NORTHEAST BLIZZARD - Live Thread - January 22-23 2005

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Cool - right near me!

Just went out and shoveled the walk. I know the wind is going to drift a lot back over it, but with more snow predicted this afternoon, I wanted to get ahead of things.

The party's been cancelled, and moved to tomorrow. We're not going anywhere today.

I think there's wisdom in that.

Long Island checking in! The snow has stopped, the sun is shining, and now the winds are really starting to kick up. (some very strong gusts) People beginning to venture out to shovel. We're waiting for our snowblower operator a.k.a. our son, to show up:)

La la la la la...

73 degrees and sunny here in Scottsdale.... Lovely.... Have fun with your blizzard, everybody....

Here in NW CT my snow guage only shows 5 measly inches, though with all the drifting it is hard to tell an accurate figure.

We definitely got a lot less that was forecasted in our area. It looks like the coastal and near-coastal areas got hit a lot harder.

Everything is all plowed and shoveled out and ready for a new week. :-)

Rochester, NY reporting:

What a downer. I was really hoping for another foot or two of snow so that I could justify not going into work tommorrow. We probably got about a foot and a half of snow, including the lake effect stuff, which is honestly not all that much. Three feet of snow might have been fun, but 18 inches is just... blah.

Looks like the roads are open and clear and looks like I'll be schlepping my way into work tommorrow. The regular drive will probably take twice as long. Can't wait...

I'll take my 3 feet of Eastern MA snow over Ventura County's June fog anyday!

For those outside of MA you'll get a kick out of this. The city of Boston cannot dump snow into the harbor due to environmental concerns. So they have to truck it out of town. Go figure.

Well that's rather moronic... given that if they left it to eventually melt, it would end up there anyway!

NY - The city that never sleeps.
Boston - The city that never thinks.

No fog in this part of SoCal. But 115 degrees can seem as oppressive.

[brooklin]

It's that way all over. Salt, anti-freeze, oil, etc... thank you dept. of enviromental protsction.

I lived off of Pierpont for years and every June and July day we were socked in with fog! You must be in eastern Ventura County!

When the center of the universe, D.C., gets a couple feet of snow, the media goes into high gear with 24/7 blizzard updates and it's a crisis of biblical proportions. I love the media.

I think there's about two feet of snow in my driveway *lol*

Actually, I was in Redondo Beach. A couple of "summers" ago I got so tired of the June (July and August) gloom that we moved to Palm Springs. The heat can be a bit oppresive in the summer here but it is only for a couple of months. The rest of the year it is just fantastic. Today is one of those fantastic days.
