Last winter here just south of Boston we had several snowfalls that were not storm driven, it was more like the Lake effect snow that Buffalo NY regularly gets.
At last it looks lke we will be getting tonight a real Nor'easter like we are used to having during the winter months.
So be prepared, and hope you don't experience the real problem - a power loss.
Freepers from NY thru Conn. should be experiencing this storm now.
Along the Mass. coast we get our turn tonight. -Tom
Snowing in Philly area already.
A small thing to grouse about, but with schools having figured out how to present remote classes, and many workers able to work from home, a good solid snowfall no longer means much of a day off for anyone. I feel somewhat cheated.
Montanans are very impressed I’m sure.
Whining snowflakes for real.
I bet the schools will call it a snow day off even they’re all remote at home.
The lazy teachers will come up with some bogus excuse.
Amateurs...
Born and raised in Rhode Island-Massachusetts. Never minded snowstorms until after Christmas. Then January thaw, lulling us into complacency. Then FEBRUARY - always the worst month of the year. Blizzard of ‘78 - good times ;-)
Oh noes! A regular sized snowstorm in December!
A wicked pissah....
Just freezing rain and sleet here
WOR in NYC is predicting 12+ inches in the city...more in the suburbs.A foot of snow in Manhattan is a big deal...in ordinary times.But NYC is a ghost town these days so maybe it won’t be a big deal.
What month is this?
December.
And we’re talking about snow in NE like it rarely happens in December.
Snowblower gassed up and sitting on the patio under a tarp - first thing in the morning I clear a path out to the chickens. Chickens got to eat.
It’ll probably be 4-8 inches. They are always way wrong.
Well, Central NY here. No snow yet.
Weather dude says it’s snowing in a nearby county. Also has now updated my area from 20+” to 24+”. Why so much?
Sad part, the snow won’t be good for growing snowmen. :(
Union workers want their snow days

The head of the city’s largest teacher’s union, though, has doubts about whether schools should stay open if the city shuts down. Michael Mulgrew, of the United Federation of Teachers, argued that if the situation worsens to the point that the city needs to close, it would be irresponsible to leave schools open.
“The UFT fought to re-open schools – but only with the equipment, procedures, and testing that made them safe,” Mulgrew said in a statement. “If the coronavirus infection rate rises to the point that a citywide ‘shelter in place’ is necessary, keeping school buildings open would be irresponsible.”
