We have to wait for our turn,tonight and tomorrow.
Just got a call from my friend who volunteered to plow me out if necessary and install a generator if necessary.
I am one of the few people these days that doesn't seem overly concerned about a winter snowstorm.
I guess you get that way being old and retired with no school aged children around.
In answering you I pinged my white shark list as many are locals who will be involved with this storm, as many along the East coast from Philly thru New England will be. - Tom
Hot chocolate and Bourbon and you’re good to go...................
You get the heavy stuff it sounds, let him plow you out :)
Just me n' mama
if we had soemoen taking care of the snow for us, I wouldn’t ind it at all- but we take care of the snow ourselves, and that has gotten old the past couple of years- especially standing up on a roof with a 20 foot drop on the backside of house- ugggh-
For those that do their own roofs though I would suggest buying one of the following-
Minnesota snow razor (there are several other brands- this one is pretty good- some are kinda flimsy because they are too tall, and flex too much)

Start about the 3:30 mark- these things save a ton of time and energy, and work really slick for parts of the roof accessible from ground- it’s a little tricky off a ladder- but doable- We made our own
Here in Baltimore, we are getting enormous flakes now falling down. They downgraded our storm effects here from 4-8” to 1-3”. Still looks nasty out there. The top of the grass is just about covered now, and I’d say it’s about 3” from the surface of the sidewalk to the top of the grass. The snow is supposed to turn to sleet and rain later, providing us with a nice coating of ice when it freezes tonight. I have no reason to go out today, having laid in food, crickets for my lizards, etc. yesterday. Just gonna fix myself another cup of hot cocoa and have some homemade mushroom and barley soup I made last night, mmm. I hope everyone out there is safe and cozy!
They are predicting 8-12 tonight here in Nashua. Another 3-5 tomorrow. The good thing is it is going to get down to 15 tonight and only a high in the mid 20’s tomorrow. So, nice light fluffy snow.
Thanks, Capt. Tom. I am with you-I couldn’t give a hoot about weather forecasts. I just take it as it comes...
People get crazy about this stuff.
Well, “I” won’t be involved Tom as I left the NE in 1991 and now reside in FL. But I am wishing you good health and safe passage thru the winter storm and all days ahead. I fondly remember being wrapped in a wool blanket late at night listening to the wind howl and the snow patter against the window.
Be REALLY careful up there. - We OFs DON’T BOUNCE ANYMORE WHEN WE FALL on our bum.
STAY WARM, too.
