NFT: Blizzard 2017

Tom [Giants fan] : 3/12/2017 6:44 pm
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!

We were supposed to get...  
RicFlair : 3/14/2017 10:32 am : link
18 inches at the most by tomorrow night.

We have probably already surpassed 18 and they are still showing it coming 2-3 inches per hour and no sign of stopping.

Seems more like sleet which should hopefully keep our totals down.

Last night were supposed to get anywhere from 18 to 29 inches.


GiantBlue, where do you live? My wife sometimes works PRN in Topton. We live just outside of Allentown.

It's weird out there, it does look like some sleet coming down.

Good luck with that. The forecasts are usually right. They even came close with this one as all the models showed variances--the lines between big and small totals were right in the middle of the NYC area. That's exactly what happened. I'm in fort lee and we are getting hammered, as best I can tell.
I keep fucking up quotes!

sorry
In NYC, might not be a historic storm  
regulator : 3/14/2017 10:36 am : link
but still clearly enough to fuck everything up.
Wow, Topton!

We live in Exeter Township......still mostly sleet/snow mix.

We're getting some serious wind up here  
B in ALB : 3/14/2017 10:59 am : link
in Smallbany. Visibility is pretty bad, snow coming down hard and the roads are basically undriveable. Haven't fired up the snow blower yet, but I should probably make my first pass soon. 6 year old is dying to go outside but it's near blizzard conditions with the wind.
Here in NEPA we had 15" at 9:30 AM...  
BMac : 3/14/2017 11:01 am : link
... I went out and took care of it with the blower, which took about an hour. During that hour, we got 4" more, and it's still pounding down. No wind yet, but that's supposed to start this PM.

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)

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 can always snow blow now and shovel later. Obviously I'm not going to the gym today so why not ??

Tom [Giants fan] : 3/14/2017 12:41 pm : link

Worcester county  
pjcas18 : 3/14/2017 12:45 pm : link
is getting hammered.

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.
11 Inches in Cohoes/Troy/North Albany since 7AM  
guitarguybs12 : 3/14/2017 12:46 pm : link
2" in the last hour. Still coming down VERY heavy.

I think I have cabin fever. I am calling places to see if they are opened for lunch and not having much luck.
Mixed precipitation line moved 10 miles north of where people thought  
dpinzow : 3/14/2017 1:11 pm : link
it would be (right on or near I-95) and everyone in the big cities is complaining about a bust. Instead it created a different type of storm with more sleet than I have ever seen around NYC and the inner suburbs/cities
anyone attempt to clean up yet?

I did around 11am  
GentleGiant : 3/14/2017 1:28 pm : link
shoveled about a foot of very light snow off my driveway with relative ease, went back out a half hour ago and had a much harder time shoveling the 2 inches of hard pack that accumulated since then

All done for now. Took two separate cleanings, but there's a fair amount to clean.
it's still blowing like hell here in fort lee

and snowing heavy too.
Blizzard warning just extended to 4am

here in Albany. NOAA is saying we might be looking at up to 27 inches at my house. Haven't gone outside yet but this will most likely be the first of many trips into the abyss.

was awful, couldn't even get through it all. Got a good amount of salt down though, hoping it takes care of whatever's left this afternoon.

So I just spent two hours clearing the driveway  
B in ALB : 3/14/2017 7:20 pm : link
Then I head to the backyard to clear some paths for our dogs. I like to make little mazes for them to get lost in. They love it because we have a huge yard.

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.
