Big winter storm on the way!

Any snowfall would make Comrade de Blasio happy, as it reminds him of Mother Russia.

And this Officially Sucks.

How bad is it up there, mirth?

[mirth]

As advertised. High winds , heavy snow. 11F, windchill is -21.

Dayum. Stay safe and warm. Hope the electricity stays on, though I imagine your system is more robust than ours (our power goes out in broad daylight with nary a breeze).

NY news is now saying 4-9" of snow. Yesterday the asshats were reporting 3' or more...but of course they were. I was thinking that meant the entire storm was a farce but apparently that just meant that the brunt of it missed NYC.

Heaviest snowfall is supposed to be a corridor from the LI forks across the eastern 1/2 of CT and right over Boston all the way up the ME coastline. I'm on the western edge of that corridor and I think W8aminute is smack dab in the middle near Boston. Mirth, how far are you from the coast?

About 2 miles. Forecast is 18-24". Expected to stop snowing sometime in July.

Mirth, aren't you right under the "24"?

Yep. The top of the 4 is on my house.

Wow thats intense outside.  My house is 8 miles north of downtown Boston right about where it says 30 inches and I believe it.  Threw the dog outside and for the first time he refused to go he normally loves the weather in the worst elements (he is a 130lb Swiss mountain dog with a double fur coat) but this time he just came immediately right up to the back door and howled to be let back in. 

I have set up a drop cam recording the last 24 hours I am going to try a timelapse see how it turns out.  Thing is its pointing at the neighbours across the street and the 50mph wind gusts have whipped most of the snow off their house depositing it on mine...winter is a dick!

Once y'all dig out of the snow, you guys should totally organize a New England-area GrogHeads meetup.  There's like 10 of y'all spread out from Hartford through to Portland.

Winter is a total dick. Any of you guys in this shit, don't fuck around. This is the type of weather that will kill you. I'm used to winter, but this type of storm makes me wary.

Hunker down and stay safe.

I'm down with that.
