been coming down for a while down here, started very light, but steadily increasing since it started... wind is picking up sooner than I thought...still cold enough for very light (dry) flakes, down here on the rain/snow battle line... as usual, we are to expect mixed precip for a time, but I am a little leery of that... I remember in past storms being so close to the rain/snow line that the difference in the changeover was the rate of precipitation... when the (snow) intensity picked up, it was enough to cool the warmer mid level layer and fall as snow ... I'm wondering if the intensity picks up before that warmer layer can fully work in that it might be enough to fight off the changeover... Looks like some heavier stuff about to work it's way onshore, we'll see what form it takes in a bit...

The fact that the sensationlistic weather channel is now naming winter storms based upon their own creations is beyond ridiculous. I am calling it Wally.

Started about an hour ago down here.

i live one block away from pt. jude lighthouse. first flake came down at 6:30. 4 hours later, not even a coating. 10 ft. seas, wind at 30+already. ene.............

Half to one inch, breezy, 1 mile inland from the Chucktown B-way.

stay safe guys

I have 28 degrees. About 1/2 inch of snow, and the tall spruce trees are barely moving. It's coming down pretty hard now.

Three buckets of sand/salt. Two snowblowers and ramps ready to go. Went to chiropractor before this marathon. Tightened down boat cover. Taped a yardstick to a deckpost to see it add up. Pick up my son with his gear as he is going out with me to clear nine houses tonight/tomorrow. Pass the next 15 hours turning plugs and sleeping.

Groundhog stew, don't do it! It will keep coming back on you.

No wait, that was the movie.

Didn't Bill Murray get stuck in a blizzard with Andie MacDowell.

it's still down off of NC. pretty intense, yet to come

think I'll take some Valiums and wake up on Monday

First band hit in woods hole around 8:30- started sticking at 10:30, we closed the lab at noon. Was 35 in truck, snowing like crazy. Got into Falmouth to pick little guy up at daycare, was 33. It's still snowing at the house, grounds covered.

Bad start here. The first few hours of light snow is sticking to every tree branch. That means the stuff will continue to those branches . I think come midnight or so the branches will be very heavy with snow when the wind gets cranking and that means power outages. We will see what happens.

Same here, very wet sticky snow...

Started snowing around 8 AM here, now 8 hours later we have a little over 2 inches on the ground.

Just tried shoveling the walk way. Stuff is like cement. Sticking to everything here too. Hope the snowblower will move it. Be careful of a heart attack any old bastards. Can't see the power staying on if it comes in like it is suppose to.

Al Gore should see this. So much for global warming. Gov. Patrick says we can't drive on the streets of the Commonwealth after 4pm. Very heavy and piling up fast here. The wind is also picking up. Got plenty of Jack Daniels and Cheez-its, the two basic food groups to last for a week.

Global warming means extreme weather. Not just warmer temps.. Drought, heat waves, and nasty storms. Seems like that's what things are like lately.

Al Gore is still a tool bag

It's so sticky it's covering 360 deg around the nearly horizontal awning poles. Like corn dogs...I've never seen that before.

LOL We had 6 to 8 in during the day up here . Now this thing is gonna dumb 2 ft or more LOL. Reminds me of when I was a kid in the 60's. We used to just hope for a good one so we could get the day off from school . LOLDon't need to stock up stuffs already there. Thank god for the internet an cable tv. Panic 101 LOL

Power on and off, trees down, and we're just getting the good stuff now...

power just came back on after an hour or so. friggin wind is crazy. Gone out twice so far.

Power still out, but just saw an Nstar truck out front!�� It's really nasty out now... Heard the top of a tree or a large branch go, thought it was going to hit the house... Everybody stay safe, think it's going to be a long night and a LOT of cleaning up...

Lightning!
Power out
Back on
Back to gold rush & junk food :-)
Gup

Either there's a chit load of terminators coming in from the future, or I am watching transformers blow up, like dominoes falling. That's the 3rd one tonight, and there goes my power.

Snow seems to have slowed here for now, wind is still howling though.

14" so far

woooosh, bang, boom, crash
I can't sleep.....

Just heard it's up to 410K without power!

He is more of a deluxe ball bearing 6' 2 piece tool chest these days... guy got big

it was snowing slowly (7 inches) with not much wind here in hartford county CT up until 8 pm...

Then bang! the last 3 hours have been crazy! high winds, strong snow and wind drifts measured in feet... Dont throw out your backs or burn out your transmissions!

I can't tell how much there is? Just finished the second round of shoveling, about 8" @ 8PM, a foot right now. But with the drifting, hard to tell. Easier to keep up with it than do all of it tomorrow....

Still raging up there. And from the radar it's not over by a long shot.

According to NWS we got 29 inches!

Town plow truck driver told me 30" at the Town garage in Burrillville

Still in San Diego. Flight was bumped from Friday am to Monday pm. Family ok, we didn't lose power. I'm dreading the return though as my truck was parked on the roof of Logan parking garage. Ill be lucky to identify the thing.
