Eric7100 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 There is a blizzard coming my way Friday night through Sunday morning, with the heaviest snow falling throughout the day on Saturday. Heavy snow will be falling at the rate of 1-2 inches per hour, with the possibility of 18-24+ inches total. There will also be gusty winds, thunderSNOW, and white-out conditions. (This also happens to be our first snowfall of the season.) What this means for my new puppy remains to be seen. I guess she will regress to "going potty" back on the training pads. Also, I am expecting an extremely important Intellivision delivery of a very rare item. The tracking says that it will be delivered on Saturday, but I just don't see that happening. Will my package be left and buried, or will it not be left at all? Finally, will I have enough time on Sunday to shovel out before the AFC/NFC Championships in the afternoon? We shall see. Is anybody else in this predicament? Who else out there is about to experience a blizzard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+5-11under Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I was assembling some circuit boards last night... Intellivision. I realized after putting the solder paste on that I was missing one part. I ordered some parts from Digi-Key in MN. I was expecting them here today, but they've only been "picked up" and haven't moved anywhere. In the meantime I put on all the other parts. Now the boards have to wait until the 4 day point (minimum) instead of 1 day. Oh well, the solder paste is still okay so far... . /no expected snow in southern Ontario.

Atarian7 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm in central Maryland. We aren't supposed to get a blizzard here but we are supposed to get 20 to 30 inches of snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boards'll be alright...Just get a spray bottle of flux and give the boards a spurt before you reflow them But you can always clean off the paste on the missing component's pads and reflow what you got, then you just got a little rework to do once the part has arrived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 sounds like a blizzard to me.... A blizzard is defined by snow and WIND. The wind speed has to be 35 mph and greater for it to be considered a blizzard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well there you go , put a intv game in and consider it a snow level... Dress warm and go enjoy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 A blizzard is defined by snow and WIND. The wind speed has to be 35 mph and greater for it to be considered a blizzard. Yep, and we're supposed to get the strong winds on Saturday, with gusts up to 60 mph. I'm in SE Pennsylvania. Now they're calling for "blizzard conditions" tomorrow, whatever that means.

mr_intv Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Pffft, don't let a blizzard slow you down. Our schools don't even close anymore over a blizzard.... just be sure to go out and shovel trails for your pup so he/she can do its "thing"!

AtariBuff Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yep, and we're supposed to get the strong winds on Saturday, with gusts up to 60 mph. Make sure you tow the doggie to a heavy object just to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Make sure you tow the doggie to a heavy object just to be sure. I won't let her out until the blizzard passes. She'll be using the training pads in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Man, I envy you guys. Deep south, Louisiana. Although things can get pretty miserable when it's 40F and pooring rain. The deluge that passed through here two nights ago is causing quite a commotion as it heads into the northeast. Glad to send it your way...

slab0meat Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm in NJ. I'm home with my two kids and wife is in Florida. Two dogs. Tons of snow with lots more still falling. This will not be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TrekMD Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hopefully your package arrives. I know what it's like to be stuck because of the snow. I'm glad my permanent home is in Florida because the years I lived in NJ I had enough snow to last me a lifetime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
