Snow ??

Those are two of my picks also. Die Hard 2 is another good winter storm movie. They filmed the exterior scenes under harsh conditions in Denver.

The interesting thing about the Shining is, almost nothing was really filmed in the snow. The topiary maze was done in the studio and the snow was rock salt. They said it was really unpleasant to work in there and all the cameras and equipment rusted. Great movie though!

It is snowing like crazy here now. NWS is forecasting another 14-20 inches tonight and 1 or 2 inches tomorrow. Here are some spotter reports from earlier today - this is going to be quite the storm! http://forecast.weather.gov/product...HI&product=PNS&format=CI&version=1&glossary=0

Another 12-24" forecasted for us. We're in that little dark blue spot on the coast :jeffd: It's coming down gangbusters now.

My picnic table. It is insane here in Bamber.

Whoa, Bob! That's a lotta snow! Surely a few more inches than we have in Trenton. That looks like more than 12". We probably have 8 so far, but it's still coming down!

I now have 18". And colder beer.

Just heard on channel 6 that we (Tabernacle) are holding the record now at 21"

I like the beer method of measuring your snow. That would last me an hour, but in the mean time I would have another 6 in the snow.

My backyard in Browns Mills. Now I'm going to fill my stomach with scrapple and eggs and start shoveling.

Tom, don't forget carbohydrates! Protein alone will slog you down.

My total is 21 inches. I don't see how Philly can claim 23.5 in the city and 12 to 19 all around them. Like Medford, the lake or bay effect? Maybe its just the drifting where its measured at the airport? This is dubious. James, get out your measuring stick.

I made it out the door and to the street.....measurements range from 18" to 21".
Here is the first view I saw out my back door this morning....

make it out to the street....look north

look south.....

check out the glacier blue hole created by my measuring stick....

and last but not least.....

I will have some coffee....figure out how to get to Tom's house for scrapple and eggs.... and get to shoveling here as well. Hope to get into the woods by afternoon! Enjoy everyone.

Bob, Looks like we carb up the same way! Actually those carbs are for watching the snow fall in the evening, I hope the toast and the cornmeal in the scrapple are sufficent.

Turtle, To find my house while I'm cooking, just drive to Browns Mills and listen for my smoke detector! I like a nice crust on my scrapple.

All done playing with the snow now. I'm curious about the ranking of members! How long do I have to be a newbie? I'd rather be a Piney or a Scout. What's the progression go like. Do I have to post better pictures or something? Newbie sounds so unlike me. I want a promotion, please!

For the miserly fee of $49.95, I can put the word in for you

There already is a "King of the Pines" member on this site so you can never get that name

Anyway, you are only a few short posts away from no longer being a Newbie. And just so you know there are a few members who have visited this site every day from the beginning and are still a Newbie, so there is no shame in being one. At least one of them contributes to this site in other ways, and I for one appreciate all they have done.
