I'm right in the center of quite a big snowstorm... it's coming down pretty hard right now... about 2-3 inches per hour with howling winds.
The total snowfall is supposed to be anywhere from 24-36+ inches, depending on what local forecaster I believe. It should end sometime tomorrow, again reports vary as to what time.
I'm looking forward to strapping on my snowshoes and grabbing my snowboard tomorrow... go for a little walk in the woods!
It's still coming down in the city. But I can't quite call it a storm like everyone else does around here.
What distinguishes a storm from just snowing? Have I gone soft in the head and don't see danger where others do?
More likely prepared for what may happen. When you are - it's just living.
It's cause absolute chaos in Long Island. My bro has been stuck in traffic for hours. Not cause his car is stuck, but cause others are and the roads are just jammed. I regret not picking up a 4x4 over the summer right now, I would have given it to him today.
Now just imagine if TSHTF and people were trying to bug out in their vehicle.Quote:

oh, definitely. I'm in no position to really prep for anything MAJOR, but my best plan would be to hunker down and try to ride it out. I mean, sandy was a walk in the park for me, as is this. Just my bro was stuck on the roads and just got home. His car is still out there and my parents and him are freaking out over that... lol. I offered to ride back out with one of them later to get it, but they're going to bed.
If something HUGE hit, oh, say NYC was nuked or one of the local reactors went, well, I already know that the odds are in favor of the wind carrying the fallout towards long island, so kind of SOL there... lol
So really, my best possible plan would be to be ready to hunker down with supplies for several weeks. The only bonus being in this area is help is generally not very far away because of how many people are here.
This is one of my standard scenarios because it has happened around here before. I keep a bag in the car, so I can be comfortable for up to 3 days while waiting for the traffic jam to be removed. I don't want to have to abandon my vehicle in the middle of a blizzard.Quote:

They're saying officially in Worcester Ma. it's over 26 inches.
I can't tell here at my house as the drifts are everywhere.
ABC News said many of the expressways were closed and hundreds of motorists were stranded. This is one of my main reasons for a vehicle bag. And, yes, Clay, goggles with clear and shaded lens are in both vehicles. Stay safe!!
Here's a picture out my front door.
The snow directly behind the door got blown out.
Check out the deck,at least 2 1/2-3 ft. out there.
I'm taking my time getting out there to clean up.
I'll snap some more pictures when I get outside.
You have a wife, right? Just sayin'.....
Wow that's quite a snow right there! I wish we would get a snow like that!
Was hearing snow plows scarping ALL. NIGHT. LOOOOOOOONG. (Ron White delivery)
Nothing but sloshy mess left on the streets. We'll be going off to the park for the real winter wonderland effect I was hoping for.
You all be careful and good luck.
I measured that on the deck and it was approx. 29-30 inches.Quote:

Thanks,I will be resting by my wood stove.Like I am now.lolQuote:

-10 with the wind chill.
I don't know if you can see my truck(Ford Ranger).
Check out the hood,you can't tell where the roof ends and the hood starts.lol
We still have a driving ban till further notice.
I'm a little north of you LLT. It doesn't look that bad here mostly cuz the wind blows up off the lake and takes the snow with it. The driveway is mostly clear, but I have a drift against the back of the house almost up to the window sills. Still only thinking about going out to shovel. The snow has stopped but it's still drifting around like crazy. Straight 30mph wind. If I start up the snow blower, likely to land in the next three neighbors' yards and they'll get all pissy.
On the flat we probably have a little less than 2 feet.
But.
I remember as a kid having storms like this, without the hype, and it's just snow.
I bet FirstTimeStar is giggling up her sleeve at 20" of snow.
Gonna drop below zero tonight so if you're in the heavy wet snow band, better get out there and clean it up.
Have you noticed that with the exception of Worcester, all the Boston weather forecasters have simply ignored the rest of the state outside of 128?
Typical.
So I though they were naming snow storms these days........Like PITA, Big let Down, Holy Shut......
Does this one have a name?
We just got 9 inches is all....
It's called, a BunchaWhoShotJohn.Quote:

The local gov. though is doing a pretty bang up job. They dragged all the cars that were stuck in intersections out of the intersections and lined them up along the side of the road. Unfortunately my bro's car wasn't one of them. Still a lot of abandoned cars out there. My cousin was actually "rescued" this morning. Him and my aunt spent all night in a car. The sad thing is that they were 100yds from some major stores, not like they were in the middle of nowhere. Also, they weren't stuck, it was cause of the people that were stuck further up the road. The other problem is that very few side roads are plowed. There is at least 2ft of snow in my area. We're right around 30inches, in the worst hit area of LI. Almost none of the side roads are cleared so the only way home last night was the main roads. You couldn't even get out to help someone. In fact, a friend of ours tried. His culdasac wasn't plowed and he tried to get through with his 4x4 without luck.Quote:

Also, normally snow like this takes a few days to accumulate around here so plows can clear roads no problem. We we're getting 2 inches an hour, which just completely overwhelmed the ability to plow roads. That and the fact the vast majority of people around here have no idea how to drive in the snow made for a huge mess. Like the fire department was pushing cars out and told them to keep going, dont stop, and of course people stopped just after getting free and were stuck again.
You probably already know this by now- I think they named the storm "Nemo".Quote:

This cracked me up as well.Some folks have some pretty good imaginations.
Thought this was fairly accurate.

Well,back to work.
Snow bankings are so high that folks in car need to creep out into the road to see.
Glad I have a 4 x 4 truck that's high enough to see what's going on.
Talked with a few people on another website from my area,they are still without power.Some have been told not until Thursday.
It was snowing here again this morning.Suppose to go to freezing rain,then rain but only 1/4 inch.
