I lived in Prince Georges County for 7 1/2 years of my AF career. They don't have the snow clearing capability for the amount of the streets there for large storms. It will take weeks to get most of the burbs open again. The majority of the population knows this and so clean out all the food before a big storm.

Also, they get at least one big storm every winter. High pressure systems will stall just off coast and cause a strong low pressure system to rotate back west after picking up moisture from the ocean and dump and dump and dump until the high pressure system moves out of the way.

Movement comes to a standstill. Ironically enough, the worst storm I went through while there was the only time I ever saw neighbors helping each other out. We got 2 feet in 3 days with that one. Biggest danger is all the trees. The snow snaps limbs and knocks down the power lines.

I will say the last one like that for me was when I lived in Denver in 86-87? I think the largest I have seen at My place here in the Springs was about 15"

Big deal,, I walked home, about 2 miles in the blizzard of '82.. And yes,, some of it was uphill.

OK, so they're getting some snow. This is one of the reasons that I like to have a couple week's worth of food around. It took me a couple years to make my wife (who grew up going to the store every day or two) understand that to me, a couple week's worth was rock bottom. After a snowstorm or two where we didn't have to go to the store as the mess was underway, she got it. When I was deployed for the war in '03 and we had the big blizzard, she had plenty in the house for the three days she was snowed in. What's that old saying, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure? LET IT SNOW, BABY!

(Preferably on a Monday night or early Tuesday!)

taught my fiance the same thing.

currently I want to get a generator though so in case the power goes out as well we can run a few items. we have some propane powered stuff in the basement, but not enough to really keep things going for a good week....guess I need to go to wal-mart....or I could just bring the grill inside

Keep a bit of food in the basement, just got the genny cutover installed with the new service panel. No more extension cords! Fridge, deep freeze, furnace, and exterior lights all on backup if needed. Also have the gas fireplace - just need more ammo.
