Hurricane Sandy to effect cincinnati with snow, and 40 mph winds?

Heard on the weather channel that ohio, and cincinnati can potentially recieve a wintery mix of snow, freezing rain, and ice, and will have gusts of 40-50mph winds from sandy

I never asked for this.

Yeah I can't wait. The last time a hurricane made it here I was without power for a week.

The concept of waiting a week with no power, in the nippy frost with snow falling is just not a pleasant image that I want yet

Dang, I can already hear the wind chimes screaming as the wind blowing them harsly.

I'm guessing Ike... I was living in Cincy at the time and my power was out for over a week. I thought being without power in the summer was bad, losing it with the cold and snow would be even worse.

Ike? Out of everyone I know in Cincinnati, I was the only one that didn't lose power, once. I kept offering my co-workers a place to have a hot shower and watch some TV, but they never took me up on it.

My friends on the other hand basically lived off my house for a week... stored their food in my fridge, used my PC, and used all my hot water.

Snow in late October. What are the odds?

Better to experience a hurricane in Cincy than on the coast. Trust me.

Yep, things are starting to get ugly here in central MD. Can't imagine what it's like on the coast and all over Jersey. Hoping the power holds out, but expecting it to go at any time now. Could be the 3rd time in the last 14 months we lose power for 5+ days.

Re: Hurricane Sandy to effect cincinnati with snow, and 40 mph winds?

That was Ike that hit Cincy several years ago. We were lucky....we only lost power for a little over three days but others around me lost it for a week too. That was crazy but I can't even imagine what those on the coast up in New England will be and are currently going through with Sandy. I have friends in a lot of the affected areas and they're all hunkering down and hoping for the best. I can deal with a little snow and/or freezing rain...I do NOT want to deal with all the stuff that's heading their way.

Thoughts and prayers to everyone in the affected areas.

My sister got married in late october, around 1993 or '94. There was a dusting of snow on the ground in the morning.

Jersey...I'm in the north. Not awful here, but the coast is getting treated like Josh Fogg.
