Then you are gonna get all you can shovel....or so they say! The stores are jammed with people stocking up for the big storm!:uhuh: I went down to Red Top to pick up a few Habs 2 oz. blurple needlefish plugs to get me through the weekend......and they were the only thing that sold faster than shovels!:laugha: :hihi: :laugha: Just kidding...I am gonna find shovels today easier than I will find a Habs needlefish. All reports say we are gonna get blasted, the snow fall totals are rising by the hour! I guess I will just hunker down and spend the weekend on S-B.:bounce: :jump: :hf1: :jump1: :biglaugh: :kewl:

using my nasty wood workin skills to make a wicked fast sled, old skiis on bottom, these things go way too fast.

Gotta bout an inch in less than an hour here. BIG wet flakes.

Just you wait, the best is yet to come. We got an easy 5-6" fluffy and pretty on top, wet and heavy on the bottom. Still coming down at a pretty good clip. Still no plows in sight, so the town must think we got more to come or they'd be clearing the secondary streets. Oh well, driveway's done for wave one, got a fire roaring, Harpoon Winter Warmer and Sam Adams Winter Lager chilling in the garage and the cheesesteaks are done and warming on the oven waiting for my victim to chow down (oops, that was a thread from another forum!?!?).

We are up to 2-3" in 2 1/2 hrs (is this going to be a boring winter or what !!).

Looks like rain and wind for the weekend

NECN just raised it's total 15-30 " , that's quite a spread there.Hey remember yer mailman,make sure he can get to yer box and it's always nice to ask if he'd like a hot drink and if he fishes, leave him a plug in the mailbox or if he doesn't fish you could just send one to me....:D johnny "the Ratt Boy"

You weren't sh%$@tin Jimbo. Got 4" down now and snowin hard. Big wet stuff, mixed with some rain.

Ugh. I guess it's finally over :crying: :crying: :crying:

:D I love the snow...we are gettin about 8 to 10 inches...:D


I loved the snow falls in Rockport...When we lived there....:( We want to move back there...some day...

Guess there's nuttin to do but shovel...and surf the web. Sure ain't gonna be fishin. :laughs:

Oh I HATE snow! Gonna be an interesting winter! Got the case 'o beer on the porch chillilng as we speak....one for each trip around the driveway with the snowblower! If it snows like they say it's supposed to, I may be twisted before it's over :D :smash:

pisrfcstr - Funny you mention mailmen and fishing.....mine saw all my fishing rags and asked me. He's big into striper fishing so we go every now and then. (not to mention I get my mail first now too)
:laughs: ;)

Bob Thomas- If it snows like they say it's going to, ya might need another case!;) :D

Theres this blue heron hanging out at the waters edge in my backyard for the last couple weeks.
He just stands there, all day. Every day.
Now he's there tonight.
Whats he doing, standing there at night, in the middle of blizzard?

If he gets any closer, Ill have to kill him.

I guess I better Haul Out!

Whew, close call. Got about 5" and then it changed to rain. Now 40 deg and blowing 40+. They say the backdoor could give us more. I see the forecast for the mainland heading west and north is for quite a bit to fall.

What are some of the totals you folks have been seeing ?

were getting full force pooped on right now.

My mailman is an avid striper fisherman also.
Good luck and stay safe to all letter carriers and all our civial servants.
It is nasty out there now!!!!!!

Love the snow, but it CAN STOP now! Still snowing here...

Im gonna be shoveling for 2 hours, with all this stuff!:lossinit: :exp:

..was out running service calls last night till midnight....was a @#%@!%! WHITE-OUT!!...flakes coming right at the windshield making you feel like you weren't even moving :af: :af: ..did my best to close out the calls hoping today would be a breeze :af: NO SUCH LUCK!!...service calls flowing in. Back to the grind!!:af:

Be safe everyone-

How come when ever it snows and you go to the store you see everyone buying as much as bread as they possibly can fit into a grocery cart? No peanut butter, no jam, no cold cuts, just bread??

Steel I often think the same thing, I went grocery shoppin yesterday, and it was NUTS in there....I never panic...But people see the snow and think OH MY GOD!!!! we are going to be snowed in for a month...Hurry go buy bread and milk!!!

And then there are people like me who go out to do the NORMAL shoppin and have to fight with people for a dang loaf of bread....:af:

I stood in line for almost an hour at the store...:eek5:

Thank god for 4 wheel drive:sled:

How come when you go to the store you see people buying as much bread as they can possibly fit...........


