It’s Snowmageddon!! The media will have a stormgasm!!
I left Connecticut at 7:10, and drove at a fair clip to get back to Manhattan by 9:30 this morning. Parked in front of my building, took in the luggage, and by the time I came out it was snowing.
So I put the car in the garage, where it will mostly stay until March, and walked home in the beginnings of a blizzard.
We now have only a couple of inches here, but it is snowing pretty solidly.
The worst part of so much snow is getting my driveway plowed in by the plows.
After all that shoveling, the hardest and heaviest part of snow is what the plows dumped in front of my driveway.
Luckily, my Ford Explorer can usually just plow through it......after I of course shovel away several inches from the top of the heap!
Amtrak cancels Boston-NYC service amid snowstorm

DC-New York service has not been affected so far.
I see the guvner of Massachusetts (25 degrees; flurries) has jumped to the head of the line for stimulus dollars by declaring a pre-emptive state of emergency. Guess that’s what they elected him for. Was probably not even born in the winter of ‘69.
“Thunder snow” predicted for Massachusetts, with snow falling at 2-4 inches per hour.
It’s started here in southern New Hampshire just in the last hour or so. Steady light snow, no wind yet, and visibility is still good.
Real purdy so far...
Snowed in Jacksonville, FL this morning.
Nothing stuck.
Your thread title gives me an idea.
All of this snow is a big “Shovel ready project”. They should take from the stimulus funds, and give the unemployed jobs shoveling/clearing snow.
However, I doubt many people would sign up. They would rather stay warm and collect their checks. Might get a few takers from those dropping off UE.
That’s what we conservatives like to call, hope and change in global warming theory.
FINALLY!!
Obama’s “Shovel Ready Jobs” are here - shoveling snow!
They upgraded it to 18”- 24+” north of Boston, some areas as much as 30”.
GUESS WHAT?!!?!?! The planet’s got a fever! And the only prescription is more cowbell!
Warm globally, cool locally.
Got a light dusting in Columbia, PA. Nothing significant. :( I was looking forward to a good workout.
Flew United from Dubai into Dulles this morning. We broke through the clouds and I could see city lights for miles, what a relief. Now I’m sittin at O’Hare, perfect flying weather but the plane is delayed. I rather thought I was home free there for a little. Onward to Minneapolis and a happy New Years!
