NE Snow Storm

[Bella the Ball 360]

I live in Ma and just got up anybody got any info on the storm? I it still coming??

 

[MsDisney23]

Oh it's coming, so get ready! I am right in the path of the storm! Bring it on!

According to the weather channel, southern connecticut (where I am) can expect about a foot of snow my the end of the storm. DH has the snowblower gassed and ready and DS hopes to make some money shoveling!

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

So you guys are all south of MA ....mabye it will miss us .. I mean it is snowing here. I do not want another school day...please we will get out so late in June and the kids lose the momentum when they are out too much.

 

[arielsleepingbeauty]

i live in MA, just south of the cape and islands. We probably won't know what we will be getting until it actually gets here or not. You know howcrazy the weather is here in New England!!

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

I heard last night that the Cape was going to bear the brunt of it. I bet it will be like 3 inches by the type they are through hyping it..

I'm in New Jersey, just below Trenton. We have been issued a Winter Storm Warning from 4 pm Saturday through 1 pm Sunday. Most of the snow is to accumulate overnight. Expected accumulation is 6 to 13 inches.


Normally this wouldn't bother me. But my DH is in Chicago on business until tomorrow night. I have to pick him up at the airport tomorrow night at 7 pm. So I have to manage to take care of my 3 1/2 and 20 month old, and shovel the driveway out! Woo hoo! :lol: I'm not worried about getting the driveway done. I'm worried about the plows blocking me in! I may also get up in the middle of the night to do a little shoveling. This way the kids won't be an issue!

Ooops, just realized that this is a New England thread. Stay safe everyone!

I sure hope your right! I can't stand losing power, we are one of the towns that always loses it first. I'm going out this morning to see if I can get another days worth of firewood, just in case and I've got the scrabble & monopoly out just in case

DH was leaving for El Paso tomorrow for his deployment to Iraq and then onto Ft. Bliss. His Delta flight was scheduled for 6 am tomorrow. I called Delta this morning to get details on the cancellation announcements....just in case. Well "just in case" is a reality and the flight has been cancelled already. He is rebooked for the next day on a later flight in the morning. I am glad to have him home for an extra day but this means it will put him behind a week for Iraq. Which then means, it will put him behind for a week getting home.

This is my dream and I have it each time a plow driver blocks me in JUST as he sees me finish my drive. I dream that all the plow drivers are stranded and surrounded by snow(no food and on the other side of the snow pile is a huge banquet) they shovel and shovel and JUST as they are about to escape to safety, I drop 50lbs of hard packed snow in their path and they need to start all over again and this goes on forever. Of course I am standing above them smiling as I drop the snow just as they smile as they plow me in. Yes, I know this is well thought out but I have had way to many storms to dream about it!!

 

[tiggger1]

You all didn't have to send the darn storm my way, we haven't had any snow all winter, I wake up this morning and can't find my car!!!! You didn't have to share!!!!

 

[arielsleepingbeauty]

Just came from the grocery store, it was packed!!! I also went to Target in Taunton, MA and they were having a huge sled clearance. I bought a few of the saucer types for $2.48. They also had Boogie Boards for $4.98 and snow boards for $6.48. I am glad to be getting some snow, i have really wanted to take my kids tubing this winter. Anyone know any good places near Southern Ma? I am 20 minutes from Prov. and 45 from Boston.
