Well... snow blower started and checked out, fresh gas with conditioner, shovels on the porch, plenty of salt, plow guy all set to go, generator tested and ready, oil in the tank, 2 full tanks of propane for the generator, plenty of food and drinks. I am ready. Even my body is ready to go. It's a freakin' miracle.

So now that I have gotten all that in order, just figured I would share so you all would be able to relax... because it is absolutely positive that none of it will be needed. Heck the power has only been out for two hours since I put the generator in 2++ years ago. Garanteed.... no need.

Is your doctor, or hospital associated with the Ronald McDonald house in any way? My suggestion is to ask, and then go to Boston tomorrow and see if you can stay there at least until after your appointment. People are allowed in there even though they don't have cancer. My wife takes her father to Tufts quite a bit and one appointment was late. They offered them a room.

Almost there, when these two app. are done I should go on the list, then my brother can get tested, if a match we move to transplant.
Guy next to me at dialysis got a call sunday to say they had a kidney, he was wow!! 1/2 hour they called back said the donor did not look good when they opened him up so no deal. What a let down, but at least knowing that after 3 years they are watching the list!! They say hes near top now!!

Hard to tell here in west warwick some really big drifts 4' to 5' and had some bare spots, not sure of the actual totals but considering its been snowing almost 24 hrs i will agree.

Im just outside of hartford ct. Stopped snowing about 10 am and sun pushing through thick clouds. Forecast was 24-30" but we ended up with about 14" some bare spots, some drifts.
I have never been so happy to see 14 inches of snow since i was expecting waist deep. And power stayed on

Probably have 20-21 inches so far. Another 3-6 to come. Wind driven drifts make it hard to pin down accurately. Been watching neighbors clearing, only to see the wind fill it back in. We haven't left the house... Might head out to at least clear my drive and vehicles so as to get an early start tomorrow. Told all my customers that it would be Wednesday before I got there anyway. The wind just wont quit here on the coast.....

Probably 2'+ with bigger drifts out here on MV. Wind was roaring..60 at times. I don't shovel (all vehicles I own are big 4wd's)but I had to clear the furnace vents and drains, they were partially buried. Never lost power. Wood stove and pellet stove kept house 74 deg all day. I was downstairs making plugs all day. :)
This past year they replaced all the electric poles with big heavy taller poles and re-rigged the power lines so they very well supported and above all the trees. They also did a lot of heavy trimming. Everyone (except me) was complaining all summer about Nstar putting in eyesores and that they never asked the commission for permission to do that. NSTAR told the commission...we don't ask permission, we do what we want these belong to us and that pissed them off and it was back and forth all summer. I bet they are happy they didn't loose power now. (probably not actually, they are morons). My local 'hood is underground and the cable to the island is underwater so it is only the few miles that we have an issue.

I haven't exited my house since about 9 last night, and really there's no point. My street runs east/west and a snowdrift averaging 4-feet deep is running the entire 200-yard distance. No plows yet, and until they come through there's not a car on this street with any hope of moving. Crazy.

beamie
01-27-2015, 09:22 PM
Guessing we have about 2 ft here in Marshfield and still coming......

Hard to believe we haven't lost power, hasn't even flickered.....usually in many parts of Marshfield losing power always is an issue. Maybe they have been doing better tree trimming.

Jenn
01-27-2015, 09:55 PM
They predicted 2-3 feet here but if we ended up with a whole 6" I would be surprised (hard to tell with drifting but I would say maybe 4" total on top of the 4" from Saturday) I do love snow but would rather it in VT than here even still. Either way I still cant help but feel let down that EVERYTHING was over-hyped for our area and closed for nothing! Forecasters really blew it for my area! What a waste too that last night between 9-10 P.M. the plows went through (yes with blades down) 8 times in one hour and we barely had an inch at that point! Even considering the fact that they did each side of the road once that's still 4 plows, both directions in a hour...no clue what they were plowing at that point. Completely "over-hyped" and as a result a huge waste of resources.

the snow was so fine and blowing so hard it came thru my window
screen in the bathroom like finely shredded cheese.
No sense trying to clear it under those conditions.
Today, i will begin to "dig out" my cars. can't even see my wife's volvo.
this will take several days. My dog has gone blind with cataracts
and i dug out a spot outside the back door for her to go
but she couldn't understand the walls of snow towering over her
bumping into them in all directions like a pin ball game.
the snow is over the top of my chain link fence.
thank god it's Fluffy texture.

With the duration of this storm amd wind i am feeling very lucky taking the drifts into account i would say we ended up with 6".

I spoke with a few folks in the north and they were telling me they were approaching the 3' mark and that was mid day yesterday hope the storm ended favorably for them as i have not heard from them yet..

Glad everyone is ok, bless them plow guys! Wish my son was not one of them so he could dig me out

How did the power to Nantucket get cut?

