Weather channel just said 10-15" for KC. Wut?

They're now saying it could be an icestorm where i'm at now... **** me!

I can deal with all the snow in siberia, but this towns power grid crumbles into dust like a worn out lightbulb filament at the slightest friggin sign of ice... its uncanny, every freaking time the power goes out.

I guess I should make a Merlot run!

wait ... say what!?

They're saying the storm is tracking more south at this point, 12-14 in KC.

Oh shit.....

what's "winter"?

**** YES!

(pumps fist in air)

Take it for what it's worth, the wife heard it and I just caught the end of it.

God I love this!!! We have our governance board in town this week.. Woot, they'll all leave early! I am SOOOOOO going to play-this-up tomorrow...

Ask the wife if that was from Katie Horner. If so, disregard the Foamy Katie Horner message.

Guess ill be working from home those days.

I'm on vacation. I give exactly zero ****s about how much it snows.

I can handle the snow, but **** me if the power goes.

Same here.

I work from home and we have plenty of food and stuff. We were stranded out here for 4 days in mid January.

Luckily we have a gas fireplace so if the power goes out, we can stay warm. However, if it's out for more than 8 hours or so, I will start losing fish...

This.

You'll have to get out for food sometime.

If we run out of food, I'll just eat my wife.



Waaayyyyyy ooooooooo

If you have a large fish tank on a stand, you can place a candle, (or use 2 if larger than 55g), inside the stand and close the doors, (if there are any). Our power was out for quite some time and that helped keep the water warm.

I'm sick of hearing about it.

Snow.

They'll hold temperature for a lot longer than 8 hours, that's not the issue.

They're planted - when the lights go off, the plants stop photosynthesizing and start giving off CO2.

With the power off, there's no surface agitation and eventually the fish start to suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

The temp in mine was dropping too rapidly, which is why I suggested the use of candles, (I didn't know if you had ever tried that before). :)

None of my tanks are heavily planted anymore, (and no CO2). What would be your suggestion regarding surface agitation? I think that our power was out for 6 hours max and I didn't really do anything about that.

The temp shouldn't drop much at all over the first few hours since there's no circulation or surface agitation. My 55G could go without heat for 12-14 hours and only drop a few degrees. That being said, the area of the house where they are isn't gonna drop much below 68 given its proximity to the fireplace.

I've considered getting battery-powered air pumps but they've been out of stock everywhere and I haven't gotten around to ordering them online.

Other than that, I don't really know what else to do.

And if you don't have a lot of plants, temperature would probably be a bigger problem for you anyway.

The temp in my 55g was dropping a few degrees every hour before I added the candle. Of course, it's located against an exterior wall, (sort of, our garage is on the other side of the wall). My other 2 tanks are small and the temps didn't fluctuate too much.

I would probably look into getting battery-powered air pumps, but I plan on selling the tanks soon.

We have a fireplace, but it's electric. A lot of good that does when you lose power, huh? LMAO

It's this thing that drives hoardes of pasty white people to your state during this time of the year.

Considering I drive a Corolla and work overnight, I might see if they will let me work from home for this thing. Last thing I need is to be stuck at work after my shift ends because I can't get home.

LMAO They named this storm Q? LMAO

Statred to snow

What city?

Snow is fine.
Ice is not.

we're all going to die.

This guy is one of my favorite weather forecasters, Jim Kosek. He's in Salt Lake City now, but this is from when he was in Baltimore. They ended up getting 30 inches of snow from this storm, so his forecast was on the light side:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kpxiCxO5k0g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Forecast keeps getting worse. I've already decided that I won't be going to the office tomorrow and that my internet will be out.

I'm thinking about buying a generator to be safe, but those damn things aren't cheap so I'm torn on making the gamble to get one or not. It's damn cold to be losing heat.

Looking at the radar right now, it doesn't look like a Holy Shit kinda storm.

18"-24" predicted in the Topeka area through Thursday.

Seriously?

the only thing I'm doing is getting a few bundles of firewood, and some fruit and other food that doesn't need to be heated or refirdgerated etc.

