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!
Just bear in mind: while it may drive through the snow better than a 2-wheel drive, it doesn't STOP any better.
Lucky for you tator tats just happen to be the greatest food ever created.
By comparison, I live in Columbia, where they sometimes close school at the first flake. So I could have a situation where my kids are off but I'm not. Then there's the question is my street will be plowed out in time...
So many hundreds of millions would literally die to change places.

I wouldn't count on anything with this storm for the DC area. It's right on the line. A small shift one way could mean little more than a dusting, and the other way could mean a snow burial. Forecast confidence is not high here at this point.
Hey bud, I live in Springfield. Shop rite is a freakin zoo. I mean it is everyday but more so now.
Anyway, fuck this storm...the city is such a disgusting mess after a blizzard. Perplexed by those who are excited. Snow is terrible unless it's under my snowboard.
Pro-tip for bachelors: Tinder/Bumble are scorching on blizzard days. Should name the storm Panty Dropper. If work is cancelled, may as well meet up with someone and get drained.
The tradeoff is you don't see the sun for a month.
Toys or reading the book
Well, the Blizzard of '78 affected 55 million people and we didn't get a head count. Hurricane Camille in 1962 affected 50 million people The blizzard of 1888 probably affected 30 million people. Does the number of people affected influence the severity of the storm?
Do we really need the overly dramatic lead in?
Having to spend time with your child. How horrible fo you.

If you like that, you'll love some of the estimated productivity losses coming from computer malware infections. I'm surprised they haven't started publishing numbers in the trillions yet. Apparently the only reason there's starvation in the world is malware.

Ohh she's awesome, but being inside all day absolutely blows. 15 degrees all weekend and now not being able to take her out tomorrow is a pain in the ass. Closed daycare when it's not 25 and snowing isn't an issue, I can actually go do things.

Look for some indoor playground like Playplace. Or sign her up for Little Gym

How is he supposed to get her to those places in the middle of a blizzard?

On a dry winter weekend, it would be good place to go instead of staying home

And how does that help him tomorrow, which is what he was talking about?
Me too! You on the DL as well, Gidiefor? Hang in there.
She goes to the kids museum and maritime center, both places pretty much every weekend since the winter started, its run its course andnwould like other stuff to do but there's only so long an 18 month old lasts in those places anyway. And yeah, there entire city will be closed tomorrow, so there's that.
I don't mind some asshole on the internet trying to call me a bad parent because they likely haven't been in the shoes. I'm a great dad, just hate being stuck inside all winter, don't see what the big deal is. Being inside all day sucks after a while without kids.

As "the asshole on the Internet" in question, let me say I have been in your shoes. My daughter is 18 and in her first year at college now. I don't know you; you may be a great dad. But being bummed because you have to spend the day with your kid instead of sticking them in day care for the day isn't exactly a dad of the year attitude. I get the cabin fever thing, but spending the day with your kid should never "blow."
This will sound trite, but the opportunity to spend time with your kid only comes once. It won't be long before they're never around. 15 years from now you won't be bemoaning the days you weren't able to put her in day care.
Drag them slowly on a sled, they think it's the greatest thing in the world.

Thanks for the lesson chief. You are right, you don't know me, stick with that and move on since you have no clue on this one. My comment was supposed to be about being stuck inside yet again this winter and wanting winter to end so we can do things outside. If you want to look into it as more than just that, then yes you are being an asshole.
Back to the storm, the latest in Stamford says 10"-12", somehow I find that light and I'd be thrilled with only a foot.

She does like it, I think Wednesday she'd play in it a bit, but with the winds tomorrow she will probably take two steps and bolt back to the door. Just not really worth it (I just filled the garage with firewood so I don't have to go to the shed in the storm tomorrow).
Jeez, what is that 10 feet?

OK then, sorry for being an asshole. Hope you don't get snowbound too long and can get back to work soon.

That isn't in the US. Note the lanes the cars are driving in.

Is it just me, or is the normally soft spoken and gentle Uconn getting in quite a bit of skirmishes lately ;)
