I'm kind of jealous. We haven't had a proper snow day in NYC in last 18 months. I kind of miss snow.

 

[amdhunter]

I'm mad about the 4-5" we are supposed to get here. Snow = bad!!!

 

[Jumpem]

Too far inland in central NY. I think we are supposed to only get 10 inches.

 

[bigrash]

Hate the snow. Hope we don't get buried in it.

 

[SparkyJJO]

Enjoy it. I don't mind some snow, but 2 feet is just simply too much all at once.

 

[Jumpem]

It's just a little snow. Shovel a bit, and go to work or school.

It's just a little snow. Shovel a bit, and go to work or school.

The only problem with that much snow in the city is that there isn't anywhere to put it. Anything over about 6" just becomes a PITA because people start fighting over parking spots - really makes me glad I have a garage. Now just crossing my fingers that power stays on so I have heat.

 

[keird]

Meh. I have to leave my wife and child behind. The governor will likely call in the National Guard during the weekend and I won't be able to solve issues around the house.

Snowmageddon?





Meh.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I'm ready!

 

[Red Squirrel]

Got that much here about a week ago. Glad I was off that day and did not have to worry about trying to get the car out and be to work. Probably would have said screw it and took a cab lol.

 

[BoomerD]

I am...of course, I'm about 3000 miles west of it...:biggrin:

I grew up in western Mass, so I vaguely remember the nasty winter storms that can roar through.

SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM THREATENING TONIGHT AND FRIDAY.

MANY PARTS OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN ONTARIO MAY RECEIVE 15 CM OF SNOW FROM THIS STORM BY FRIDAY EVENING. SOME AREAS MAY RECEIVE HIGHER AMOUNTS, WITH 25 CM NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THIS WILL DEPEND ON THE EXACT TRACK AND INTENSITY OF THIS LOW, AND ENHANCEMENT IN THE COLD EASTERLY FLOW OFF OF LAKE ONTARIO FOR EXAMPLE. TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS MAY BE SOMEWHAT LOWER OVER THE EXTREME SOUTHWEST DUE TO SOME FREEZING RAIN AND ICE PELLETS.

I normally welcome the snow and I'm not near Boston but I'm supposed to fly to Chicago from Detroit on Friday morning...wish me luck!

[Pocatello]

I wish for more snow.

 

[DrPizza]

I'm toward the western edge of "bad." Pain in the neck for me, because I have to figure out tonight if all school activities will be canceled tomorrow night. Planning a big pizza dinner (100 pounds of dough, for starters) and I don't want to be stuck with stuff I have no place to store.

 

[Dude111]

I wish for more snow.

I didnt hear anything about this!!!

I HOPE WE DONT GET ANYTHING!!!!!

 

[ch33zw1z]

Looks like my area is in for 12"+, I'm 30 miles north of hartford. So, yea, I'm getting gas for the snow blower

yea ther weather for me says we are either getting a 6-8 in of snow or a mix of ice and rain and snow

snow is fine, the mix BS is bad. curious where the line will fall

 

[SpunkyJones]

I'll have to check tonight to make sure I got gas for the snow blower, and tell the boss I'm working from home. Should be a good weekend for sledding with the kids hopefully, so I"m looking forward to a good old fashion blizzard.

 

[darkewaffle]

Dang, I have a three day weekend and it doesn't look like we're going to get almost any of it.

dc: snow and sleet accumulation of less than a half inch possible

nyc: snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible

 

[Wyndru]

Snowmageddon?





Meh.

This one is called Nemo, I guess snowstorms get their own names now :awe:

And I love how the weather channel is calling it a "potentially historic blizzard", like there has never been 2 foot storms in the northeast in the past.

 

[adairusmc]

I am so jealous. We have crappy sugar snow here, my turbo sled wants some fresh pow again.
