impending blizzard to hit chicago will be the biggest in 45 years! Hi ECF members

[chicagoVPR]

Hey Chris, Hope you're riding out the storm OK! I agree about the Kindle...I love mine too, and you know what'd make it even Better?? If it had a USB port strong enough to power my passthrough e-cigarette! That'd be the bomb. Reading and vaping all day long on a nice warm beach .... Welcome to ECF !

OMG, that would be awesoooome lol
get yourself a patent on that!
the major part of storm isn't here yet...it's a-comin
so glad I bought two 50 pound bags of calcium chloride....no folks, this isn't something to smoke!
gonna throw it on the sidewalks if shovelin is too much
I will be on a warm beach in california in mid-march....well, it better be warm!

chicagoVPR,

i don't know how or why you train (i.e. cardio fitness, pack on muscle, for general health) but I used to be a CPT and if you want a great way to get in shape I can offer some suggestions if you are interested.

Cheers,
VMS

hey I'm a CPT myself through ACE
Are you familiar with bodybuilding.com? A great resource!
Tips are always welcomed. I don't pretend to know everything but after so many years I've got a pretty good handle on how my body reacts to certain programs/exercises. The key for me is to QUIT these killer cigarettes. Ugh it irritates me that I smoked so long! But now I'm on the road to recovery!

Ya, Im familiar with them, they are a good source.
Since you are a CPT, really not much I can offer you in ways for working out. I have discovered this particular form of self defense I am learning to be the best workout I have ever gotten and it has practical applications.

As you said the biggest thing (especially for us that do heavy lifting or slightly more than recreational exercise) is to get off the cigarettes. I am glad I did, and I know you are too.

Cheers and keep fit,
VMS

exactly. hey, just curious, but what kind of self defense training are you involved in? would it be krav maga?

 

[cigarbabe]

I would like to take you up on that off VMS.
I sometimes use my iPad with my Tekk mod to plug in when necessary.
I'll take that sled ride too!

As the title indicates, the storm of the century is on it's way! Ok, really? Is the media just fear- mongering again to increase the ratings?? Well whatever. I will keep my PV close to me at all times. I do not have a snow thrower so I hope my lung capacity has improved over the last 3 days to handle the extra cardio. Good timing eh

Are you serious? What time is it expected? I have family traveling there so I am concerned, he was stuck on an icy freeway in Atlanta for 24 hours a couple weeks ago! lol!

Shoveling snow, I've been doing that a lot this year, only twice since I have started vaping and the snow was still heavy. Your blizzard snow is sure to be a lot heavier, just keep shoveling every couple hours. I don't think those snow blowers do as good of a job, my neighbor has one and he always have to go over with a shovel when he finishes. I think I should be expecting your second hand blizzard to be coming my way, usually heads west.

Oh and congrats on the vaping! You are going to be in for some changes but all for the best of course!

Supposed to get heavy snow about noon and weather channel is still saying up to 2 feet! Gonna be crazy! Also calling for lots of delays and cancellations at the airports if they are traveling by plane might be a bad travel day..

Thanks, he's a truck driver. Sending txt right now.

 

[Sorrid]

Brrr!...sounds to cold to me. Just pack everyone up and come down here. It's been all sun, beer, flip flops and t shirts around these parts.

You are welcome!...now I'm just hoping my mail-man isn't running to late supposed to get another shipment of juice and I dont want to track him down in the neighborhood with all the snow....but I will if I have too!

haha, good luck with that, my husband sometimes has a mail delivery! Last time he got stuck in Atlanta the postman's oath didn't apply! "neither rain nor snow..." Unless my husbands driving the delivery truck, haha.

 

[snails1023]

Bring that snow on!! I am stocked up on food , movies and all vaping gear. My orders for extra juice came in yesterday along with more atties. I am ready for a snow day or week.

 

[ringwraith1of9]

I'm down here by Dallas and have about an inch and a half of snow and 18 degrees.not gonna do anything but eat,vape and hope the power doesn't go out like last year(3 days!).And yes I'm hoping its fear mongering and things aren't going to be as bad as some are predicting if only for those further north than me.Stay safe friends.

 

[fallon74]

Welcome to the forum!! Us here in Toledo Ohio are expecting a blizzard too I hope the electricity holds up during the storm I hate to think that I couldn't charge my PV.

 

[JohnKing]

All this snow is caused by Global warming.

 

[jadeite]

Have lots of batteries and stay warm everyone.

 

[Jennie O]

Snow Day!! And I need my EGo NOW!!! Dammit...

 

[jj2]

I'd charge every battery you have!!!

I use the Nicostick and 14500 batteries, and have about ten of them and they are all charged just in case.
Here's hoping we don't lose power though.

 

[Hrtbrkr1965]

Had about an inch of ice here last night near indy which knocked the power out for 6 hours last night! Finally got it back on about 5 a.m. and expecting another inch of ice today before the snow sets in....hope we can keep power on this time!
