After most of the blown forecast this winter,
I'll believe it when I see it !!!
But if it does, I'll take it !:grins:

Late Saturday night or Sunday? You might be plowin'

I'm off all weekend. Looks like I'll be a drinking! Like I need a reason.....

Not looking good for the guys going to plugfest:eyes:

Based on latest, Plugfest should be fine. It's getting home afterwards thru sunday that looks nasty.


Saturday Night
Late afternoon flurries then full snow develops. Turning heavy and steady esp. after midnight. Winds increase. Winds: NE 10-25+ mph. Lows: 17-26.

Sunday
Nor'easter! Near blizzard conditions early? Tapering by afternoon. Winds: NE to NW 20-30+ mph. Highs: 21-32.

Looks like it's going to be here Much Later

forecasters here are still scratching their heads, compooter models say it could track north, or south of us, still have not made up their minds... maybe they will tell us whats gonna happen... when its over....

Figures
They just want us to watch more comercials to lead us on.

Looks like I'll have the shop closed this weekend.

Hope you guys are right or i'll be needing a bunch of dogs and a sled to get back home from the plugfest.:shocked:

With the easy winter we've had so far odds are we will get hammered before the end of winter. This one could be it.. On the other hand it is usually flurries that have the schools closed for a week....

Winter Storm Watch almost everywhere and Blizzard Watch along the CT coast. They better not drop the ball on this one, putting up a Blizzard Watch is pretty serious. The last time the map looked like this the Nor'Easter of '05 was bearing down on us.

That reminds me. What happened to Todd Gross anyway? Why is he out as Chan 7's Chief Meteorologist and Pete Bouchard in? I went to ToddGross.com to find out. I followed the links to the "Support" thingy message board, but it said had to have Yahoo account to get in there and read the 1000+ messages posted in December (I assume they explain what happened). I had the Missus put in her Yahoo name, and next thing ya know, her Yahoo mailbox is stuffed full o' crap. Nvere pursued it further.

He got canned for hyping himself too much.
I dunno, checked out his 5 day... daytime highs Saturday 35, 37 on Sunday.. how do ya get a foot of snow at them temps?.. Todd, I always thought he liked to make amountain out of a molehill.. we will all know for sure by Monday AM... just like always.

Thats a beautiful picture

Yikes

ya, :rollem: you ain't kidding yikes


OUCH my back :doh:

for the cape

Well, we have food in the house, plenty of firewood, some wine, gas in the cars, and nowhere special to go tomorrow or Monday. And a neighborhood full of kids, and hopefully one or two who would like to make a fast 20 for shoveling ;)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow :bl:

I don't know about where your new house is but in my neighborhoods , kids apparently don't shovel or mow lawns anymore. They all drive nicer cars than me and I never even see them cutting their own lawns , mush less hustling around to make some money.

Anyway , I
m preparing the same way. plenty of everything in the house by shopping today and if its bad , I'll stay home and watch John Wayne reruns tomorrow! :)

I got kindling and firewood...plenty of food...a good book............and a wife who is mad at me:uhoh:
I hope it goes by fast so I can go back to work on Monday

:bgi: Poor Slingah....told you you should have gone to PlugFest today to get out for a few hours....now you are stuck in all weekend!:uhoh:

I have to be in Nashua by 10 am tomorrow; I'll be in the belly of the beast. Gonna leave here about 7:45, that'll give me time enough to go 20 mph if I need to.
Got a full tank in the Avalanche and gonna get a good night sleep.
Plan is to run the restaurant with 1 bartender, two waistaff, and nobody in the kitchen (including dishwashers!!!0.
Just spent like two hours in local gracery stores...you'd think is was Armageddon tomorrow!
Oh well, later.

Rhody has a blizzard warning now, this is the 1st blizzard warning i can rememeber for RI, dont think the storm last year had one either.Blizzard Warning saying 10-18 in w/areas up to 2ft!!
