Here in Ct as well as all of New England a blizzard warning has been issued for mon thru wed.

Guess I'll be stuck at home for the next couple of days!

 

Hope you folks on the east coast are ready and fair well with the weather coming your way. Looks like a big one.

 

I know we get it the worst in the northwest corner tis the season

 

We have a blizzard warning in Jersey which is not very common here. Not looking forward to it my son is in FL and my back is old

 

Snow shovels are next to the door and the snowblower's fueled up and sitting at the foot of the porch stairs...

It'll take a couple of hours' work when the snow stops falling.

I hope you guys don't over-do it. I hate heavy snowfalls myself here in our snow belt. Stay safe and warm guys .
Cheers
Eric

 

Been away from Plymouth Ma. for ten years. I miss those nor'easter. Blizzard of 78 tops them all. Homes on both sides of us went into the drink. Son lives on the water and he is packing up. Its going to be the flooding and wind along the New England coast thats going to be the headlines. Send photos and good luck.

 

We gassed up the vehicles,snow blower,generator,charging all the flashlights,filled gas cans and got extra wood for the fireplace.

Gotta be prepared never know if and how long we might lose power.

 

30+ inches: Monster nor'easter could cripple N.J. with historic snow

 

Stay safe all of you in the northeast. I don't miss the beating we took from late Nov-March last year. Snowblower has had little work so far this year.

Bad for business at work though!

I'm pissed already, I just don't like snow.
I had a whole week of medical tests scheduled and now they have to be rescheduled. At least I got the generator plug installed in the garage if needed. I hope it's not.
20-30 inches expected now and gusts up to 65mph. Cripes, that's almost a hurricane.
I'll have pics for sure, sigh.

 

You snowmen be safe up there.

 

That sounds nasty! Just make sure and be safe and careful and don't push yourself too hard. Supposed to be about 68-75 degrees the next 3 days here. We have had a very mild winter and I hope it stays that way!

 

Most of the snow I saved before Christmas, melted over the Holiday. Now, when the wind blows, the dirt lifts off the fields and makes everything black...at least with the snow, things were a lot cleaner. If you have any extra snow that you can't handle, please send it up here...I am standing by with a firm grip on my shovel.

 

Looks like a beut, heading into work, not too bad com7ng home will be another story....b safe everyone

 

Sucks to be you guys. Gonna miss Montreal by " " this much.

 

Oh a wise guy ehhhhh

Roads look ok , so far. Early. Release from. Work means I can work from home,

Lunch just got upgraded from a yogurt and ham sandwich to beer and pizza

 

Picked up a 12 pack on the way home from work.....

 

And so it begins...................

 

Just listened to the mayor of NYC say that 'New York is blessed with the finest work farce'.

Yep ... he actually said farce.

 

Dean,

You'll get hit pretty good, but us poor bastards down on the shoreline are gonna get creamed! Went to get a generator, all gone. I have well water & septic. Gonna really suck if we lose power.

Guess we'll have to use the grill for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Not neccessarilly a bad thing. My son & I are OK with peeing & crapping in the woods. The Queen & Princess will be miserable.

Can't bitch about it. We chose to live here.

 

oh yeah its on !!!

theyre already selling t shirts

 

I know we have well here as well.
Don't even want to think about power going off. If so we will be................ oh yeah screwed.
Yes we did choose the fluctuant weather and the joyous taxes

 

GF sent me this one.................

 

Pretty explicit forecast...

 

Thinking about you guys tonight. Can't say I'm disappointed we're not getting it in Illinois. Just a nice slick coating of ice tonight. We're on a well and septic too. I know how it is to go without

 

My wife was kind enough to pick up a few bottles of Belgian ale for me on her way home yesterday.
Enjoying a Delirium Noël right now, and have a Het Anker Lucifer waiting for me tomorrow when I'm done snow blowing.
They pack a punch.





Actually, most of Maine is "Screwed" along with Vermont.
It's only those of us right by the coast who are... Well, you know.

Judging by the NOAA map, it looks like we're about ten minutes away from the light snow starting...

- Eric

 

I'm right under the arrowhead pointing at RI. I can smell the salt air from here.
Already dragged the snow blower out. Maybe I'll start early and try and nip it in the bud a little.

 

Last time I tried that in a big storm, I cleared the whole driveway, went to bed, got up the next morning, and it looked like I had never done anything - the drifting snow completely filled in everything I had cleared, and the falling snow capped it off.

Bastids.

- Eric

 

Yeah, considering the high winds this won't be pretty.
Maybe I'll have another bourbon and beer then.

 

Now you're talking. Picked up a 12 pack of Yuengling and a fresh bottle of Gentleman Jack on my way home. Might as well. Not like I'll be working tomorrow. Gotta stay warm during the excavation.

 

Now THAT sounds like the right move to me

 

Needed to get an inspection sticker for the 66 today. Dropped the top and went.
75* with a West wind at about 5 mph. Feel for you guys...
Of course, I will pay for it in August when it's 108* and humidity at about 90%.

 

I plowed an hour or so ago.

Plan to go out first thing in the am or every 6 inches , that's what you have to do when you plow with an Oldsmobile.

Now that's a man with a plan! Love it!

 

A lot of our Eastern pals sleeping in this morning (or out shoveling). I was hoping for a weather report. Hope you all still have power.

 

Got another 12ish overnight. Still have power.

 

About a foot on the ground so far here. They say it will snow all day, but the map looks more like another 4- hours.

The air is full of snow - it doesn't even look like it's falling - more like a cloud.

I'm not messing with it 'till it slows down substantially.

- Eric

 

The conspiracy nutters are having a field day on this one.

 

George, you still with power?

I'm not far from the edge of the storm, drive 10 minutes west and they have 4". Drive 30 min east and they have 24". My office is in the Yes! F'd region on the map. Wouldn't be surprised if we had 2-3 days of closure.
