Meanwhile in NH I could practically mow my lawn.

Yeah, supposed to get more snow at home tomorrow and Wednesday and apparently they are predicting heavy snow here in Boston on Wednesday. Stretch, looks like you just made it out in time.

Grawk, would you avoid flying into/out of NYC on weds/Thurs if you had the choice? Due to weather issues, I mean.

Well the updated weather warning is now up to another 10-20" in Alexandria and DC. WTF!!!! This is crazy.

I'm very glad that I dug the cars out. Digging out 40" in one shot would suck.

Only have 6-12 inches of snow forecast here. No big deal.

Good luck in the upcoming apocalypse all, sounds like snow shoes are in order.

Snow-pocalypse!

Today will be a-popsicle-lypse, though. Everything that melted overnight is now frozen, so the slush that people were driving through yesterday like a knife through butter will tear the undersides of their cars apart (brake lines!) like an iceberg through the Titanic.

Good luck with that, I'm staying home.

And yeah, I should probably dig the other car out. That is, indeed, going to suck.

Winter Storm Warning downgraded to 6-8 inches of snowfall ... steady .... for the next 24 hours. Assuming the plows can keep up it shouldn't be too bad.

My street was never plowed the first time, and now I'm running out of cat food. And all work and no play make jack a dull boy.

Fucking cats.

Announcement that schools already are closed tomorrow here in NYC.

You've got be kidding me.

They're projecting that my area will miss most of the snow as we're too far up north, 1-4 inches at most.

It's weird. NYC generally doesn't do this. But it looks like we're right in the path of the high accumulations. And there haven't been many, if any, snow days, so I guess they figured that it makes sense to call it.

Supposedly my county just closed school for the remainder of the week.

I was just able to order delivery from Pizza Hut, they didnt know my street was unplowed.

The guy had to park a street down and bring it up to the house. I feel kinda bad about doing that, but I gave him 10 bucks.

We are supposed to get up to another 10-15", and maybe more over the weekend, so I need food.

The FUCK??

it's to get more funding for my department, of course

that is very weird. NYC never closes schools unless theres about a foot of snow and it starts at like 3-5 in the morning

That sucks man, can you call a cab, walk to the end of the street and go do some grocery shopping? Otherwise I'd seriously consider calling the police and asking for the street to be cleared. WTF would happen if there was a fire or other emergency on the street? Are they going to park up the street and watch someone's house burn?

That's why you buy 5 gallons of milk, 18 rolls of toilet paper, and 5 boxes of cereal whenever snow is predicted

Yeah, that sounds like bad times Aardvark. Hopefully you can do as Nate suggested or something.

FIFY (and most of HC).

Naw, I make my own beer. I have to buy everything else tho

My buddy's wife slipped and fell on the ice and got a concussion they sent an EMT with a snow plow but he's further out so I don't know what they do more local to DC.

Luckily our fire station is a block away which means that the street is plowed.

I'm doing ok now, my parents were able to drive down the next street which is plowed, and walk some stuff up to the house.

I am surprised though, as last storm my street seemed to be one of the first ones to be plowed.

I'm not sure how much a plow could help now anyways, some of the neighbors with big F250 type trucks and whatnot have packed everything down. I doubt I could drive on it, but I'd give it a shot in a pinch.

I'd be pretty nervous if I wasn't able to get this food though, with the possibility of being snowed in again until the weekend, and possibly more coming down over the weekend.

Lesson learned for next time, to say the least.

Kinda cool website I came across today. Lists snowfall totals for 1, 2, 3-7 days by state.

Sorry if this has already been posted.

Here in Windsor it just now went from a few random flakes to serious, partial-whiteout snow, in the time it took me to walk five or six short-ish blocks. We're not going to get dumped on like the mid-Atlantic states, but over here, even a couple inches is seen as a big disruption.
