We're right there with ya Andy...

Total snow fall the last 36 hours is 12". We're supposed to get 5" more on Sunday.

And it's 4 degrees outside this morning.

All I can say is 5 Days 23 hours till I'm in a plane on my way to MCO!!!

We made the news this morning. Boxford hit the jackpot on this storm. Over 2 feet of snow. It's around 10 degrees right now with wind chills around 0. Looks like we are getting rain next week so the warmer temps will be welcome. Said on the news last night this is the coldest it's been here in 3-4 years.

To my northern friends, stay safe and warm.

Bring it. I will be the one in the wet suit.

He's got you there.

Not quite -17 here, but it is cold! Only got about 8 inches of snow though, not too bad.

Stay warm friends.

Hey Paul, over 2 feet just a little but away from you. Stay safe.

That's about what we got. The MA coast got hammered.

Looking at the flooding on the news. Other than the snow, it's not too bad hear. The coastline is getting slammed with high tides right now. Still not the worst storm we have seen in the last few years.

It's odd how much less we got. I'm only 30-40 minutes from you, and Boston as well, but we got much less than both.




Not complaining though.

Just got word that we have another storm coming in tomorrow night through Sunday that is supposed to dump 8-12" more on us!

And then Monday and Tuesday we're single digits with negative lows at night.

Did you get lucky enough to get playoff tickets?

Sounds like you need a snowmobile.

and good morning to you to Norm

Morning Shawn.

Does anyone else find it ironic he he running away with the taco? Didn't he just have a taco in the house?

I'm with ya on this one, not happening as the dude is not getting out of the house let alone with a smile and taco in his hand.

I haven't seen the taco commercial, but it sounds like the marketing campaign is working like the talking dog one.

 

[that's nice]

When were you going to tell us you moved to Antarctica. LOL

 

[scott2997]

that's what it feels like!

In all seriousness...this will be the most snow that we've seen around here in a couple decades!

I know what you mean. We've had a few decent storms the past 2 or 3 years, but nothing like this.

Just saw an updated weather map showing 8 - 14" for our area. That combined with 30 - 35 mph wind and then a couple of back to back days with a high of -10 is just more fun than I can handle right now.

I usually make fun of the people going to the stores before a storm, but in this case, I think we'll be making sure we've got everything we'll need for a few days. I need to get the generator out tomorrow and make sure all my gas tanks are full.

Yep! We've got milk and bread....and enough pork and sauerkraut to last us a week! Heck, we can make our own gas!

Ouch! Supposed to get more precipitation in a few days. There is some confusion on whether it will be wet or frozen. Right now leaning toward wet I think. That means at least 33 Degrees.

Sounds like you need a snowmobile.

I would say so! Actually we sold ours a few years ago since we got so few chances to ride. Wish we had them today, would have been fun.

Stay warm and safe guys. I figured this year was going to be a little on the cold and snowy side for us based on the last few years. We went out today to get some milk and stuff. grocery stores were empty since everyone already shopped for 6 weeks on Wednesday.

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

Aw c'mon...seriously with the stocking up? It's just a bit of winter weather......

 

[twokids0204]

Good morning!

Had about 6" of snow yesterday and more on the way this weekend. They're talking like these next few days could be some of the most severe winter weather around here since the blizzard of '78. I missed out on that one, but I've seen pictures. Not too excited.

Here's what the temp was driving to work this morning. And they're saying it won't really get cold here until Monday.

Brrrrrr....

No playoff tickets. Actually our company gives up that opportunity.

Yeah, that would be fun.

And, what about just buying tickets on your own? Or, do you think the Chiefs are going to win one on the road?

 

[AirGoofy]

Interesting. For our Spring Break trip this year, we got the Incredibles announcement, flash drive, and magnet of reminder dates. For the Fall Break trip, we just got the announcement and magnet - no second flash drive.

Still pretty cool....

How many times to I have to tell you folks up north to shut the door? It's cold outside!

...and if you shut it, it will magically become warm. I wish.



Looking at record setting cold over the next few days, don't forget to check your emergency kit in your vehicles (blankets, candles, high energy snacks, etc), check on your neighbors, and stay safe Dads. There are people depending on you.

Um, they are too expensive. I have some other stuff I have to pay for.
