'm REALLY ready for spring!!! Oh and to make matters worse my Mom and Stepdad are in St. Thomas...on the beach!!!

If I understand the predictions, correctly, -
there is a lot of rain headed toward the same areas where
they had no place left to stack the snow.
RAIN coming to them as to melt their snow and then some flooding too.
Add it up. Melting snow plus up to ten inches of rain, all very quickly.
Storms that bypassed So. Califo-nia seemed to have come back
on the southerly path as if they blessed So. Califo-nia too.
Do you blizzardest members have floating cars too?
More importantly, do you float?
Stay in touch as you can.

The floods have limited their online time.

[moi621]

From Califo-nia, it looks like our previous Blizzarded members,
are now wadding in rain water.
Baltimore area, New Jersey (hope Bob3 ain't on the first floor),
Rhode Island a disaster area. Well It is smaller then Mac Wolf's
country of San B. So it really shouldn't count even if they get two
Senators.
How is it going in the flood zone EA Brothers, Sisters and "choose not to answer"-s ?
Please, share

Minnesota next door is getting a little flooding but nothing to make national news, we are high and dry, I am working in my yard to get planting ready for next month, yes MAY. I have already started flowers and vegi's in the house in readiness for that day when they can go into the ground. It was in the 70's yesterday and today will be the same, the trees are in bloom, life is good.

And best of all Rupert is out on the hunt, he really hates winter.