Nantucket has their own generators. I heard a sub station on the island fried and caused the generator(s) to fail and a cascade problem island wide of some sort. (But this was hearsay)

I don't think they have a power cable to the mainland but they may by now. MV has 3 conduits that cross the sound. Every 10 years or so one goes and they need to replace it. A couple years ago two went and it was peak summer load. They had the on island back up generators and a lot of portable equipment running all summer. These things are B I G. I think Obama had one just for him. I recall a few years ago a big boat (a mega yacht)anchored in the sound and snagged on to one and actually pulled it to within sight at the surface before figuring out what he just did. That caused all kind of issues.


I bet NE has a mini "baby boom" of sorts next Oct/Nov :humpty: with all this time off.

I am junk. Cleared 12 properties.... Started at 0530. Son was on the shovel doing stairs and breaking down banks and snow that was over the Ariens scoop. He did a great job. And made a good day's pay. I just hope he can show up tomorrow before his afternoon classes at Salem State. Need to do a second sweep at a couple properties from today, a couple nightmare driveways that have called just today, and get two flat roofs cleared. Given the forecast for more snow Monday, I need to make sure this storm's snow is properly placed, especially on the one way streets in Old Town....... This is State St. Maddies on right.

Ross - that must be a friggin nightmare in old town!

We got hit hard in Rockport, lost power for 24 hours. If I was living here permanently I would go out tomorrow and buy a generator and hire an electrician to get a hook up to the main fuse box to keep the heat on - it will be the first winter prep thing I do in a new home.
My neighbor across the street has a generator, which saved all of our asses!

I just ordered a single circuit transfer switch for 81$ ( Reliance Controls TF151W 1 Circuit Transfer Switch) that connects my generator directly to my oil furnace and circuation pump. No need to hook up to the cuircuit panel. I have a generator and have run cords into the house for household items, but have never had the ability to run my furnace. With baseboard pipes prone to freezing, im not risking it anymore.

MANCHESTER-by-the-SEA, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man has found a way to profit from the several feet of snow in his yard: He's shipping it to people in warmer climates for the bargain price of $89 for six pounds.

Kyle Waring, of Manchester-by-the-Sea, got the idea while shoveling snow earlier this winter and launched ShipSnowYo.com.

At first he shipped 16.9-ounce snow-filled bottles for $19.99, but he found the snow melted by the time it arrived at its destination.

So he came up with a new plan, selling six pounds at a time. He tells The Boston Globe even if the snow melts a little by the time it arrives, the package can still make 10 to 15 snowballs.

He's also started offering 10-pound packages for $119.

He says he'll keep selling until people stop ordering.

I have had it with snow and effin ice.
Last nite weather men say coating to an inch with no real accumulation. Woke up to 5-6" more white fluffy crap. Manage to blast away with snow blower and not fall as my driveway is an absolute skating rink. Finish. Go to push the snow i brushed off the snowblower off the driveway and take a major digger and dislocate my shoulder again. Fell sunday nite and dislocated it then too. AGONY. Surgery cant come soon enough. Eff fishin and hockey. I just wanna be pain free
So now i am runnin late for work and still have to go do wife s grandmothers house before i go to work and she has to go to dialysis. Stop by a iob site to grab a couple of tools i was gonna need at another job today. Slide on ice pulling into driveway. Cant turn or stop. Smack into granite post at end of narrow driveway. Moosh my 2 yr old bumper in so that it is jammed against tire. Cant drive it. Have already spent 4 hrs with scissor jack and comealong trying to push/ pull it out. So gonna try and have AAA tow it to my brothers in kingston to help since i only got 1 arm. Well tow comany calls and asks if they can do it tomorrow as they r pretty busy????WTF!!!!!??? Now AAA iust called me back while i am typing this and ask if it can wait till tomorrow as say it is gonna be a few hours before they can get any tow company to come get me. Is this a joke????
Gonna take a perk and use the snow for the only thing its good for. Freeze my shoulder.

They need to change wednesday from "hump day" to "crash day"
I am at a job in fallriver for about 25 minutes this morning. Come outside and the tenant is standin on the porch smokin a butt and asks if the big tan chevy truck is mine. I say yeah why?
He says cause it just went sliding down the street and smashed into a parked car which in turn slid and smashed into the next park car. WTF!!!
Sure enough. Mashed in guys POS camry bumper. Even though i had wheels turned in at curb and left 2 spaces between me and him it slid pushed towards the snowbank and just followed it right down the hill like it was on train tracks
Had cops come and he said its what insurance companies call an act of god accident
At least i was able to locate the limited english speakin person who owned the POS. Gonna cost me more than car is worth
2 weds in a row for the front end of my truck takin a beatin
I just cant buy a break
