Help
I have been reading about this with alarm and concern for our Mouthfuls members in the area. I hope everyone is safe and unharmed.
With hundreds of thousands without power, maybe you can't reply at the moment, but please do check in when you can. Good wishes to all!
Mid-Atlantic Coast Blizzard Hope everyone is okay!

the snow is winding down in my area (central jersey). As usually at the time of any big snowstorm husband is out of country: fortunately neighborhood kids cleaned my driveway... The only problem i have at the moment that Cherry can't poop - snow is everywhere...

Thanks for the kind thoughts, and I hope those who are in harder-hit areas than I are doing okay.
There are dark tales of power outages very nearby, and I have my fingers crossed. So far, so good.
But it's ugly and February-like.
I'm thinking of making a cheese souffle but all I have is jalapeno jack.

wow, that's a tremendous amount of snow. we have nothing at all, and we're only 50 - 60 miles from you. woke up this morning, and expected to see massive drifts. white "dust" swirling in the driveway was all.
My only complaint was that if they need to charge me $30 because they're robbing the duck to pay the boar they might as well give me a more substantial portion of flour, water, and bits of meat.

Honestly, it was like a Mason-Dixon line went through Matawan. Incredible differences. Lex in Bklyn reports something like 3 inches.
All in all, I'd rather not be in Philadelphia.

i'm probably 15-20 miles SW from Deb. That's what we got.

I am hearing DC and Baltimore are hardest-hit. We have members there, don't we? I'm glad to hear you guys are weathering the storm. I've been through blizzards of this type on the East Coast, and I know that after a certain point they're no fun.

“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

Here in my part of Jersey, 8 miles NW of the Lincoln tunnel, we got nothing. Not even a dusting. Absolutely nothing.
Snow lines are really weird. I remember flying to St. Louis last winter over clear ground & then suddenly, somewhere over Indiana, there was a blanket of white stretching north & south to both horizons. The line of demarcation was so obvious it looked artificial.
It was hard to avoid the feeling that somebody, somewhere, was missing the point. I couldn't even be sure that it wasn't me. - Douglas Adams

Nothing at all in Lower Manhattan. I feel a little cheated.
Then again, I really don't want to go through what we did back in December with all that snow and horrible ice blowing in our faces.
On the news this morning they were saying two feet for Washington. We had something like that when we lived there in the late 1970s. Our Fiat Spyder disappeared for a week, maybe more.
Warm melting thoughts to those with driveways and sidewalks to shovel.

Nor in my part, aside from a faint dusting this morning.

Barely a dusting here in far west Chelsea. Windy as hell though.

Rub it in, why don't ya............I've been stuck in the house watching TV all day, Food Network, the Animal Channel, some downloads from a down-low movie website and munching on PB&J sammies all day 'cuz I'm too lazy and pouty to cook. But I do have all the stuff required for my meat-intense frittata.
We got, it looks like, at least a foot and a half on my block. It's the quiet that gets me. No one, I mean no one has been out on my block all damn day. My main concern is how this storm is gonna screw with my commute to work on Monday...SEPTA is usually shitty enough on its own when it comes to dependability, they don't need assistance from Mother Nature.