Maybe they wanna go feed the ducks ?

:laughs:

Beach..my mother actually does that:rolleyes: she thinks their going to starve:smash:


:laughs:

We're supposed to get WALLOPED tonight. :err:

French toast???

You can see moving brown objects further away:uhuh:

Bring it on!!!!
The waves are crashing over the seawall here in Hull

Package store, ya wanna see busy? Man we love it, panic city, empties the shelves. I get 'em going too, keep the weather channel on loud, 'cause they hype it up, plus I tell them stuff like, better get plenty, gonna be a two bottle storm!
Plus, having a bread and milk store right next door, our lot is jammed, with a few flakes in the air.

haha Karl...your bad:D

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!!!!!!!!

:( :D :( :D

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain........ :D :D :D :D :D :D .

:) to all who love snow. I love to ski and snowboard, etc. but hate it where I have to work. One main plow out here, that's it.

41 degrees and raining until the backdoor opens. Forecast is 2-4" with falling temps Sunday night.

:cool:

still snowin here 28 degrees...plus as a added insult from mother nature:eek: high winds:splat:

I'm more worried about rain/sleet that freezes over. :af:

Ummm....yeaaa thats bad! :(

...then it's time to break out the ice picks, the sledge hammers, thermite explosive, and the flamethrowers to thaw the drive way out. :devil:

Either that, or skate to work. :laughs:

i pick the sledge hammer:jump1: hehe...

neighbors were giving me dirty looks for shoveling with my korkers on :laughs:

hey thats a good idea!!!

:laughs:

ahhhh, the many uses for corkers:D

Actually, they're more useful for walking on slippery ice than hopping on a rocky jetty :laughs:

Apparently they were first invented for roofers...

My driveway has about a 25% grade----Korkers aren't just a "good idea" they're a necessity :laughs:

Screw the neighbors--they can't see me anyway. We don't even get trick-or-treaters cuz my driveway looks like the "Road to Nowhere". :D

:laughs:

isnt that a....song...by the cars? i think...:confused:

:laughs:

Last year the neighbors did draw the line at me trying to break up an ice patch with some gasoline and some matches.

They got me a sledgehammer instead. :laughs:

You think I'm joking? :devil:

:shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:


:laughs:

Ben---I know you too well to think that's a joke :laughs:

MSF---I'm more from the "Stairway to Heaven" generation, maybe that's the reference I shoulda used ;)

:laughs:

The snow falls hard and don't you know?
The winds of Thor are blowing cold.

:smash: i get stuck watching "Finding Nemo" most of the day, its my kids favorite movie::ugh:::smash:

hopefully it stops snowing so i can go shovel and throw my kids in the snow:devil:

:yak:

1) Lock, Stock and Two Smokin Barrels

2) Snatch

Same producer or director or whatever, similar movies, but both very good.

:yak: i have the same feeling when they just get done watching it, and then ask to watch it again!:smash:

i have to tell them Nemo got lost:eek5: :wall:

sponge bob squarepants :laughs: :hihi:

:bounce: i love sponge bob :D

Sponge Bob is my favorite! I remember when they were showing previews of the cartoon before it began airing and I thought it was the stupidest looking show to come down the pike! When it came on I watched it with my kids and now I like it more than they do!:laugha:

FishWeeWee...love John Carpenters version of The Thing but I still like the original better! There is just something about older movies and the simplicity of them that makes them enjoyable to watch!:kewl:

" Sponge Bob Big Fish." It has a nice ring to it.:laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha: :laugha:

Mrs,WeeWee,

Man you guys have done some writing here. Zep, movies, etc. :D

40-45 with higher gusts right now. Supposed to be windier tonight and tomorrow.

Been raining hard. Snow is almost gone.

Ass-Ter-Card.....we don't take American Express!

I'm back, everbody got their mail and I was treated to find my kids had shoveled the driveway for me when I got home:D :D ,I wonder what they did wrong while I was gone:confused: I hope it snows all day tomorrow, good excuse to sit in and watch football, GO PATRIOTS!!:) johnny "the Ratt Boy"

Rained all night and all 5"is gone (it was 45 deg until very early this morning). It is 37 degrees out and raining with slushy snowflakes thrown in. Temperature is supposed to steadily drop (vineyard is 30 and snowing). Us and the outer cape might get anywhere from 1-6". It's gonna change over to all snow any hour now.

