Time to shut it down

[3Deep]

Being snowed in with some good movies and lots hot buttered popcorn not a bad deal, as long as you got some electric and heat.  I would always leave Mass early as to not get stuck up there and down south here...I like the warm air.

snowing like a mo fo right now here in buffalo. . I'm going snowshoeing tonight so I say bring it on son! we are working all day, no reason to call it quits yet, I can still see my car outside.

what happened to snowmobiling   that would be a blast with all that snow..i remember in minnesota we would fly down the highways during blizzards.. flask of lord calvert in hand.. BE SAFE GUYS..I'll be praying for ya'll

we have about a foot or more at the moment, it was really wet snow this morning but now it's the fresh powder, HUGE flakes.... the good stuff...the whole city here is pretty much shut down...

snowmobiles would be fun, but they nail you on the registration fees, and then you need a place to ride it. we rented some in the adirondaks a few years back, went out on the lakes, that was a ton of fun...

Can't tell how much we have so far it's blowing dead sideways wind is howling and I am surprised I still have power wow. Definitely a true blizzard.

what is normal snowfall up there?  I heard 2 feet and I was thinking that doesn't sound like a lot, but then again, 2 inches down here and the world stops.

Getting hammered here on Long Island.  Quad carb is gelled up with last years gas, started the new used snowblower and tried to make some pavement appear and it lasted 45 seconds before the auger stopped.  Went to get dinner at the diner with my wife and son and had to wait for all the yuppies with the camaros and mustangs to make it up the hill,  nice to have 4 wheel drive, who's laughing now.... So we make it into the diner and there is a girl at the front door around 21 and upset.  She is waiting for daddy to come and pick her up.  Her dad comes in a heating oil repair truck (working guy) and she proceeds to tell him that he is driving her car home and not the van.  He says, I cannot drive two cars at once and asks the owner of the diner if he could leave his daughters new 50k mercedes in the parking lot.  He of course says yes but to pull it around back.... Has anyone ever seen the commercial with the mercedes stuck in the snow???  maybe they should have them because the wheels probably look nice, but they suck in the snow.   I wish I could be there tomorrow when she shows up with her poodle and uggs on to find that her mercedes is under a 10 foot pile of snow..... So I remember that the mower place is open 24 hours on days like this because they service everything, so I jump into the truck and head over that way only to find that the phone number was disconnected because they are out of business....... off to lowes in the morning.  Everyone have a safe weekend...

He brad pushing three feet now probably more this storm is extreme, already saved done stranded motorist that got stuck on the road near by she was nearly out of gas by time me and a neighbor got to her car and lead her to our building. Snow drifts are easily five feet right now and expecting worse, it's a failed storm and to answer your question two feet is far far from normal.

[whitewater]

man we only got like 7"...this sucks!  I want more!!!

[inkman996]

We got three feet, drifts are up to the roofs every where and cars are abandoned right in th middle,of the roads all over. Sam now you know why they had to shut down the roads, even the big plows got stuck on the high ways.

[inkman996]

Turns out my little town of Wallingford got the record amount of thirty five inches, snow was falling at four to five inches an hour. Its surreal more like something you see happen in the Rockies not connecticut.

Pictures of my front parking lot, land lord already told us maybe two days till they can get a back hoe in to clear it out, some brave souls are already clearing their cars. I measured one drift at seven feet insane.



There is cars under these humps.

[Socalfmf]

WOW, I'm glad I've never see that in person. We get snow in Cleveland area, but in my 13 years here, I have never seen something like that.

Stay safe guys.
