This may shift. I'm not in the worst part at this point. I don't wish this on anyone.

1. oh dear

please, all of you in the target zone, BE SAFE - do not take any chances - and check in with us at DU - we care about y'all

2. That is just plain scary.

Keep safe.

3. At least your Governor declared a state of emergency this time!

Our storm is to hit PA tonight. Last I heard, our area will get 9-12 inches of snow, with higher amounts in some areas. The ice is forecast for Monday to Tuesday.

Stay warm!

4. for comparion sake, we got 1/2" of ice in my neck of the woods first storm this winter

It took out about 20% of an old, 60' maple in my back yard. I have no doubt that 1" would have taken down the whole tree, and probably some others with it.

Stay safe, people.

5. Two months and a day to The Masters

With their resources I'm sure the greens will be fine. Members must be ticked with a closed course but that can't be helped.

6. The couse itself might.

The grounds may not.
There are/were many trees there and some are very old. If a lot of them come down.....

I know they can clear them but that is more than a minor change.

7. They should not have planted a lot of the trees

They never should have Tiger-proofed the course. Love the course but there is little Dr. Mackenzie left.

9. I agree.

They shouldn't have made it longer. They should have changed the bunkers, the rough, and other things.

8. Very bad. There is going to be a helluva lot of damage, especially

trees and power lines.

Best of luck, folks.

10. James Brown concert, Austin, TX 1993 or 1994:

GFOS: "Fellas, if I was at home right now, where would I be?!?!?!"

Fellas: "Augusta, G-A!"

GFOS: "Let me hit it one more time, a 1-2-3-4"

11. Well I guess there's nothing to do

but sit back with a six pack and make the most of the day.

12. THAT may be what my Sis was talking about

The medical school is in Augusta, though she has been doing quarters in Savannah and Brunswick hospitals switching between them all.

Augusta may have been staffing up at Augusta, moving some of the med students FROM Savannah and she went to help. She's in her final semester at medical school.
