We have a State Of Emergecy
 

This is insane. Just woke up to over 18 inches of snow outside. I got woken up by my neigherbor pounding on my door, to tell me we were all locked inside. (I Live In A Condo) The door downstairs is frozen shut. I tried deicer and a hammer, and still couldn't get it open LOL. A couple people that heard us banging came out and when they found out we were all locked in, they started panicing and said to call 911. Crazy.

News said it's a "level 3" and they just issued a State Of Emergecy, which means no vehicles are allowed on the roads except for emergecy vehicles. I've lived here for 23 years and have never seen a snow storm this bad.

Here's pics from yesterday.. I'll post some from today when I can get out of my house LOL

Good luck man and just go out the window...and for the door a hair dryer might work...

ahhh I love Hawaii..

holy crap! i cant DRIVE for shit in the snow!! almost hit some one last week ..

i don't have the approval to see the pics? super user snooper user ..lol

wtf? that sucks, haha

There is no window to go out LOL. Also, I thought about the hairdryer thing, but there isnt a outlet close enough, and I don't have a long enough extension cord.

I'm watching the news, they say that %70 of a county above me is without power.

They keep saying on tv "It's against the law to drive on the roads right now, if caught, you can be arrested"

Insane...

you guys better not be hogging up all the snow. send some over to PA here.

yeah man send some snow this way for xmas...

being arrested for driving in the snow? hah

what cop would want to pull you over and then get out of his warm police car and actually give you a ticket?

No offense but ....yyyeeaahhhh... that midwest storm should be just the ticket to keep some of the in-laws from making this stupid last minute trip down here for x-mas! Four less people to deal with!

Stay safe... and stay warm :upsidedow

Well according to the news, they are doing it.

awesome weather for christmas, in warsaw we have less than 1 inch of snow :sadcrying

I have more than that stuck to my balcony window.

me either :s

Snowed in here too in Kentucky... We have already canceled the annual Christmas thing at grandmas lol

Freaky shit. Too bad we never have snow like that over here :smilie_we

:smokin I love south Florida.

Shorts, t-shirt and sandals today for me :) :Kissmy

I know it is crazy! I tried going down to Cinci last night, and I was gone for 3+ hours, and didn't even get to the highway! I got stuck three times, my car is still stuck in the middle of the parking lot...LOL...this is too much snow!

What state do you live in??

Great pics...

I wish we had snow here in Brazil....

:(

It was funny because I was just in Green Bay for the last couple of days and they had minimal snow and the roads were actually BARE, but yet there were cars going off the road everywhere, it was crazy.

I guess it was their first real snowfall of the year which is always the worst, but when the roads are bare, that's just stupid.

im almost out of big k, gonna be a fun drive... if the stores even open... oh ill be soo pissed if i drive all the way there and their closed :Grrrrrr

pics arent working for me

but that does sound scary :Hollering

No windows? Weird. In any case, I would suggest you prep for losing power. Might not happen but if it does you could be in a bind. For example, find your flashlights, batteries, candles and matches. Even with a gas furnace, if it uses electric blowers, you could be without heat. Do you have other gas appliances that could provide heat in a pinch, e.g. a gas stove? If you do lose heat, remember to keep some water running so your pipes don't freeze.

If the door that's frozen shut is a metal storm door, heat should conduct through it pretty well, and one way of transferring heat to it (since a hair dryer is out) would be to boil pots of water, slowly pour around the frozen sections, mop up the poured water, and repeat.

Good luck!

Yeah, it sucks here too! Freak'n 73 degrees but it's raining! :sadcrying

It's nice here... only problem is it sure doesn't feel like christmas.

Does anyone?

I woke up to yet another beautiful day here in AZ :)

The pics show fine for me.

it snowed here in cleveland then this morning it THUNDERSTOMRED, it was raining ice all morning & froze over the streets like a blanket of ice,...crazy shit :BangBang:

You got 18 inches of snow over night?
Damn that sucks, sorry to hear

Do what every other person in Ohio does during a snow storm. Stay inside and wrestle chairs.

:action-sm

Isn't much else I can do.

Told you, you need to relocate...come out here and help us make our Sandmen out of the beautiful dust flakes that are falling as I type.

But that aint snow, thats just a little slush on the streets :)

I have literally had 13 ft snow drifts covering my front door..

We have rain here in NY!!

It's not helping the skiing situation.

Now thats some snow :)

Having been in a bunch of storms like that myself, I think they're fun to watch IF you don't have to go anywhere, are warm, and have plenty of food and other necessities.

Ahh... ya, just got home from the big island last night.

Newport Beach, CA isnt too shabby these days either! :Graucho

id stay indoors and play CS all day with a cup of Hot choco
keeping me busy :food-smil

i love snow, but damn this -15 with windchill right now sucks.

65 degrees and not a cloud in the sky here in NorCal

:weihnacht

man, people from warmer climates always pacick in snow. we get that shit all the time and people go for drives in it for recreation.

hmmm
 

you should save your 911 calls for REAL emergencies. being locked in a house with heat/elctricity/food and running water hardly seems to be 911 worthy when the switchboards are overloaded with real calls.

I didn't call 911, the crazy neighbors were mentioning it. Did you even read my post?

Those pics were from yesterday, before the big storm even hit..

I took this about a hour ago
