Weather Warning.

Nigel !! should we start liquoring up the St Bernards and send them on route mate!? ..

Oh, please do so In fact those St Bernards are welcome here anytime, any weather!

It is finally winding down to a few flurries. Reagan National (KDCA) got 16 inches, but out where I live it is more like 22 inches. Anyway it ranks as the 6th largest snow storm in Washington since records have been kept.

I postponed digging out until tommorow when the sun may peak out - still bloody cold though, although I suppose it would be considered positivly balmy by Coracle's Canadian comparison.

Good show! I am all safe and sound - thanks for your concern. Cleaned the driveway that took ages. I worked an hour then rested an hour and so on all day. When your an old geezer you have to pace yourself. One thing is certain, I won't be on the roof like the brave soul in that picture you linked! I maybe stupid, but I am not dumb. (a local university basketball coach actually said that during an on-air interview) 10 points and extra green stamps if anyone can name the coach.

Yes, I can rub some ointment on brouno. I am thinking of some Ben Gay for myself, but don't know if that is suitable for a St Bernard. I will ask him when he arrives if he is sober enough.

Gary, hope you have your suntan lotion on! Otherwise you may be called on to substitute for on Friday

Nigel, good to hear your still powered up.
I wouldn't have been on a roof in that condition myself , but thats a lot of weight on the roof and they have been known to collapes under the stress.

funny thing , I went to the memorial for our friend Larry who passed in the plane crash..
A lady there on the airport has 2 and had them in the golf cart ... believe that? I haven't seen a bernard in a -- long time . and there they were

Yes, a house in Georgetown had a collapsed roof because of the storm. It was being refurbished and fortunatly no one was home. Our power lines are underground but less than a mile away thy are above ground so we sometimes loose power during storms. When Hurricane Isabel came through in 2003, we lost power for about 15 hours. We were lucky; some people here had no power for several days and in rural areas of Virginia, several weeks!
