Looks like a good one is coming. Last weeks Nor'easter gave us approximately 1 snow flake up here. Lets see what this one brings.It's your turn[14" of flurries last week for us]...Mostly rain here on the Cape.The beaches are going to get thumped again.

Bring on the snow I need to make some money!!!!!

You got enough bread, beer, batteries, wood, chowda?

Its going pretty strong here on the western south shore of Long Island. Already a good coating of white stuff on the ground and its been going for about an hour. I don't think the heavy snow is supposed to get here until later today though.

The jeep is gassed up and parked in the lot, the beers are in the fridge with lots of leftovers and the giants are on at 4:15!

You got enough bread, beer, batteries, wood, chowda?

Beer might be an issue.Gonna have to make the noontime run.

I don't know. I'm hearing good and bad. I'm right on the edge here, just north of the Canal in Bournedale. Flurries coming down right now. This seems like a case where 1-2 degrees, one way or the other, can make the difference between a blizzard and a drenching.

Going oystering anyway this afternoon, snow or no snow--today is the last day of the season.

I'd go oystering, wish I had a license. you got some rain coming.

I can't believe it yet but Mr Sandman and ACK are going to see 50 F tonight according to the guys in taunton

The non-resident license in Falmouth is only $50, and their oyster season starts in October.

Here in Bourne, our non-resident license runs $175 and the season is only open on the Sundays of November and December. You always lose one or two days to bad tides, too. And this year we had one fewer Sunday to start with, than we usually do. Normally there are 9 in the period--this year, only 8.

Wet snow down here in Newport. Theres going to be a lot of downed branches, power lines and maybe a tree or 2 if this stuff freezes to the trees an the wind picks up

This century is only 10 years old so......not really a high bar set yet.:jump1:

Lol, good point Larry

Lol, good point Larry

i think THAT is your point~~~~

this could be THE one,,,,,,,,,,so farrrr!

Here in Dedham it's been windy all day, but the snowflakes have been small and dry - easy shoveling so far.

Just snowblowed the 1st 9" of heavy wet stuff, sleeting now.

Gusts to 35 last hour

bout 6" here now. Just did the driveway quick. Me thinks 4am is going to be brutal tomorrow.

had the classic dry slot backing in. should be intermittent rest of the night. Wundermap is showing mixed precip east of the canal, rain on ACK

About 6-8 here

Just cleared about 6" here when it switched over to sleet here on the banks of the Fore River in Weymouth. Out here in the open next to the river the wind has been crankin ! Had to be ready to get to work tomorrow boss is in Aruba and I got the wheel. (lucky bastage)
Weather says its gonna get cold tomorrow when the front spins the wind down and all this wet chits gonna be cement :fury:

Here in Hyannis....4-5 inches of extra heavy wet snow is contracting in the rain...blowing pretty hard though

33 here now. Bummer, mixed precip. That's it

Greetings from South Jersey.........24"or more on the ground now, and still coming down hard!! I've got drifts over 5'!!

33 here now. Bummer, mixed precip. That's it

huh? WHat are you in south mansfield? We're getting crushed. Wind and white out snow. Must be over 8" and comin down hard.

Just came in from plowing with the 4-wheeler, 8 inches heavy wet snow! Windy and white out conditions here too....

No problem.....

up again at 3:30 am high tide... was almost up to my house, entire driveway covered, dress out and move the cars to higher ground.. - great treat to live on the water :smash:

5" in Sturbridge. This things was way over rated as usual.

huh? WHat are you in south mansfield? We're getting crushed. Wind and white out snow. Must be over 8" and comin down hard.

Kinda hard to tell what we got here in West Mansfield,the drifts are up to 3' and some lulls about 10" I'd guess we got about 14-17":smash:Got the driveway and trucks all cleaned out.....Now off to work,it's gonna be a late day:wall:

8" or so in So Co. changed to froze rain/rain last night.
Wind woke me up several times. Gusts close to 50.

Beetle, you guys are showing 4ft of storm surge in that area, not including waves. good luck. should stay dry once the wind turns N and then NW

Buoy S of ACK is 27ft, UNH buoy is 22ft and the Bank is 23ft

huh? WHat are you in south mansfield? We're getting crushed. Wind and white out snow. Must be over 8" and comin down hard.

yeah, amazing.

we got about the same, 14-17" but had mixed precip, no real 3' drifts, the stuff is stiff and heavy. surprised none of the trees came down some are hanging real low.

southern ct right now maybe 10'' where i'm at but had winds up to 60 mph so snow blew every which way.still snowing hard and hopefully will end early afternoon.roads on interstates and local are all pretty much packed snow and ice because of winds.

Seen much worse but definitely significant, we got a lot at my house. I would say the 16 or so reported by SM36 is about the same here but we do have some drifts. Oh well , another winter has really started now.

