Massive Winter Storm Stella hits New England

0.13 inches and we close the roads here in Texas. And panic, lots of panic. Chaos. No sarcasm.

My Daughter is in Memphis, TN and when it snows she gives lessons on how to “Winter Drive”

Storm named Stella totally dumping snow at my location in Maine at the moment. Blizzard conditions!

snowflakes? OH NO!!

This is a little exaggerated because of the wind but we have a solid two feet here in the poconos.

Looks like stellas and guidos are making the news around there!

:smiley: LOL jk!

We are supposed to get 18” to 24”+. It’s New England we get some snow here. It never ceases to amaze me a couple of snowflakes here and people panic.

Love that video..lol.

I rather enjoy the snow season. I get the opportunity to use all the attachments (snow blower, blade..etc) I have for my mini John Deere tractor.

Serve me up a hot toddy, go have some fun!!

The movie is “A Streetcar Named Desire”

No snow here in OLD England :)

John.

Saw it on the Dutch news, good luck everybody!

Indeed, I have to say I’m rather jealous (not of the storm, but the snow)………. the ONLY time we had snow that thick here on the SW coast of the UK was when I was about 6, that was well over 30 years ago!
We sometimes have a slight scattering here, maybe 2-7 days max but it’s like dandruff compared to those photo’s!
Enjoy yourselves you lucky people (and stay safe) Perhaps a BLF snowman compo is in order……….

Current weather in central Maine: SNOW! WIND! 25 F, visibility near zero…. In other words, just another day in Maine, ayuh!

Expecting 12+ inches w/ drifting. In other words, just another average storm in Maine, ayuh!

Waiting till morning, snowblow the car out of the drifts, head to work. In other words, just another work day in Maine, ayuh!

4 wheel drive and winter tyres with studs :+1: :+1: :+1: I know that studs are forbidden almost everywhere in the world. Stay safe.

You can have studs in New York State but I like the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2, no studs.
Second set and they are very good in snow with front wheel drive.

Lehigh County, PA reporting 13in. It was deeper this morning while still fluffy. After it sleeted for a couple hours show compacted a bit
I was out this morning to work @ 6AM and back home by 9:30 AM. I think about 8 people showed out of the 25 needed to function. We did what we could and went home. I got paid for the whole day for showing up.

Tomorrow morning after it all freezes… work is a Maybe.

And Studded snows are allowed in PA

Keep it warm :slight_smile:

What headlight/flashlight tint is good for weather like that?

I tried to do some beamshots in foggy weather and just saw a white wall.

I think I need some VERY WARM tint to to see and “be seen”.

Hang in there guys. Please keep us posted.

Southern Maine reporting here. I shoveled and snowblowed (a verb?) around 3pm, and just came in from moving another 14-16 inches off my driveway.

Still snowing, still blowing…

…the one good thing is that I got to use my Skilhunt H03 headlamp, as my snowblower has no light mounted. It was easy to turn on and adjust even with gloved hands, and allowed me to get the bulk of the snow moved tonight (and hoping not too much more by morning). The H03 was caked in ice and snow when I came in (as was I!) but never faltered - And I may have even convinced my wife that at least some of my lights are a great investment!

We had crocuses popping up between the old leaves in the flower bed on the south of the house yesterday!
