I had fresh cold water by the ton and scared the 5 work crews half to death when they came of invited rest, and discovered my place was around 80 degrees inside.

It gets that way on the wood stove inside when you make coffee and real donuts 24 hours a day.

While people like you whined about losses of food because they had no power, I just dumped out metal file cabinets of papers and filled them with ICE and the food we bought by natural cause the day before that storm. Ice was everywhere and free for the taking.......

I feel bad for you lefties that have 0 imagination...

I played with work crews mostly pulling them out, and or pushed off trees that fell in the road hour after hour and why I even made sure some lefties had heat food and water, the poor souls.

It's surprising people like you would consider to vote Obama as he is soon to be taking your electricity away for a new and better 3rd world..... If power is important to your life style you want Mitt.
Very few of us are survivalists who live out in the woods and kill something for dinner every night.

Great plan! Obama, getting smaller and smaller by the week, will be trumpeting Romney's poor choice of neckties by Nov. 29th as a major campaign issue. And with the slide in the national polls allowed to go another four weeks, it could lead to a historic thrashing--on the scale of Walter Mondale or Michael Dukakis.

Oh well a moose will feed a few people a little more than a night.... I know I like moose a lot better than I like green paper..... In fact I like moose a lot better than anything made of paper at all....

I tend to like real things paper only mentions if you read what ever language is printed on the paper.

It's the difference of wondering what a problem is and looking it up, or knowing what the problem is and just dealing with it.

For lack of money I have never gone with out.

I'm an Obama supporter and live in the path of the storm. This is a bit of a stretch. With the exception of N.H none of the states in the path are competitive.

Problem is, its going to be a lot of snow in placs accustomed to a lot of snow.

Nothing to see here, except 24 hours news media trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
Well some models I have seen show heavy snow in Southwestern Virginia and up along the mountains in West Virginia and the Shenandoah valley. Those places are not all that used to snow as compared with New England, New York, and Pennsylvania.

That's a great idea, we could get to results of the Benghazi investigation before we vote. Then Obama would definitely lose the election. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for.

I'm not expecting much out of a cat 1 storm.

We'll see.
I am inclined to agree with you, will it cost anyone the election, I doubt it, but there could be a lot of damage. What too many are forgetting, the storm is hitting today and tomorow, not next Monday and Tues...
