Central PA updated forecast from 8”-12” to 2-3 feet. It’s 20 degrees with steady snow not much wind yet. This could be a record event for my area.
On a side note-The birds must have known yesterday. They emptied the feeder in one day, prior to that it lasted 2-3 days.
it looks pretty dam bad outside my Staten Island window.
i’ll send the cat out to check it out :) jk.
if this were election time, Chris Matthews would “love that blizzard” for making obama look like a leader, even if there were a few silly deaths involved /s
0509 hrs, still nothing here at exit 5 route 84 in New York.
All snow seems to be southward from here.
Don’t know exactly where snowline falls.
Radar shows snow on top of me at moment.
5:15AM in Carroll County, MD and we have a foot now. It’s powdery - blowing everywhere. I’ll wait until it is light out to go down to the barns. It’s so light that it has piled up on the shrubs but the branches are not bent.
We strung ropes from the house to the fence, and between fence lines, so if there is a whiteout while we are in the barns we have a guide back to the house. I hope that was done with an overabundance of caution, but better to have it and not need it...
Looks like we’ll miss the blizzard here in Tampa, but there’s plenty of severe weather warnings. Here’s one we should all take note of:
IF YOU BECOME CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...DO NOT PANIC. REMAIN CALM
AND BEGIN TO SWIM PARALLEL TO SHORE. ONCE YOU ARE AWAY FROM THE
FORCE OF THE RIP CURRENT...BEGIN TO SWIM BACK TO THE BEACH. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO SWIM DIRECTLY AGAINST A RIP CURRENT. EVEN A STRONG
SWIMMER CAN BECOME EXHAUSTED QUICKLY.
Food is running out. Won’t last muc
Icing here in south central NC. Pine Trees got weighted down with ice Friday and in the late afternoon when the wind picked up the branches started breaking off.
Got two 10 footers down in our yard. Neighbor has one blocking his double drive. Many more all over town.
Smart folks move their cars out from under pines during an ice storm. Our are all in the garage or street.
Grateful to get 4 inches of snow and NO ICE, which was what we feared, in southern TN. Now it’s just cold and quite windy. It’s an inconvenience for a couple of days.
I feel bad for all who are getting hammered up north tonight. Watching coverage on tv and it’s looking ugly. Now they’re saying it might be worse than originally forecast. I hope everyone in its path weathers the storm well. It’s definitely more than an inconvenience.
We left the March early yesterday but didn’t get far before traffic was a standstill. Stuck in East Providence Pennsylvania. Doubtful we will get home (Michigan) any time soon! Ugh! The radar looks exactly like it did when I went to bed!
We’re safe, so far, in northwest Delaware (up in the hump). Got all the essentials for an extended stay (beer, wine, liquor,water, food, etc.) Good that we have this storm; forced me to check again emergency lighting, radio, batteries,etc.
snow falling quite well here in JC, NJ no wind yet. at almost 6am.
With all the wind it’s Hard to figure out exactly which flakes are actually “my” snow.
Guess I’ll wait until tomorrow to shovel.
We are fine so far. We are right in the middle of it, southern new jersey. Nothing is moving on our street, I believe it’s impassable. Thankfully we still have power, although it’s going to be a long day. Our blizzard warning still has another 24 hours or so to go, until 10am tomorrow morning.
We’re in Franklinville, NJ, in Gloucester County near Atlantic County (South Jersey). We have about 8 in so far, with heavy wind. Forecast says all day like this.
Southern MD (Calvert), couple hundred yards off the bay, mix of rain,sleet, snow midnight to 4am. Back to snowing now, winds not really bad yet. Approximately 10 inches on the ground.
Southeast PA: lot of snow being driven by the wind everywhere. I’m going to need to open my front door and shovel at least around there, in order to keep my outer storm door able to open.
One positive aspect of the wind is that it’s keeping snow off the tree branches and utility wires.
Hi Everyone! Biggirl from Greater Hartford CT, the one who posts the major conservative talkradio show hosts threads. Not in the blizzard area but will still be getting snow. Be SAFE northeastern FRpers and God Bless!
35 mile long cars stuck in snow Kentucky
In South Jersey (Egg Harbor Township). My guess is around 5” and growing.
Shoveled the deck and stairs so dogs could go out. Will do driveway and sidewalk after the sun comes up.
Stay safe and warm.
