let it snow, let it snow Storm warnings as snow bears down on mid-Atlantic By JOHN RABY, Associated Press Writer John Raby, Associated Press Writer 18 mins ago CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Hardware stores were selling out of rock salt, shovels and other winter supplies as a major storm moved up the Atlantic coast Friday, threatening a heavy coating of wet snow on the last shopping weekend before Christmas. People also stocked up on groceries and other staples as the National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings from the Carolinas to New Jersey. Forecasters expected up to 20 inches of snow through late Saturday in the Washington metro area and the mountains of southern West Virginia and southwest Virginia. Forecasters said it could bring the most snow in the nation's capital since a February 2003 storm dumped nearly 27 inches at Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Up to a foot of snow was forecast in parts of Tennessee, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The storm came from the Gulf and drenched South Florida with rain starting late Thursday, leaving flooded homes and stranded drivers. Water rose knee-deep in downtown Miami and more than a foot in Hollywood, 20 miles to the north. In southern West Virginia, Ron Hart's hardware store had sold out of many supplies after a wind storm last week knocked out electricity for days. On Friday, he was swamped again as customers bought heaters, propane, generator cords and plugs, and insulating tape. "People are having to spend money on bare essentials versus Christmas," Hart said. "Our Christmas sales are considerably down because of what people are having to buy."
In pictures: Europe's cold snap http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/8423251.stm Fresh powder today . Now all we need are hills and we're good to go .
And it's a cool 76 degrees.. ..and absolutely sunny, here, up and down the California coast for Santa to ride the wave.. http://www.ocregister.com/video/?videoId=58121358001&lineupId=1125901233
^^That surfer..^^ ..must've gotten sick of looking at the pile of snow in front of his house, hence he decided to head out to the beach no matter what the temperature is. But lucky for Nova Scotians and Vancouverians as you guys live on the coastal regions. Not so lucky for the Canadiens all bundled up in Canada's inner provinces..Btw, Fidget, that's not you??..
We had snow in Vancouver last week... a teeny, weeny bit of snow. Barely stayed on the ground. No white Christmas for us this year, unlike last. Meanwhile snow is building up nicely at Whistler as we're well under 2 months away from the Winter Olympics
No Chris, it is not. As a wise man once sang: "You don't tug on Superman's cape; you don't spit into the wind; you don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger and you don't [go winter surfing in the bloody North Atlantic] with Jim."
George, Nice photos. That is quite amazing. But for all the footprints in the snow, there isn't a soul in sight. What did you do with all the people?
Perhaps those footprints are from the 'Bigfoot' species? joking.. Maybe its the fans or peoples of course who visit the stadium, walk around the stadium etc while the snow is still falling Btw, do you love snow?
ya, i heard the mid east atlantic states got record snow dumps. Where is a conference for global cooling....
Do you guys know where Emirates Stadium is??.. ..it's in Holloway (London), UK...Amazing in what sense??..
Thanks ctjcad, You've exposed my ignorance. (but at least I know what a fleur-de-lis is, Chris) I assumed that George's pictures were from somewhere in Asia. So there is really nothing amazing about a little snow in London -- --except, perhaps, that snow can actually be white there.
