Real end of the world stuff in the media. Couple of feet in NYC and the NE. Ugh.
 
Talking of 6 to 16 inches here. Power outages, etc. Thank goodness we have a generator.
 
Yes, it has been on the National News for fifteen seconds.
You'd think that the Northeast corridor was the only place in the
whole wide world that ever had any Winter weather.
 
They're calling it a storm of historic proportions. The eastern areas of the NY area will get it much worse.
 
Thanks Jason. Hope do too. It's already started to snow here. My wife was starting to head for the gym but decided to turn around.
 
Only a couple of inches for us so far in GB. I think we will miss the worst of it. Good luck to those along the coast though. They are in for it.
 
Looks like the DC area will dodge this one. We have some sloppy weather, light snow, sleet, rain, all coming down but the big snow is moving north of us. Everyone in the path of this please stay warm and safe. Time for a bowl of grits.:smile2: -- Al
 
Looks like I'm in the jackpot area, up to 36 inches with 60 to 70 MPH winds.

Not good, not good at all, just wonderful.

Went to the super market today, absolutely insane, people were buying food like they were going to be trapped in their houses for a week.

One lady had four cases of water; seriously, you and your family are going to drink 96 bottles of water, morons.

The problem here in Massachusetts is the infamous Blizzard of 1978. It hit during the day and thousands were stranded on our main highway, route 128 that cuts the state in half north to south, numerous people froze to death in their cars. As a kid, we lived up the street from 128 and I'll never forget the view as far as the eye could see north and south of stranded cars on the highway.

Supermarkets were closed for close to a week, everything was shut down, so now whenever the weatherman says snow is coming, people around here go into a full blown panic.

I love the shots from the hardware store too; they sell out of shovels every storm; what do people do, throw them out at the end of every winter, or better yet, after every storm, maybe I should sell shovels as well as soldiers.

George:

This post had me cracking up, I had to close my office door!

On a serious note, best to you and your family.

What scale were the bottles of water, 1/32 or 1/30? Limited Edutions I assume.

Right now, it's not doing much here. However, NJ Transit, the commuter train line that goes to and from NY, closes at 8 and the bridges into and from NY close around 11. Our company is closed tomorrow so we will see what's what in the am.

Glad you like it; we spoken a few times over the phone, so you know my sense of humor, dripping with sarcasm.

Forgot to mention I saw some boob in line at the supermarket with about a dozen packages of hot pockets and a jumbo case of toilet paper; looks like he had all his angles covered...............:rolleyes2:

Just rolled out of bed; what's the point of even getting up at this point.

As I sit here, my neighbor across the way is trying to get out of her house; she's got about a nine foot tall drift up against her door, good luck with that, we'll see you on Friday.

We got clobbered, at least two feet and it's still coming down. We have a small bench in the back yard that I sit on when I'm using the grill (my girlfriend calls it my thinking bench) and it's two feet tall. It's just about invisible at this point.

The coast really got hammered, a lot of flooding, high winds, national guard evacuations everywhere. Nantucket got hammered, the whole island is without power.

Guess those clam brains that wanted to ride it out had to be rescued.

And I love how the news stations always have some nitwit reporting from the coast and he's getting blown all over the place, must be a whoever draws the short straw.

34,000 people across the state without power.

To quote that fleabrain Joe from WFAN; "Wot a disasta."
 
Sorry to hear that. We got lucky. Very little snow. Good luck.

DC dodged both storms, more or less. First one stayed north and dropped a dusting. Second one went south and dropped 2-3 inches. Nothing compared to NE. Stay inside and play with your TS, George. No use getting frostbite, besides the stores are all empty. Be safe. -- Al
