BBC is reporting US east coast getting a bit of a hammering today. Stay safe over there.

It's as high as a Corgi's eye. MUCH higher in drifts. And windy. And cold. Even the Great Pyrenees doesn't want to stay out long.

Heaviest snowfall for this winter now, 20-40cm during the weekend and more to come

Winds were pretty bad here, 80mph+ lot power for 15 hours yesterday, a lot of folk still off grid...

For snow and ice, good old studded Nokia Bogtrotters are hard to beat. Now branded "Nokian" as Nokia ditched the rubber good business. The studs are replaceable, which is very neat.

Well, it's been snowing lately...

In the meantime Eunice is raging over Belgium also. The heaviest storm since decades say the gouverment so the country shuts down and duck for cover...

Power went out at 17:30. Will be off at least 24 hours. Luckily you can get drunk by candle light

 

[billshurv]

Make that at least 72 hours. Decamping to family tomorrow

That's why we got a nat-gas generator. In the past quarter century our electric would go out for days at a time, one time it was 10 days. The reason we got a fixed installation -- they had gas rationing during one of the extended power outages and had to drive to Pennsylvania to fill up 5 gallon jerry-jugs. (Adjacent area to us (Maplewood NJ) was electrified by Thomas Edison himself, so it was DC! and only AC after WW-I.)

Oh, snowing here in NJ.

To be fair this is only the second significant power cut in 10 years here. The other one was 6 weeks ago

Where are you located, Bill? My daughter lives in Muswell Hill, London and a woman died in a car there when a tree fell over...

Berkshire. In general not badly hit and our power went off as the storm warning ended. Neighbour got a video of the power line sparking as it hit the ground (11kv)

We had quiet a few dead here in Belium. One guy in Gent was hit by a flying solar panel, an other was blown of a ship in Ieper and drowned, and a few others were heavy wounded by falling trees, cars and trucks blown of the road and so. And litterally thousands of buildings had damage (+3000 alone in the coastal province said the news). And in the Netherlands and northern Germany it was not better...

And the good news is, tonight there is a new storm comming with similar wind speeds...

Bill hope your power is back! Just -43C here this morning with -39.5 last thurs , but at least the power never seems to go out long in the winter and it is extremely rare to do so here in the winter.
