Big Storm Coming to New England!

They sat about 10-12 inches on south-central Long Island, but it's hard to measure. With all the wind there's 2.5-3 feet near fences, bushes and such windbreaks but still some grass poking up in the middle of the lawn. The snowplows pushed a few feet of packed snow across the driveway, though. Your tax dollars at work.

The bad thing is my Eagle EyeX6 SE's were 'out for delivery' yesterday. Then, in the late afternoon the status changed to 'Notice Left (No Authorized Recipient Available)'. There were no footprints in the snow, so they didn't try to deliver. Whatever happened to "Neither rain nor snow nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."? It didn't really get bad until ~10PM. Probably closed today, too.

We got slammed pretty good here in Rhode Island. The 9th most snowiest storm of all time.


2 feet in the back yard too.

Got about 2 feet here, didn’t crack the top 5 for Boston but made number 6.

looks like ice cream :open_mouth:

stay safe

Those are awesome, they should have added a few more feet to set a world record :smiley:

Cost cutting :frowning:

Politician and Weather man, the ONLY job where you can be wrong almost ALL the time and still have a job :smiley:

I’d rather be a CEO of a large company, i can run it into the ground and the exit package will be bigger then a lifetime of work

Get ready for round 2! Ding. It’s coming with a vengeance. 8 to 14 inches expected to fall again in the North East.

We had a “little” storm on Friday- another 8” or so. We’ll see what today brings.

All the schools around Utica, NY are closed.

Wind is very strong and snow is drifting very bad in places.

To windy to snow-blow right now.

Coming down pretty good here right now, 4-6 on the ground predicting 10-12. More of an annoyance than storm.

Officially 16.5” inches in Detroit, looks more like 12” to me? Back in the day us kids would be out bumper hitching (“shagging cars”) all night long!!

If you get that much of snow at one time, how long will it stay on ground? Days, weeks or months?

In Maine, that snow will probably hang around until late March or into early April, depending on how quickly things warm up and if we get rain.

Got about 8-10" overnight, with another 1-3" due to fall today. Already dug my car out, but still stuck due my lot not having been plowed.

+1! I was talking about bumper hitching just the other day.

When I was about 15 my little brothers each got a set of “Snow Boats” for Christmas. They were these cheap little skis, more like little sleds you strapped on your boots. Strap those babies on and find an oil delivery truck and you could go for miles!

One Christmas got a brand new Ski Jacket. My Snorkel Jacket was still soaked from the night before, so I wore the Ski jacket and when belly hitching, the guy dragged us across an intersection that was dry trying to knock us off, I made it across, but my new ski jacket was shredded. A couple day’s later the ole man asked why I wasn’t wearing it? I told him it was for skiing? Didn’t go skiing for a long time……then I out grew it!

Nice!

I just got done clearing out my driveway with my snow blower. I had about 6 inches with a changeover to freezing rain. The temps dropped like a rock and it is back to snow again. Its about 17 degrees out now.
