Yikes! New England Storms Part II

[3113]

Will this horror never end!?

A winter storm that shut down much of the South churned up the coast Wednesday, dumping snow across the Northeast and saving its most brutal punch for New England, where hundreds of cars spun out and schools and businesses shut down.

Armies of plows and salt spreaders hit streets across the region to stem chaos during Wednesday morning's commute. In Connecticut, where more than 2 feet of snow had fallen in some places and it was still coming down, state police responded to about 500 spinouts, fender-benders and stranded vehicles. Four minor injuries were reported.

New Englanders, I'm sorry to say that we, here, at the Author's Hangout Rescue Center...are tapped out. No hot cocoa, no more brandy or even moonshine. We can send you a few bags of Lipton tea and our one remaining rescue dog...Stud:

I'd like to say he'll try his best to help you out but I just don't know. Good luck, and god bless.

One look at "Stud" and think we all know where the Brandy and Moonshine went.

Just send SALT! I'll use it on the rim of my margarita glass and dig out in the spring.

There is but one state in the Union that does not have snow on the ground. Even Hawai'i has snow ( atop Mauna Kea ).

Winter Storm Warning Posted for Hawaii as Most of U.S. Sees Snow
By Brian K. Sullivan

Jan. 12 (Bloomberg) -- While the U.S. Northeast digs out from under a blizzard, peaks on the big island of Hawaii are expected to receive about a foot of snow, the National Weather Service reported.

Snow was on the ground today in every U.S. state except Florida,...

... Snow in most U.S. states is an unusual event, said Andy Mussoline, a meteorologist with AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania.

“Interestingly, that occurred just last year,” he said. “I’m not sure in a historical perspective how unusual it is, but certainly it’s not commonplace.”

It's okay. While I could do with a hot cup of cocoa, we're pretty used to snow up here and don't let it phase us much. Close to 2 feet on the ground right now and still coming down. Not a dry mitten in the house right now!

Mercifully, it's all turned to rain round here.