.

I'm taking a personal day tomorrow. My wife is a teacher, so she'll get a snow day. I hope she corrects my mistakes and makes me do it right....

Im suppose to have a class for work and the teacher is stationed out of philadelphia. They better let us do this shit from home tomorrow.

Yes, black cock gangbang 2013.

Link? Because I just saw on 3 different weather places, where they now are saying just 8-12 in Topeka.

Saw it on the weather channel when I was getting some chili for lunch at a nearby bar.

Keep in mind - this is through Friday.

And CatDaddy just posted a picture on the previous page with projected snowfall amounts.

Yep..just saw CatDaddy pic...You need to look at it more closely...That 18-24 is for places around Hays...NOT Topeka.

Pants have been shat. Not sure what else to do.

Yeah, just saw it briefly at the bar.

Looks close to the Topeka area.

We'll probably end up with a trace to 2".

That's usually how all of this works.

Don't sweat it bro. The school bus will still be by to pick you up.

Short buses get around in the snow quite well.

USD 501 in topeka has already cancelled classes tomorrow. The last time they cancelled school this early, nothing happened and it was a wasted day. They were predicting several inches of snow then too. LMAO

The storm is over Arizona right now. Not the disturbance blowing over the plains. That's just a precursor.

There will be a baby boom of Chiefs fan born on Turkey Day 2013 ROFL

One inch projected in St. Louie and the freakouts have begun. Ice may be a bitch though.

i made the trip to walmart today, and it was the strangest walmart experience i've had in a long time. the parking lot was packed and i was fearing a near christmas type trip, but when i got inside, every person i came across was polite. there were smiles and they said "excuse me" and stuff like that. it was bizzaro walmart.

True. I'm all electric so as long as we keep power I'm good.


Been kicking around getting a generator for years. My dumbass should have.

on the plus side I have a motor to put in tomorrow so we pushed the vehicle in tonight before leaving so I'm making money tomorrow as long as there is power. I only live a block or so from the shop I can ****ing walk if I have to. Lol

I also packed the shop with every other car I could so they will be dry in the morning. Raised the lifts with cars on them and put cars under them. Got nine cars in the shop and two in the alignment bay lol.

I'm working

Let those pipes freeze more money for you!

Pipes? lol billay.

I put them in there so they don't get covered in snow.

#1 I don't have to clean them off.

#2 they don't drip on me the whole time I'm working on them lol.


And we stayed close to you Saturday. Where were you? We closed down the p &l
Posted via Mobile Device

McDonalds and Pizza Hut closed today. Roads are slick as hell.

Where are you at?

What part of Kansas are you in?

I'm in Bob Dole country

I always thought your name was Jason Sauto.


Glad to clear things up.

ROFL

I'm sitting in the basement, below the register, heat is blowing directly on me and... I'M SHIVERING!!

I hate Winter!! :cuss:

April will be here soon.

Nice where'd you stay at? Friday I went drinking in Westport Friday & Saturday I went to dinner out in OP. Hit me up next time you're out here man let's get some drinks.

remember the snow fall to beer ratio if you are preparing

1 beer per inch of predicted snow

We are supposed to get 4" here. Won't even phase us. Just enough to get out the snow blower.

I have been in the cities for 12 years. 1 snow day.


Happy snow everyone from the North.

our office closed tomorrow. that NEVER happens. I told the carpenters they could come in if they wanted or stay home.

Boss told everyone to stay home if needed, I have a 20 mile commute both ways. I will try to go if the shit hasn't totally hit the fan by 7am.

Schools are closed.

I'm sitting in the basement, next to the woodstove that is packed full of walnut and oak and...I think I need to open a window, it's ****ing hot in here.

schools are closed here. I already loaded the gun in case I need to kill everybody before we freeze to death.

Why must you always brag about your woodstove?

Just so you know, we have an electric fireplace down here with fake flames... and shit. So there. :harumph:

coming over now

:spock: Electric? How the **** does that work? I've never seen electric flames.

Bring BBQ.

I'm guessing you plug it in.

That would be a space heater.
