God is getting even with us for voting for the Rats so consistently.
I was overseas during that snow storm.
Yep,barrels in parking spaces in winter is an old memory…..I grew up in Boston.

And don't forget about the chairs to mark out a parking space. -Tom
Nothing compares with the 1978 blizzard. It went on for 3 days. While Boston’s Logan Airport may have “only” gotten 27 inches, most of the suburbs got between 3 and 4 feet of snow. The guys across the street were jumping into snowdrifts from the second floor in a suburb ten miles north of Boston. Eyewitness report.
My great-aunt and her children ran a little Italian restaurant at West and Breckenridge called Vieni Su. The first time I was in Buffalo it was still operating but when I came back in 1983 it had closed (my great-aunt had passed away by then).
My experience with weather forecasts is that several days out, it’s a crap shoot.
By the time you get to 2-3 days out, it’s pretty certain, and all the more if the forecast remains stable for that time.
The more sure they are of it, by not changing it by 5e day, the more likely it’s going to be what they expect.
Sad to say, they do have to tell people that. There are always idiots who will go out in the middle of conditions no one should be out in, risking not only their own lives, which serves them right, but also the lives of those they expect to rescue them and bail them out when reality bites them hard.
Stupidity should cost you.
But the no t ravel except for emergencies allows them to try to keep the roads clear without having to work around all the idiots who can’t drive in the stuff and have no business being on the road.
I don’t remember that one.
I did not live in the city itself.
Good Point. We had 34 inches one day back in 77 with 100mph winds. Buried the whole town for days. Never have seen any news stories about it. Mainly because there were no cell phones and no electrify either for days.
The weather service is sticking with their forecast.
ISSUED: 3:37 AM JAN. 29, 2022 – NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 AM EST SUNDAY...

Whatever the government tells you, presume the opposite.
Joe Bastardi at Weather Bell called it right though.
Glad you still have power.
Can you see anything? Or is it just whiteout?
A friend with a Cape House got a power out text already.
, Havent seen a whiteout yet.
Visibility is about 200 yards during the wind gusts.
But right now it is the worst of the storm.-Tom
Not even "Bombaloo"?
I'm sorry, I shouldn't be up this early.
I figure right now where I am, the gusts are hitting 50 mph which is not to bad. Down the Cape they are probably higher.
In anticipatiion of a power outage I am defrosting a steak and hope to fry it on my electric stove before I lose power.
Steak and beans, yummy.-Tom
