How much do you have on the ground?
We got maybe 3 inches today and it quit snowing for a while. It’s started again, just a few flakes falling lazily down. No winds to speak of, but i do need to get out and shovel myself.
I remember the days of lake effect where it would snow 5 inches an hour and by the time you had cleared the driveway once, it had almost 6 inches on it again for you to start over with.
Nor’easter snow is wet and heavy. It looks like there’s another storm in the works for early next week.
If you guys don’t get some warmer weather to melt some of it before it rains, you’re looking at an ice storm and flooding. One of the causes of ice storms is warm air moving in and causing rain, before the surfaces of everything get to warm up. Since the trees and everything are still below freezing, the rain freezes on contact.
We have 2 inches now, and the snow has picked up. I’ve yet to do any shoveling.
I can’t tell how much snow we got altogether this time because we kept clearing it, piling it on top of the old snow. After I shoveled last this afternoon, there looks to be just another few inches more snow on the ground since then. (I’m relieved.)
Some offices and the local college decided to close tomorrow, and the library won’t open ‘til late. But, I’m supposed to be somewhere tomorrow, so I hope the roads are clear by then.
