I feel lots of it has been driven by Tv hyper. Not helped by the weather channel deciding to name storms.

That said, I'm sure a republican politician will cite it as evidence that global warming is a hoax.

Oh no!

This reminds me that my kids would always come down ill during dire weather like this.... So to the nightmare of being unable to get out to the doctor & pharmacy for antibiotics to cure the ear, sinus, or bronchial infection, add the hell of having a miserable small person in increasing pain underfoot and only non-prescription remedies to give the poor tyke until the weather abates....

I thank the universe that my kids are all grown up now, and at the moment I don't even have a dog needing to go out into the blowing maelstrom for exercise & other essential needs.

Both our cars are near enough completely buried. Was out snowblowing earlier. The only thing I could see of my blower was the chute!

Meh..

Hyped beyond belief here. Maybe 18 inches max (drifts higher). Nothing we don't see every single winter at least once.

It's been snowing about 12 hours and we have 10-12" of snow so far. Another 12 hours or so to go I think they're saying...

It is very light, and there are very few power outages so far according to the CMP website.

If you wear everything you possess and go out and wade through the snow it's surprisingly lovely. The dog doesn't think so though.

Mine loves romping in the snow. He does not like high winds. So how cold is it?

It sounds relatively grim on Nantucket and parts of Cape Cod. And the Pilgrim nuclear power plant was shut down safely, according to plan. Any news from nuclear plants elsewhere in the areas hit by the storm?

Are you at home today on a snow day? Because I didn't notice an update in Nuteks Funny Picture thread?

23F here (-5 C)... Still snowing merrily, but the wind has calmed down a tad & doesn't sound like a freight train any more.

We've been doing LOT of shoveling.....

Same here - can't be arsed going out cleaning it until the snow has stopped and the wind has died down.

Reckon we've got about 24" with drifts up to car roof height - Proper weather

Yep - my pup's only 11 weeks and I think it's the wind that's frightening him more than anything. He's going to have to get used to snow if he's going to stay in Maine.

-10C here...

Our puppy is 1 week younger, and she only had 1 snow day, and it wasn't even cold 0C, and she basically refused to go outside, and wouldn't dare touch the snow.
