It really looks like this thing is going to explode and dump upwards of 2 feet of snow on Long Island. I've seen some forecasts for up to 28 inches but that is going to be isolated where the heavy snow bands set up. In those bands, you may get 3-4 inches in a an hour. There may be some sleet mixed in at times because of the intensity of the storm. Along with Thunder snow.
The big concern is, there could be 70mph winds. This is going to be dangerous.
I am expecting Blizzard Warnings either late tonight or tomorrow morning.
This is not something to be taken lightly. Long Island is going to be shut down on Tuesday.
There is a small room for error here with a slight shift in the track but most models seem to agree with the scenario I just pointed out. I will use this thread if any updates are needed by lowering or even raising possible snow totals.
One thing is for sure, this is going to be a dangerous storm!
Right now here.....it has turn to big fluffy snow again and the totals are piling up. Just had three high school kids ask if they could shovel....turned them away because of snow blower.....and fact we are still supposed to get 5 more hours of snow.....oh well......25 years from now...I will wish for those kids!

wfmz says 1PM it should taper off, but the wind will still be bad. I'm not sure whether to snowblow when it stops or now (or both)

I can always snow blow now and shovel later. Obviously I'm not going to the gym today so why not ??
F*ck winter. F*ck it so hard.

thats my acadia completely buried, giants tailgate cargo trailer top picture. Might even be 30 inches now
Boston not so much, the rain/snow line moved, but Worcester is getting slammed.
2 - 3 inches of snow per hour, 40+ mph wind gusts. 12+ inches on the ground so far, expected to snow until night. I had men's league hockey already canceled and my game is scheduled for 10pm. In 15+ years playing at the same rink they have never, not one time canceled. they hate canceling men's league.
have to find a way to get my dog outside, she hates this weather.

It has tapered off a bit so may go out in a few and try using the snow blower...but if the wind picks up...it could be wasted.

I think I have cabin fever. I am calling places to see if they are opened for lunch and not having much luck.
I cleared a path for my dog and that's about it.
going out now. Wind seems to be biggest obstacle.
Great forecast guys. Really, keep up the great work!

All done for now. Took two separate cleanings, but there's a fair amount to clean.

I will meet you at the Starlite diner for a crappy burger.
snowing sideways over here
Seriously, even the snowblower is bitching about this one.

Had that earlier today.
An angry, nasty, hateful snow globe.
So I end up running over their lead and now it's completely tangled in my snowblower. Any ideas? I tried untangling it but it's completely knotted up and now freezing. I'm thinking the best thing to do is remove the auger and untangle it by hand.

I did a similar thing with a heavy duty extension cord I forgot I had to a spotlight in the middle of my lawn shining on some wreaths on a fence around Christmas. I was trying to snow blow a path to my outdoor hockey rink. f-in spoiled kids. I should have known better.
I got a big pliers and some wire snips and cut off sections as I could unwind it. It took a while, but I was done snow blowing pretty much by the time I did it.
I was worried about damaging the auger.
Be very careful clearing out all that snow.
Probably the easiest solution if it's that tightly wound up in there. with the extension cord it was tightly wound, but I was able to get slack little by little.
yup - that was some heavy snow this time ... only about 8" in Brooklyn but it's a complete mess with all the sleet, freezing rain and wind as well ...
NYC has announced that schools are open tomorrow.

Clarks Summit, PA. Got at least 5 more inches after that picture was taken
My driveway is too damn big to even think about clearing it out with this much snow, it's a bitch doing it even with 4-5 inches even with a snowblower, have a buddy coming in the morning to plow it. I already did the steps and sidewalk leading to the front door and cleared a path for my dog, not doing anything else.
