Blizzard warning stops at the state line.
 

Winter storm at CC O'Briens in Pawcatuck, but a blizzard on the other side of the mighty Pawcatuck River.:uhuh:

Hitting 18" in Newport is gonna be easy...
 

I woke up at 6 AM and opened the front door while my 1st cup of starter fluid was brewing...saw some guy walking down Thames St in near white out conditions, the poor SOB looked like Shackleton leaning into the teeth of a gale...:shocked:

Won't be able to open the back door to let the dogs out until I walk around the building to shovel it out after I finish my coffee...:mad:

I'd have to say we've got an honest 14-15" by now if not more judging by the snow on top of my wife's Jeep out front - with drifts pretty much bunghole deep to a 10 foot Indian...:hs:

Winds are a steady 30 MPH - Ch 12 said gusts of 50 were clocked here during the night

That's it for now from the Lower Tems Weather Observatory in Newport - stay tuned for updates

I would say we have 5 to six inches. The wind is blowing hard, and there are drifts over two feet in many places.

Crafty said "Bunghole"!:rotf2:

today is cancelledb due to snow

Only got 2 inches here........but over there is about 14 inches so I don't know how much snow we got?:confused::rotf2:

My driveway is looking pretty intimidating right now.Don't exactly know how much but when I shoveled the steps and a spot for the dogs the snow was right up to my knees.

Took my aleve and glucosamine/chondroiton.I guess its time.

Man, it's cold out there...this isn't going to be fun digging the cars out.

Supposed to still snow for another few hours.

I'd say we did get a foot, but it's drifting all over.

-spence

I'm procrastinating,not good.I need a really motivating speech right now!

I'd wait.

Let it melt, let it melt, let it melt!:rotflmao:

14" and rising in Orleans.7 bird feeders packed with birds.Flytying table at the window is "up & running".Tenderloin steak,eggs,columbian coffee,red potato home fries w/red onion,green& red peppers.:uhuh::jump1::uhuh:SKAROOOO the shovel!!!!

Gimme 6 hours and keep a plate warm for me Bob! I am on the way!:drool:

If anyone knew what Sir Ernie looked like walking into those teeth, it must have been the Chuck, the Photo Geek taking the picture :rotf2: .

Looks like about a foot here, based on averaging whats on the left and whats on the right.

20 bucks says no neighborhood kids will be around to shovel for $20

About 10" here in Cambridge. At least it is light.

Buried in gansett! Looks about foot and a half of snow. Couldnt open any of the doors, wifes car is buried in a drift. Looks to be about 2 ft on the roads. My parents in portsmouth said the plow truck is stuck on their street! Heh. Dog had a hell of a time bustin a leak in neck deep snow. Then i noticed it was bloody red! How am i gonna drive the dog to the vet in this? Then the makers haze cleared and i remembered i had fed the dog a bunch of beet skins last night.:rotf2:

Maybe all the plow trucks are stuck in Middletown too. I can see what appears to be evidence they came through early in the storm but nothing since.

Be safe today everyone, I don't think any emergency situation can be addressed very easily until they get the roads cleared a bit.

Even the main roads look like crap here

I wouldnt go over the bridge, f that

15"+ Mansfield still snowin

matunuck 18". starting to ease up. what ever happened to the kids who would shovel you out???

Eddie, those kids who used to shovel were us - and that was a long time ago, amigo...:doh:

Besides, if you think a kid is gonna go out and actually work shoveling when he can stay inside with PlayStation...pfftttt

I've got my sidewalk down to bare pavement, sanded & salted...:musc:

THe tale of the tape is almost 19" in the lee of the house, no drifts

My bride is making a chourico omelet right now while I take a break and have my coffee...:)

Hey, who knows, it's kinda romantic, maybe with the blizzard and all I can play Manwell, the lusty Portuguese gardener and she can be Mrs Smithington, the bored Newport socialite...just like we used to...:heybaby:

Hey, it could happen, ya know...:hee:

My driveway is barely 3 car lengths long.
A kid with a snow blower wanted $60 to do the driveway and 30 ft of side walk.
Told him I will take 5 aspirin and do it myself.

My friends and I used to make a killing shoveling driveways when we were kids. We had one lady we would always hit up first. She would always give us $120+ to clean up her driveway. Also work is cancelled!!! Yeah! Doesnt matter really though as my road still has 2ft of snow!

I wish it would snow here