I strategically aligned the cars in the drivesway so the Blazer can be used if the plow guy is delayed a day or two. He's a good guy but sometimes the conditions make it hard to get everywhere quickly. I tell him now that its only me at home and since I have the Blazer he should just worry about his other people and get me when he can. I'll be out when I want to be , one way or another. The Blazer is as good in the snow as it is on the beach sand , just go the opposite way with the tirepressure and it digs in and goes. I do 16 to 18 PSI on the sand but 42 in the snow, works well.

Heavy gusts as usual do to house location. I'm almost at the top of the hill between Abbot Run Valley and Blackstone Vally. Only 100 feet elevation but the wind really blows allong the two valleys and of course over the top.

We have no snow now but radar shows we are still in the area where bands will come through. I think 18 by the time it all moves out this afternoon. Good news is warm temps at end of week so we should have bare pavement soon. Living in New England , bare pavement in just a few days is pretty good as real storms go.

Just got done digging out. That snow is wind packed! Its not wet at all here but its like someone tamped it all down. Thats a solid 15 or so probably be 20 if the wind hadn't packed it down hard.

As of 11:00 this morning 23 hrs in my truck.
Snow tapered off but with this wind and the drifts it causes won't be going home for a while.
Tired !

no power the the impeller. gonna be diggin

thankfully, we got hardly anything here in Marshfield....

Monday 12 noon in Hyannis we have less snow on the ground than before the snow....nasty wind but no snow removal needed. I have a truck with two snowblowers and two operators with no work to do....bummer

Channel 7 reporting Brockton got 23"! All I know is that most of the time the snow was at or above the chute opening of my snow blower.

You got wasted Buzz!

It was like light cement. I had adjust my impeller belt, halfway through, Going to get another this week

No fishing this week.

Bottom inch or so was slush and as soon as you removed the top snow, if you didn't scrape the slush it froze solid within minutes. The snow plow banks having had the snow turn upside down were pretty tough to get through, many 3+' high and at least 4' wide at the base.

Glad I got a 10HP, 2 stage blower!

About 13 inches in Hanover! First 5 inches was snow...then a changeover last night for a couple hours....then another 6 inches on top of the wet slush.........was like a slush sandwich this morning and damn heavy to shovel! My neighbors were having a tough time with it in the snowblowers.......slush was clogging in the chute! We lucked out and had a neighbor with a friend with a plow come by and do most of the driveway!!! Thank goodness! Lost power last night for about 90 minutes so not too bad!!

I got the mixed precip here in Mansfield to, looked about 1030pm to be over, however, we seemed to have gotten another 6 inches after that.

Look at that vortex !

Above was GOES-13 taken at 1650Z 12-27-10 or 1150 today.

Geez, see the expanse of snow on the ground from GA. to Canada.

seen the vortex on the mid day news. Looked like a hurricane!

I just don't understand why the news had to be on for over 12 hours
It's not like we never got 10 inches of snow before

Because Congress is on vacation and Barry is living large on Kaui

And there is absolutely nothing goin on, except for that amazing stuff in Scituate.

Got about a foot down here in Philly... lotsa shoveling

thinking very hard about starting my own vineyard actually Bob
as the shelf life of a bottle of wine is indefinite.

i can't really tell how much snow we really got here because of the
winds redistributing it,,, blizzard snow flakes are quite small

I feel left out, didn't get 1/8" of snow on the water in Plymouth and I had the snow blower ready for some work.

alot of people are travelling for the holiday. This storm came a t a bad time for the holidays and people needed to plan. We have a bunch of plans with family and friends that had to be cancelled. I think we got close to 20" in mansfield, as others reported, heavily packed drifts. As of this morning, the roads where still awful.

It's New England. It's December. What!! You didn't expect this!.
Come on, I've seen worst storms that were not even forecast. This was a blip on the radar screen. No big deal.

Now the Blizzard of 78, that was a storm. 54" of snow in Burrillville. 14 foot drifts. They plowed my road after 4 days with a road grader and a 10 foot V-plow. Plus we had 18" on the ground from a storm 3 days before.

Well said. That's a storm. Not this little dusting. Hell, I was all dug out and cleaned up by 6:00 AM yesterday, I had maybe 12-14" with some 3 foot drifts. Not even in the top 50 storms I have seen up here.

The season is still young. The Pacific is very active. let's not ask for more than we can handle.

95-96 was was the worst year I can remember, I have a child to prove it.

I remember that year. I was working a consulting gig in Chicago. Got stuck there for about 10 days. Every time O'Hare would open, the East Coast would close. O'Hare closes and the East Coast opened up.

I finally said the hell with it and rented a car and drove home. If I hadn't been working I wouldn't have hung on that long but I was getting paid plus stayng at The Drake and had a $100/day per diem for food and drink so life was good.

THAT is a freikin snow storm.

The storm was over-rated. They suck but we have all (mostly) seen far worse.

We had 8 or so in Warwick. A bit more in some other locations I've gone too for clients.


I do love Rendell's quotes about doing calculus in the head while walking to the game.
