I knew someone who had joined that migration to the Poconos; they described cheap abandoned homes (they referred to them as “walkaways”) where the buyers had simply returned the keys to the bank after the first winter. They never realized how expensive electric heat was, and oil trucks couldn’t reliably reach many of the homes in the winter so they didn’t have oil heat. Because there had been little there except vacation homes, there were no gas lines laid out.

That commute is exposed to too many delays to be reliable all week; I’d only think that works if the employee working in the NYC metro area stays with family in the same area during the week.

Since when do snow events get NAMES????

This one, named Kenan (KEY-nan) is great. One for the ages!

What a story it weaves, because not only does the word "text" derive from Latin meaning "I weave", but for those of us who remember

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town (Original release December 13, 1970), the Winter Warlock was voiced by Keenan Wynn.

It was when the Winter Warlock (Keenan) learned how to change from bad to good.

>>>

You never will get where you're going
If you never get up on your feet
Come on, there's a good tail wind blowing
A fast walking man is hard to beat

Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking out the door

Put One Foot in Front of the Other

It's all in the timing!

>>>The verb קנן (qanan) isn't used in the Bible but it appears to tell of the weaving of many strands into a dynamic and interlocked network. These strands may be reeds and twigs that a bird weaves into a nest, or it may be acts of trade and routes of commerce that together combine into a bustling economy. Noun קן (qen) means nest, and verb קנן (qinnen) means to make a nest.<<<

***

It is written in the Zohar that the soul of the Mashiach can be found in a palace called “Ken Tzipor” – the nest of a bird –

>>>

Why is it necessary for the Mashiach to appear through an evil person such as Balak? Knowledgeable people have discussed this question many times in the past. The soul of the Mashiach spends its time hiding in places where it would never be expected to be found, in order that the accusers will not be able to interfere with the process of his development.

Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking out the door!

(Okay, after the blizzard passes.)

Proverbs 10:25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

My brother reported that DC gt no snow.

Don Kent’s prediction for the Blizzard of 78 was, “chance of flurries”. It snowed for three straight days.

I was living just off of Revere Street in Revere during the 1978 storm. Our side street never did get properly plowed. Two days after the storm, all the residents came out and we had a snow-shoveling party. Portable radios were cranked up to WRKO (still a Top 40 station back then) and all the males on the street 14 and older just got to it. We were able to clear enough of a path to make it passable for a car. If cars were coming from the other direction, one of them had to back up as there was not enough room to go around.

The women and girls were keeping us fed and plenty liquored up. Homemade lasagna, sandwiches, even boiled lobsters that were fetched from nearby Revere Beach (thousands of them washed ashore and we put them in Hefty bags and toted them home). The radio was warning people not to eat lobsters that washed up on the beaches but I don't know of anybody that got sick from it.

A lot of vivid memories from that 1978 blizzard. I remember the National Guard coming down Revere Street with their amphibious vehicles. Helicopters were dropping food items into areas that were still impossible to reach by motor vehicle days later. The Revere high school was closed for three weeks because it was being used as a shelter. Many residents in low-lying areas had their homes completely destroyed by sea water.

That was the New England storm that all other storms are measured by. Some areas had 40 inches of snow but the main problem was caused by the wind and coastal flooding. It was basically a Cat 2 hurricane with snow.

As you can see from post 202, the thread title is for walkers and actors. :)

All of this, of course, are pictures from back in 1978. Want to clarify for those who think this is happening now.

One of the incredible things about 1978 that I read about is that the 1978 storm hit after the morning commute while everyone was at work, hence the attempt to get back home as seen in these amazing pictures. Add to that the high tide. Pretty messed up.

[VideoDoctor]

A foot of snow in January in the North East is now news?

I guess it is if you happen to be a "snowflake!"

[my4kidsdad]

You have a beautiful dog! Does he/she like the snow?

[aquila48]

I thought snow was a thing of the past, according to the Slimes...

[janetjanet998]

man that heavy mesoband has parked over the east half of Boston
and should remain stalled for the next few hours

27.8 inches is the record

but Logan airport is right on the ocean and often the official total is lower there because the wind just blows it away

[DoodleBob]

You’re welcome. Anything to pass the time away.

[cgbg]

I am having that today.

The front door has a lot of snow in front of it.

I went to the side door to shovel out the side deck, and there was almost nothing to shovel.

[nevergore]

My wife and I were in Aruba when the 1978 storm hit….. we booked through a travel service that contracted its own private jet to shuttle its customers from Washington DC and the Island…..

The storm hit the the evening before we were supposed to leave….my wife and I I had packed and set our luggage outside the door for the Porter to pick up and we went to breakfast by the water…. Got back to room after breakfast and noticed our bags were still there…. So I went to the lobby to find out what happened….. The staff had several TVs tuned to US stations and were very excited about the snow catastrophe hitting the Eastern seaboard….

The Charter plane was stuck for 5 days before coming for us….

The Travel Agency paid for our hotel and we stayed another 5 nights….

Best vacation EVER!

Don Kent’s prediction for the Blizzard of 78 was, “chance of flurries”. It snowed for three straight days.

Don Kent was the preeminent Boston TV meteorologist at the time. His forecast was probably the main reason everybody went to school and work that morning. I still remember our first period math teacher gloating that the storm was going out to sea because "Don Kent said so." Which was a buzzkill for us thinking that we were going to get out of school early.

Backing that up was the fact that at 11am, the outside temperature was up to 42 degrees. Definitely not a temperature conducive to a major snow. An hour later, it dropped to 31 degrees with howling winds and we were being hurriedly herded on school buses.

I don't remember Don Kent every getting a lot of grief over that completely blown forecast. Harvey Leonard (rookie at the time) did become a legend however.

[Jim W N]

Cool story. You guys lucked out.

[rktman]

Any updates on tornado ‘Walter’? These people are nutz!

[MHGinTN]

Smartest virus ever!

[HandyDandy]

Welp, that storm was heading in the direction of going out to Sea,.....then it stalled and just stopped overhead dumping snow all the while and then, like a true Nor’easter, it turned and came back from the direction of north east and hit us again! I remember drifts of 12 feet of snow. I was north of the city and lived and worked about two miles away from each other. I walked home from work that evening along country roads. Along one stretch of roadway, aside an open field, the wind did it’s best to knock me over. As soon as I turned the corner the wind against me stopped and I realized the drifts on that stretch were 12 feet high and shielding me from the wind. It was like a sand storm, except it was bitter cold and white. Of course I was young and invulnerable back then......

"Think of the great snow cover your side-garden is getting, though! You won’t need to water that area until August, next year! ;)"

You would think! But in 2015 we had 100'' of snow in one month, and the snow was about up to the windows sills by the garden. I should take a picture my Samsung S6 that was given me goes from 100% charge to no charge in about 3 minutes. See what I can do later, by the grace of God. https://whdh.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/01/18.png
