It wasn’t bad until the sharks started falling.
It is beautiful here today. We didn’t get a ton of snow, maybe six or eight inches, and since it was dry and powdery, the snowblower made short work of it. Now it is 22 F and sunny and everything looks like a winter wonderland. By the end of the day it will be gross already, but right after snow, it is pretty.
They closed everything up here. It was ridiculous that we go into such a panic over a little snow. It’s Albany, it snows up here, yo. The Snowmageddon was a bust, at least up here. I heard that jerkwad guy from CNN was driving around NYC in a “blizzardmobile” and snow-worthy cars such as a Toyota Prius were bypassing him. 
The worse snow, IMO, is the wet and heavy snow, because it just exhausts you to clean it and move it.
No power outage.
Heh. That’s exactly what I thought of when they started talking about snow falling 3 inches/hour yesterday ![]()
All told we got 26". I got today and yesterday off from work, with pay, so it could be a lot worse.
We got about 20" here in northeast Rhode Island. Light fluffy, wind driven 4-5 foot high drifts that the wind blows everywhere as you snowblow and shovel, making you go over it again later…grrr
I am so glad to hear that; I have a little camp up there.
Not down here; 30 inches is a real storm.
True, we didn’t have the highways packed with parked cars, or even taking several hours to drive ten or so miles; I don’t think anyone died trapped in a car.
I could get used to this shutting down the roads for a day or so.
Checking in, still in one piece. A few cozy days stuck mostly inside. Lots of cooking, lots of blowing snow outside. It’s hard to tell with all the wind and plowing, but they say we got 25-30" in the Boston area.
I’ll still take some emergency chili and cheesecake, though, if you please.
Less than a foot here; can I still qualify for cheesecake?
