Who Is Ready For Some Snow This Weekend?

[Imzadi]

Work got canceled for me tomorrow. And I get paid for the day as they didn't cancel before 24 hours of the start of the assignment.

Getting 12-18 in. here in MA. Starting tomorrow afternoon. Best thing about this storm is I get another long weekend. School districts around me already cancelled schools yesterday!

Schools are already cancelled for Monday because temps won't be over freezing till Wednesday morning.

kudos to schools that take note of what's happening/potential to happen and calling it with some advance notice. I hated it when we were sitting at 6 in the morning to see if our school district had called a snowday. we were lucky, if the kids didn't have school it wasn't a major issue b/c we were home all day anyway but DANG-it was terrible for the parents that had to arrange childcare last minute or call in to work. for gosh sakes-we had multiple extra days of school built into the school calendar just for the purpose of being able to cancel and not extend the school year-so just let parents know one way or the other ASAP

stay safe, sane, warm and cuddly all

Oh boy… Elsa’s paid a visit to my town…

The snow is starting to fall in central CT. Forecast is holding with more talk of locally more so they expect banding. Mixing on the shore which is normal as they tend to stay warmer.

And just like that the snow is gone… eastern Virginia is Florida confirmed…

Upstate NY here. Snow started falling around 7 a.m. this morning. Still snowing and predicted to pick up to an even heavier snowfall soon. We're prepared. Expecting at least a foot, maybe 18" or more here by tomorrow.

Sounds pretty similar to here (NE Ohio), just a little behind us. Our snow probably started about 3am (our dog got up about 4 to go to the bathroom and we had maybe an inch).

I just plowed our driveway and I’d say we’ve had about 6 inches and it’s expected to keep coming most of the day, so we’ll likely get 12-15” I would guess. I’ll probably end up plowing two more times today, as my snowblower does well with 4-6 inches at a time, but once it starts getting near a foot, it’s got issues.

It’s a hunkered down sort of day…

11:20 am in Central CT. We've got 2 or 3 inches and falling steadily. Expecting 18 - 20 according to the more trustworthy hobbiest we follow. The plow has gone by once. They cancelled my Mon morning yoga class.
Fed the birds, have plenty of food (opps - no milk, or white bread ) and a generator.

Our catastrophic ice storm, 1-2 inches predicted, turned into zero inches and 1/4 inches of sleet.

Glad to have power.

We got about 1 1/2" of snow (forecast was 4-8) between 2p and 11p last night. Turned over to sleet/freezing rain sometime this morning and probably ~ 1/2" sheet of ice on everything. I tried scraping it off the drive, but it's a bear. Debating putting rock salt or something down, but worried even if that melts it, it's still below freezing (27F), so the melt won't last long before refreezing.

My yard stick shows ~ 2 1/2" of accumulation ice & snow combined so far.

Rock salt will work fine down to like 10F.
