We ended up here with 25” now the temp is plummeting to -10 F. I’m thankful the power stayed on and hopefully continues. I am however stuck as the car is buried. Still waiting for plow truck.
Ha,ha-I remember a storm we had when we lived on the north shore{Boston} We couldn't even open the upstair's door, we were snowed in over the second story door. So we said garage door! ran down and and hit the button and we were faced with a complete wall of snow. FUNNN!
Still praying for all. You certainly all seem well able to handle all this. If fills me full of hope for the days I might have to struggle with things myself. I don't want to be depressing but is there another big storm heading in next weekend? https://www.foxweather.com/live-new...storm-cuts-power-to-thousands#google_vignette
If you can, definitely I keep the car dug out. Inches are better than feet to clear away plus ice. I remember well the storms of the late 70s in Michigan!!
Not really, Padraig. There will be the usual average storms, nothing big. It was interesting to see that Lake Erie is close to freezing over. We will continue to have temperatures this week 20 degrees below freezing, so I'm sure Erie, as the most shallow of the Great Lakes will be a sheet of frozen ice by week's end.
It's always easier when it is a normal part of winter. Of course, our point of reference is always the Tug Hill Plateau which is 10 miles east of us. We have received about 10 feet of snow so far this winter; they are at 15 feet! Great for the snow-mobilers! Everything is a matter of perspective!
Actually the weather seems to have taken a turn for the worst all over the place at the moment. I think this is why: It reminds me of the Fatima Prophecy. Do you recall? The angel with the spear piercing the Earth? The sun?
Actually, a nor-easter is on the way. It'supposed to just skirt us in Ct. I don't know how eastern Ma. and the cape and Jo M, are supposed to get hit.
After the reality of what everyone has been through, I had the one of the biggest scares of my driving career this evening. On Tuesday nights I relive the 8-9 adorer and pray until 10, closing with Benediction if another adorer is present. It's 10 miles and usually takes 13 minutes until I enter the church. But the further I went tonight the more intense was the lake effect. I didn't relieve Mark Norton until 9:15, prayed for 10 minutes before our Eucharistic King and closed up "shop" since everyone was smart enough not to come out in the midst of this storm. But on my trip back, I really could see no more than 1oo yards in front of me going about 10 mph. I could keep on the road by eyeing the snow bank on my right, but it was a little nerve-wrecking. I kept thinking, "Where is the stop sign at the second intersection on 104?" before seeing the stoplight located a further 2 miles east. I guess I never saw that red sign. Anyway, from there I proceeded home and made the last 5 miles in about 12 minutes. So I followed the excitement of y'all and enjoyed my own personal 1 hour "nor'easter"!
Thank God for keeping you safe Terry. I am sure that going to Adoration and doing your duty put you under special protection. You remind me to pray to my Guardian Angel for protection. I am doing a Four and a half journey to Fatima in Portugal later on in the month. So exciting but you remind me to make special prayers before going.
