Careful. Karma might bite you in the ass and cause a freak blizzard in Florida. Or you guys might get an inch or two of snow. You know, just enough to shut down the entire state. :D

It's cool, at least I can take the snow, I,ve been there before :party0030:

Buuuuuuuuuut I doubt it will ever snow here

Make that a few mm ;) For that matter, around here a bit of drizzle has been known to cause major fender benders :bonk:

What's deadly about Sandy is that it's actually multiple storm fronts coming together - hurricane from the south, blizzard(s) from the north. The weather folks are saying they don't even know how to model it because there's nothing like it on record.

On top of the garage? Hope you have a safer place than that. Much as you love your car, your own safety is more important. And it looks like this storm is just getting started. Update from CNN:

Quote:

Hurricane Sandy is moving quickly toward southern New Jersey and is expected to make landfall early this evening with life-threatening storm surge and hurricane-force winds.

At 5 p.m., Sandy had maximum sustained winds of 90 mph and was moving west-northwest at 28 mph, the National Hurricane Center reports. The storm is centered about 30 miles east-southeast of Cape May, New Jersey, and 40 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Tropical-storm-force winds are already being felt from North Carolina to New England.

More than 765,000 power outages have already been reported – most of them in New Jersey and New York.

It's not just the rain and wind that's causing problems. Forecasters expect there could be up to 2 feet of snow tied to this "superstorm." It is already snowing in parts of the Appalachian Mountains. West Virginia has already declared a state of emergency, while North Carolina Gov. Beverly Purdue h as declared a state of emergency for 24 counties in the western part of her state due to snow.

At least someone has the right idea:

Second pine fell over sometime last night. Car came out untouched but I'll post pics later today.

Water raise up enough to hit the car, car starts thought. Going to drive it today to see if everything's okay.

Glad to hear! After the tree went through your house I was afraid another one might go through your garage.

Hope it's fine! Drive extra carefully and remember that gas stations probably don't have power ergo the pumps don't work - so get back home before you run out :)
