January 27, 201511 yr comment_670107 Doesn't look wet from the pic, Todd, so I hope it's light stuff, and no one loses power. Sure is pretty. It's pretty fluffy. Too damn cold to be heavy snow, thankfully. The power outage risk is from the wind, which is supposed to pick back up later. Sections of MA (the Cape) are already pretty well screwed. My wife's school just cancelled for tomorrow as well. I think most are thinking that cleanup is going to take a while and I don't disagree. Commence round one with the driveway! Report
January 27, 201511 yr comment_670108 What Nate said, more or less. My plow guy came through while I was making breakfast. I didn't venture outside to talk to him. The drifting is impressive. My far has like 3" on it, but there's a spot outside my window that looks closer to two feet. I just shoveled the walk and (mostly) cleaned off my car. The wind right now is vicious. My face feels like it's been sand blasted. Report
January 27, 201511 yr comment_670110 I don't know about you, but those school cancelations would throw the parents' schedule completely off! Scary stuff - good luck, and stay safe! Report

January 27, 201511 yr comment_670117 It looks like we got about 25-30% of the expected 2 feet. Report

January 27, 201511 yr comment_670135 Got 18" not as bad as expected,No snow plows on my street though. Report
January 27, 201511 yr comment_670138 This is an "after" picture of the drift on our deck, my wife took it this afternoon. Andrew and I did some shoveling today, luckily fluffy shit because there was a lot (and we have a plow service too, but he can't get certain areas). Report
January 28, 201511 yr comment_670167 I presume this is a pic of the finger I think it is... This is an "after" picture of the drift on our deck, my wife took it this afternoon. Andrew and I did some shoveling today, luckily fluffy shit because there was a lot (and we have a plow service too, but he can't get certain areas). Snow-Jan-2015 part 2.jpg Holy fuck on a stick! Stay safe and warm dudes, and your families. I can sympathize, and my snow blower is cringing in fear of that level of snow! Glad for you guys that it is fluffy and heavy damp wet shit!

January 28, 201511 yr comment_670180 Right after this he did a Snowmageddon slam dunk and said "fuck this snow!" Rock on Nate. Report
January 28, 201511 yr comment_670192 We got somewhere between 24 and 30". I cleared another 12-16" off the driveway this morning and we'll be good for at least 24 hours till the next storm on Friday. Oh, and then there's another one forecast for Monday that's already looking like it'll deliver another 12" or so. Two weeks ago it rained and my entire lawn was bare. By this time next week we might have 4'+. Jebus help us. And you can't efficiently flip the bird while wearing mittens so that was just the thumbs up sarcastic option. Report
January 28, 201511 yr Author comment_670237 My school is closed again tomorrow (my wife's school as well since we work for the same district). Apparently, the city is having difficulties clearing all the side roads well enough for the buses to pass. I do feel bad for all the parents that have to arrange for childcare for yet another day. On a related note, our kids' daycare had to close today at the last minute when the owner/director came in to find that the parking lot/sidewalks for the center hadn't been cleared out after she was assured it would be done, resulting in unhappy parents.

January 28, 201511 yr comment_670240 Wow, that's crazy Haj. North Andover is looking pretty good, though some side roads are pretty ugly here too. I don't think we'll get another day cancelled though. Report
January 28, 201511 yr Author comment_670245 I'm guessing the issue is with limited off-street parking in Lowell. At least my wife and I will get a day to relax after being stuck in the house for two days with kids. Report
January 30, 201511 yr comment_670481 It's snowing here again. About 1" on the ground so far with 3-6" predicted overnight tonight. Shouldn't be too bad. There's another storm coming Monday along with some serious cold (-5F predicted + high winds) that doesn't sound like much fun. Report
January 30, 201511 yr comment_670491 I seriously think Mother Nature's New England contingent forgot about us for much of the late Fall & Winter, then said, "Oh, shit....have to make up for that....!" Report
January 31, 201511 yr comment_670552 Did I mention it's summer in the Southern Hemisphere? I vote ban Report
January 31, 201511 yr comment_670553 I vote ban I deserve it. I will say we didn't get anything in AA from that big storm. We in fact got a nice long thaw period. That being said, more than hating the cold, which I don't really, I am loving the humidity. Dry and cold is a annoying combination. Report
January 31, 201511 yr comment_670554 Oh and I didn't post a pic. That would have definitely merited a ban. Report
