On its way... Wind is howling too, on CT coast here, power still on

[Slarti]

a oooo, were wolves of london.  a oooo

[In A Silent Way]

I hear sleet blowing against the windows. It sounds like when you drive over crumbled asphalt.

[Slarti]

were wolves of london again

[ladygingechilla]

Power not out yet. Weve got about 5inches of heavy wet snow, stupid winds and a pine about to take out the stairs on my deck... Hoping the roof holds! Mmmm a vodka cranberry sounds perfect

[Terrapin Station]

Wow is the wind picking up here on the middle of the island. Some of the wettest snow/sleet I ever shoveled. Shits heavy...going out every hour to skip the 12" +stuff.

[tyedyedee]

Well Gonzo later of you want.

perhaps! i will be off and on probably

 

 

 

my house is shaking pretty hard

i am on the 3rd floor and my windows are caked with blown snow and man, is this house getting a good rattling!

 

its so eerie, you can hear a gust of wind coming, it sounds like a freight train

 

we are likely gonna get thundersnow here too...its so cool!

[In A Silent Way]

I'd like to do another round of shoveling, but not while the ice pellets are blowing around.

[Slarti]

I'm heading out I'll take care of it for you.

[Terrapin Station]

Yeah, almost need safety glasses.

[Mama Kel]

I'd guess we're at about a foot. I'm leaving it till the am. We've got a snowblower

[tyedyedee]

just heard thundersnow - unless something blew up in town

[Terrapin Station]

Might be a good idea to hit it atleast once before bed, this is a BIG wet snow.

[capt_morgan]

we're totally assed here

[Jwheelz]

in the face?

[sarah b.]

In the faceass. South-central nassau just has some icy glaze on the road.

[capt_morgan]

yea...i think rocky point is the epicenter of the faceass in LI

[nancykind]

starting to dry out here already, they've scaled back the predictions to only another 6" or so

[Terrapin Station]

This is a weird as storm...sleet, then snow, then sleet, then snow. It doesn't wanna make up its mind. Def Assfaced.

[capt_morgan]

its been non stop snow here...no rain...we're about a foot now

[elder]

it snowed pretty steady all day, about a wet 5 inches I shoveled.

 

then it practically stopped for awhile, thought to myself wouldn't it be nice if this was it.

 

now its snowing upside down its coming down so hard

[Terrapin Station]

Yeah I heard north shore has had all snow. Would take that rather than the sleet mixed in. Effin heavy I tell ya.

yeah man, seriously heart attack snow. I was pretty light headed after an hour and a half of hauling that shit.

 

tomorrow I'll just have to take my time. probably have to move another 10 inches or so.

[capt_morgan]

super wet snow

[sarah b.]

Barely an inch or so here. Nothing falling, at the moment. Hopefully nothing else will fall, overnight.

[Terrapin Station]

Yup. I've been out 3 times already. Gotta keep up on it or I will kill myself tomorrow. Every time I go out there's another 4".

[Terrapin Station]

Only medical and emergency vehicles allowed on LIE and Sunrise hwy in Suffolk County.

[In A Silent Way]

I measured 19" in a couple of places, and 25" banks where I'd shoveled my walk earlier.

It seems like 4" fell while I was shoveling the walk.

[Terrapin Station]

Cars are trapped on the LIE. They sent in hummers and they got stuck.

Sending in snow mobiles to get the people now.

Only only on lolongisland.

[Goodvibrations2013]

I drove all the way into Work tonight..only for Corpoate to tell me a few mnutes later...sorry..you should close...go home..drive back through it all.   Man.. corporate   ugh

[chefjeff]

I fell asleep at about 10. Its 1 am now and the snow is halfway up the windows in my ground floor apt.I love it! Cars outside are buried

 

 

Cake!

 

Chefjeff

[TheDHJ]

500,000 without power overall.

[chefjeff]

Chefjeff knows how to weather a storm!

[manzanita stark]

Only about 4" out there. Not uncommon for this narrow valley. I'm sure the hills got much more.

[tyedyedee]

hard to tell?

 

one area has over two feet of snow and another area looks like a dusting - all cuz of the wind and drifting

guess i wont know the extent till i get out there later on to shovel...

 

i have a window on my second floor that has windblown snow up over half of it, then the window around the corner (more windy) has none other than spots of blown snow...

 

weird storm...going now to see what the news-type folks are saying

[Tabbooma]

s

[Tabbooma]

Still snowing and Tabbooma no like shoveling

[u.s.blues]

not as much as was forecast, but still too much in my opinion.

[Jambear]

Got up at 4am to do some snowblowing and at least 20 inches from the ground to top of blower.

 

Snow is blowing in drifts so i would say 16-18 average at present.

 

Still have power too

[August West]

2 to 4

[nancykind]

8" light and fluffy and very little left on the roof because of the wind.   

[Depends]

Word of warning...  If you live in an older (20+) house, make sure the exhaust from your furnace is clear....

[scarfire]

about 8 - 10 at bromley mountain in southern vermont. only 5 degrees but the wind is howling at 9:30am. 

 

disappointing to say the least as far as ski/riding conditions are concerned.   

[TEO]

Around 6", this banana belt living is good for some things.

[Tim the Beek]

Hard to tell...maybe a foot, but there's lotsa drifting.

[seany]

About 8" up here. No complaints

[elder]

Just got done shoveling the additional 7 inches or so. 2 and half hours to do mine and my neighbors.

 

Glad I went out last night and shoveled those first 5. I also tarped the 4-runner, which made snow removal of the roof simple.

 

Proper planning made this mornings cleanup  pretty easy peasy.

 

Time to play!!

[cassady]

between 28 and 30"

 

5 ft drift in front of garage

 

snowplow got stuck at 5:30 am

 

i ain't going out there yet, nope, not gonna do it
