snow!?!
 

8-12 inches expected here in s. new hampshire according to the weather channel..not even close to being ready for this stuff yet, but hopefully a lot of it doesnt stick seeing as the ground isnt frozen yet

10-15 inches predicted for western MA.

LOL and my snow blower is still in the shed.Behind all the rest od the winter stuff LOL

Buckle up boys!!

Looks like SKI season is going to start early.

Bring it on wooohooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so not ready.....
but i did have a Tom turkey visit yesterday
what does that mean?
tallest turkey i have ever seen
camera was MIA (sorry)

Just saw the latest predictions....12" + for my area.

I feel like Adam Vinatieri just lined up a 60 yard field goal and hit me square in the groin! There is still so much to do to get "ready" for winter. This just sucks!

At least I am not alone -- going out now to winterize stuff -- Have to clean shed first to make room -- Gonna be a great day -- ARGHHHHHHH What happened to the fishing season -- we take it for granted when it is here

Tper

found the camera stashed in the fishing gear
i'm still planning to go out on the boat again
even if i have to break thru Ice... (thin ice)

But, i'm totally Jazzed right now
because i never did my off season maintenance
on the old snow blower and i just today got it running again
with last seasons gas still in it. heh heh heh I Win!

Go toro go

just did a survey
 

:devil2: it looks like its gonna be real bad
due to the type of snow were getting

wet and sticky....

and the fact that the trees are still
fully leafed out. it's only a matter of time
now before you start hearing the snapping
of limbs and out goes the lights.(power)

i have sagging branches now that will soon be touching
the ground that are normally over your head :rollem:

gonna stay west of 495 for a while, NE wind is going to keep it warm here

Lost power at 330. Already got dinged by .a big oak branch. Just replaced the roof 3 weeks ago, took a corner off the house. Gunna be a long night

You can already hear trees snapping in the woods here.

Power has glitched a few times.

Just went down to check out the beach down in S Plymouth - up on the cliffs. I could lean out into the wind like the old peppermint patty commercials. Crazy wind and pounding rain.

Hopefully the surf will dig out the reef that got completely buried by the last Noreaster of last spring. Flattened out the whole beach and filled in all the deep holes. Not worth a $h!t since the reef disappeared.

Anyone think there will be anything left in CCB after this one?

Had a limb go straight thru the new over-hang on the back patio.... bummed

Looks like a Lowe's run is in order for tomorrow.

snowing pretty good up here. trees are already touching the ground. won,t be long till lights go out.

16" plus already and still coming down hard.:doh:

Might be 2" on car here is Leicester, VT

powers back on . Only a couple inches of the white stuff but still snowing. Lots of rain mixed in.We lucked out so far .

Spent three hours with the chainsaw just to clear the road so the plow can come. Still have a bit more saw time in the yard.are there any predictions as to when power will be restored in central Massachusetts

Lots of branches breaking all night. Thud thiud thud all night on the roof as snow globs fell from trees. lost power at 4:45. Came on at 12 PM. Still need to survey the damage around my yard but at least nothing appears to have fallen on the house this time.

What a pain in the butt !!

800 foot driveway. 54 trees down across it. Just finished cutting and dragging. Been at it since it got light around 7.

I think we're still in our pajamas here in Tiverton :hihi:

-spence

Wow! 54 downed trees. Now that's a mess!

Still no power here. 25 hrs so far. The hum of my neighbor's generator is making me sleepy.

dogs.

Lost power last night for a while but came back on first thing.
Gusted well over 60 here.

One big maple down it hit the side of my camper, the side with my rods on it 4 rods toast. We lost power at midnight last night I was able to get my broken generator going so it's been running sense 4 PM we have no cable either

Just another fall noreaster on the Cape. Rain, and wind, 35-40 sustained w/gusts to 50-60. Nothing out of the ordinary. Didn't see a single downed tree in my travels today.

woke me up at 3:30 AM, not sure what wind speed was, but it was a constant freight train sound, I think the strongest winds lasted til about 5 AM here, but continued well into late AM.. couple of oaks in my yard snapped, fortunately nothing hit. Lots of dead limbs and twigs down everywhere.... took a ride around town, CCBay was angry just after lunch time. and the sounds of chainsaws was abounding, saw lots of trees down around Orleans.

I bought a Gererac 8500KW, electric start, 4 110, 1, 220, $800 delivery included. Had the house panel wired for the generator. Bingo, lost power. Started the Generac. No problem.

only about 6" at my house.. killed my dog wood... I'm going to try and graft the main trunk back together, I sucessfully grafted another section about 10 years ago.. this time it's pretty bad... no major pine boughs.. ... the whole neighbor hood has been without power since 8:00 saturday night... lights and heat at my house curtosey of my 3500 watt Troy built.. it's enough for a few lights, heat and TV...

I fueled it up and checked the oil this morning before work.. hopefully power will be restored when I get home from work..

Lucky, only 5 hours down. What a way to get the leaves off of the driveway............snow blow them !!!!!!!

MATTNOYES.NET - NEW ENGLAND WEATHER ANALYSIS: New England is far and away the jackpot for historic snow, many towns still digging out in the dark

Is grafting when you drill a hole between the split sides then bolt it together? If so, that method worked like a charm for my inlaws dogwood after one of last years late snow storms. I was seconds away from ripping the other half off, when my father in law said he was going to have it bolted. I never thought it had a chance, but both sides flowered and it looks good as ever.

I once had a burning bush shrub that split due to weather, wrapped the trunk pieces back together tightly with duct tape (use #1001) and in couple seasons was good as new. It has now been at least 15 years since and never split again.

did the same with a spreading yew 2 years ago. Still growing fine.

Got about a foot here. My sister in the hills towns got 2 feet. so many trees down I wont even go into it!~We just got power back about an hour ago after being out since saturday afternoon. We were one of the first to get it back and the rest could be up to a week. First thing I did was let the house warm up, second was wash dishes, third was a nice long and hot shower :love:

Tried to be a good trooper and got double duty from my camping gear but needless to say I am very happy to be warm again!
