They are giving large prediction ranges again. CYA!
Today's Weather in Your Garden - 62
i HOPE we get buried here!!
I'd better hurry up and buy some milk and bread!!
Just came back from the Market, drugstore, post office, Bank and Home Depot to get special light bulbs for my stove. Guess I will be OK for a while. Was surprised how few peple were in the Market.
Talked with my Grandson who lives in PA, they had 3 feet of snow and expect more. Hope we are not getting that much.
Opposite here. Just back from the supermarket. Way more people than normal this this time. You would think we were going to be stuck inside for 10 days!
Does anyone remember the storm of '78? At least I think that was the year. It snowed like mad, by the time people tried to get home they were stuck where ever they landed with the car. It took my Son in Law two hours to get home that usually took 20 minutes.. We had no electricity for days, not water, no heat, no phone.
Oh ya that was awful. I missed the whole thing because I had gone to work then stayed to do a double because people called in. Usually worked 3-11 at nursing home that is only about three miles away. Stuck there for four days! A tractor trailer flipped over out front so plows could not clear the road. Several people got stranded with us too and they helped out with laundry and meals. No support staff and only five on each floor for over 100 patients. We could see people having fun out in the streets on tv, meeting with neighbors and enjoying the time off from the rat race. I didn't get any sleep for three days when they finally brought some relief in by snow mobile. You get a little nutty without sleep you know. Was never so glad to get home in my life.
36*F And it begins again! It started snowing about 15-20 mins. ago here. Bill you should take your skis to Victors and start south. You could probably go all the way to Ashville, NC. I got the ashes out and the coal in so I guess we're ready.Ric
It's getting really cloudy right now
The storm we just had was the 2nd worst in history in this area the '96 storm still holds the #1 spot '96 was also the worst because it was the whole state.
Then there were bad ones in '78 and '66
Here's the chart for the worst in NYC history

Depending on which way the storm is coming we usually get something between Philly and NY
Hey wha - I heard back from Shelly today. She sounds pretty good. Echoed what you'd said about the computer. Wish I had the wherewithall to get her a new one . . .
Our temps have dipped a bit, but nothing close to what you're having. Reading this thread is making me C-O-L-D . . .
Hang in there. Throw another log on the fire!
Glad your ash is ready, Ric! Can't believe it's already starting.
Jen, I remember '95-'96 very well as that was when we bought the house. I made sure to hold off on the closing until March 15.
looks like we will have a few inches by morning.. and then in the afternoon we are getting clobbered... I am right on the line 6 - 12 or 12 - 18... could be either or somewhere in the middle
????
Similar here. 8-12 is the most likely. Blizzard conditions. Do you have to work, Allison?
I am staying home... sick anyway
I'm going to try to convince DW to stay home tomorrow, (no easy task), she's heading to Wall St., as long as the market is open she goes into the city, problem is getting back out...
yes and the roads & trains are always a mess
Yes, the PM commute will be much worse than the AM.
Feel better, Allison!
thank you
I plan on going in the hot tub with the kids during the storm!
Feel better, Allison.
It's started here about half an hour ago. Here we go kiddies!
wood stove is cranked up.. but boy I could use that hot tub
snow started here @ 8am. It's still snowing and will be until 7pm tomorrow. DH in the snow plow til 10pm tonight.
sigh
Sorry you're sick Allison.
They canceled school for tomorrow. Snow started lightly at about 7:15, coming down like crazy right now.
Snow again today and supposed to continue thru the night. If predictions are accurate, I should have at least 4' by the time it is done. I haven't been to work all week, and the federal govt is closed again tomorrow. Starting to go stir crazy, but am lucky to still have power. The news has been reporting that many people in the area have been without it since Friday night when the first round hit. Terri
Good luck to all of you again.... So sorry your getting slammed like this!!!!
Hugs to all and prayers.^_^
Thanks, we're usually the ones offering sympathy. ^_^
I'm wondering if we're going to get more now since it didn't start out as sleet like they said.
Will be interesting to see what is out there on wake-up.
Yeah definitely.
Watching the news about all the people running to the store, it's so funny like we're gonna be stuck in the house for a week or something.
I just got a call we are closed tomorrow.. saved me a sick day
There ya go.
We got a good 3" already
it looked more like freezing rain when it first started.. now looks fluffy... fluffy on top of ice is bad.. I would still say a dusting so far
We will be passed by with this storm. Predict 3 inches.
We have had really bad ones like Washington got.
This is the old house in January 2004.Snow was waist high.
July the same year
31 now... and a high of 31.. about 2 or 3 inches now... more to come
no that's not normal for you Sherrie
I know I will be shoveling the deck & part of the yard for the yokies later