This is the backdoor, I guess. Cold air spinning around the backside of the low. Winds are now NW 40-50 and they are supposed to get stronger. Always the chance of losing power on days like this :(

The word is that some of you got some big snow. Many Vt and NH ski areas are reporting 2-3' this morning. Sweeeeet.:D

I don't know if I can hold out much longer. The boat has run about 3 of the last 9 days. Have a res for Wednesday night with a Friday return. Work, unfortunately. All my dreams of fishing on LI is going up in smoke. Winds are looking to be firm but hopefully not to. I'll just run out of time and energy.

I just keep working and smiling. Kind of bummed about the backside snow. I golf a little and kinda wish the course would have stayed clear. It is now but it doesn't look to be good golf weather :laughs:

Boredom ain't so bad. I had a fun dream last night that I caught a 30-40lbish fish on an eel in one of our brackish ponds.


:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

a Mike Jackson,,,, what snow :D
the rain was pissaH, like I would shovel anyway.
Im surrounded By water to Ya know:D

About a foot and a half here in Abington, blowing and drifting like I have not seen in years! Last night was the worst I have seen since the blizzard of 78! White out conditions so bad I could not see the tree 10' outside my window! Lost power about 10:30 and was worried about how long it would be out? A tree limb came down on the wires across the street from me. Power was restored about 2:00 am which was good because the temp in the house was down to 60 degrees. Still snowing to beat the band here, and blowing....lots of heavy looking branches! Gotta go cook breakfast while we still have power!

27" on the ground, still snowing....
It's a peppermint schnapps and hot chocolate kind of day.
Bag to shoveling til MOnday....

Now who ever said you weren't you slacker.

Shovel as little as possible. Pray for rain. You know the drill. I don't even own a snow shovel anymore. Broke friggin 2 of them LAST friggin winter. If this is the set-up for most of the winter then I'll take it. Let em have their snow. We want rain !

It's feeling like it wants to snow but still rain here.

I bet you got some water in the haba lately. Over the bulkheads and into the shacks here ...... Islands washing away :)

thats right

Holy sh$%t dude ! 27" ?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

my skis are smiling at me and the games on ....Go Pats !!!!!:D

Yep, All I have to do is wait till Thursday when it's gpoing to rain. I can walk to 7-11 for my Wonderbread... Besides, I already cut up all the snow shovel handles to make more plugs!

nice

holy crap got lots here, 4 ft wall of snow put up by the plows in front of the cars. it aint gunna be fun shoveling today.

Not a ton o'snow here but enough
Hey Tagger...Got skis????

Me thinks we got very lucky down here. We'll see what the rest of today brings. It looks as though the majority of the moisture has pulled north andis sparing us the backdoor. Had a trace this morning when it changed over but it has stopped and now it is 34 deg and blowing 50.

:)

WE are about to enter the danger zone. Cape has gotta be in it.

Temps here: 33 deg and RAINING. Cooling rapidly. Water EVERYWHERE. No snow, LOT'S of water :eek:

Oh well. We are about to get some snow. Almost made it....:(

boston public-CLOSED tommorow!!!! wooo hoo!

Right around 24" here:af:

me arms be a-hurtin.

waiting for this thing to fall off my house.

Some stranger just plowed out the end of my driveway, my wife calls out someone is plowing our driveway, when I got to the window, all saw was the back of of ford p/u driving away.
Life ain't bad, thanks stanger.

Finally got it cleaned out. That is enough snow till next year. And yes i know next year is in 3 1/2 weeks:D

Looks like we are being spared. Incredible close call. Great Point is gonna see more snow than anywhere else out here.

Spoke to a friend in Chatham and he says it is coming down pretty good there. Back door just missed giving us a few inches. Thank the lord ! Not a measurable amount of snow anywhere (yet :( )

Man, those are some photos. You folks have some snow ! :eek:

I hate snow a lot... think weekend sucked. no computer..no phone...baby shows on satillite nothing good on...even ticking my sister off wasn't fun.. and plus on top of all of that.. I had school today where everyone else in the area didn't.

:af: :af: Just plowed my street again...:af: Will have to shovel again in the morning just to get out...:af: Maybe this should have went in the grumpage room damnit
