hmmm.....sipping hot black coffee.....
thinking it's a trick question.....
I'll go with 12 but I reserve the right to change the radix of the number I gave you.
Think the snow is getting to me. The heart of the storm is about 100 miles due south of me now, near Martha's Vineyard. It's in the killer position. It's sweeping air and snow in from over the ocean, so we're getting max snowfall rate now. If the storm were to stall where it is the depth of the snow would be truly spectacular. Has happen twice since I've lived here.

Just logged on, and I havent read this thread....but I will symphathise with all of you on the "right" coast.
My husband and I moved to the Sierra Nevada mountains a little less then a month ago ; right before a two week snow, rain and ice storm that took two weeks.
We didn't have a clue--plus no television,no computer, and a sh*t load of boxes, etc.
God bless all of you, and good luck to those of you who have never lived in snow!

We'll get through no problem. This storm could not come at a better time, a saturday night with the playoffs the next day on TV. Not many guys are going to even get off the couch today much less drive anywhere. You understand now what real snow is.
When I used to live in NM I recall Taos as having over a 100 inch base in May!!! We also published pictures from Wyoming one year where they had like 20+ feet of snow. The snow "plow" was actually a gigantic snow blower that threw the snow over the steep banks on the side of the road. They were almost verticle and twice the height of this huge truck.

Not a trick question at all and you are correct...12 inches equals one foot.
It's still coming down,without any letup,here in Conn.,but U don't know if we'll get the promised 30".At least I hope we don't.
Good luck...up your way.
To: nopardons
I'm hoping this stuff just stops and goes away. I had cabin fever starting around Thanksgiving.
Depends on where you'd be in CT if you get 30inches. Down towards Mystic is probably going to get pounded. The real issue is how fast the storm moves out. One unreported facet of this storm is that the wind is supposed to be very strong through Monday, so as fast as they plow it, it will blow right back.

Guess I have the early watch. :)
Just heard a report that Falmouth on the cape has 22 inches already. They heard on the scanner that they report 7inches in 1 hour. (Just reporting what I heard, I actually find that hard to believe.)
Pretty cool incident just happened, on channel 7 Boston, a lone car pulled up to the talking head and asked directions to the local hospital and the talking head actually responded well, and didn't try to interview the poor guy.

Morning, everyone. Still under blizzard warning here in central NJ. Still snowing at 5:45 am. Weather guys predicting another three to five inches today and one to two feet overall. NJ still under state of emergency. It's a quiet, peaceful and beautiful view outside the window.
Hope everyone is warm, safe and ready for football.

I just went to my kitchen window, and was greeted by a sea of white.
Ugh.
Best get out my Columbia boots.

Weather east of Hyannis on CC is wild. Just listened to a fire engine and snow plow both stuck.
Wind now gusting to 50mph. 20+ inches of snow. The lights are flickering. I hope we don't loose power, although I expect to with this wind. I just heard that Marion, MA had a gust to 80mph.
For wx buffs, my barometer is 29.19 and still falling!
To: capecodderathome
MA had a gust to 80mph WOW!! .. stay safe

Right now we're getting pretty steady wind at almost 20MPH, with gusts in the low 30s, and we're 30 miles inland and in the lee of a hill in the direction the wind is blowing from. Been in this location for 11+ years now and have never seen it blow this bad. Fortunately I'm in a place that under these conditions does not get buried.

Great pic. You have to be a sailor. Is that a double low I see there? We just got into a band of snow and it's dumping on us.
FWIW the lights have blinked here three times so far. In case you don't hear from me for a while, we lose power a lot here. Plenty of vittles, candles, and a propane camp stove. Now if I can just think of a way of keeping the beer cold.
The saddest thing is my little cat who likes to do her business outside is going nuts. She will use the litter box, but really wants to go out. She's been out once already and was surprised how deep it was. :)

Wouldn't that be one of the easiest things to do?

Not sure what time the Eagles Game starts today ... but they (on the News) still are trying to clear the parking lot at the stadium
But they are promising they will be ready for the game
