Who Else Is Getting Ready for Yet Another Nor'Easter Snow Storm?

I don't even want to look at the tv for a report...I HOPE we aren't in a blizzard warning but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a state of emergency by the afternoon.
We are also in the up to 20" band last I knew, but I'm hoping we'll get whatever the minimum for that particular band is and not the 20"!

Sorry to break the news to you, but you've got blizzard warnings too. I checked The Weather Channel site and used Cherry Hill as the city reference point, and sure enough, you've got it too.

Super. I just watched the local TV update. We already have about 8 inches extra on the ground. "But the worst is yet to come", he says. What a JERK! LOL

They showed a map... With Lancaster county as a base (where we are) there is a "12-18" inch line that runs diagonally towards NYC that ends in the upper poconos. Plus, 30mph sustained winds this afternoon, starting around 3-4pm.


God.... We offically cry "UNCLE!" You da man, OK? So stop already.

Up here, 40 miles north of Pittsburgh, we have 5 more inches of fresh snow on top of the 22" we've gotten in the BIG snow. Maybe an additional 1-3' possible today, too. Our big problem is the wind, which is gusting up to 40 mph, causing drifts and low visibilty. I can't wait for spring to come!

Bri, my school closes much later then all the other schools, it's hard to get off school here. :P

I guess I don't need to look at the tv reports after all the updates and reports here!

It's over here in S.E. Michigan. We had about 8" from start to finish. The winds have picked up - about 25mph this morning.

I've noticed a lot of people have to clean off their cars, then driveways,
etc, does any one keep their cars inside the garage. You'd still have to
clean off the drive way, but still, It would help if at least the car wasn't
covered with ice & snow. Inquiring minds want to know.

Very observant I must say. A car in the garage - what a novel idea!!! LOL We have 3 vehicles in the driveway that have never seen the inside of the garage. There's no room with the Harley, garden tractor, freezer, work bench, etc, etc, etc! Hopefully there will be a snow blower in there next year too.....

Right now we are getting hammered - whiteout conditions - wind has picked up. I'm so sick of snow - and I actually like it - but enough is enough!

Poor kids will be going to school till July at this rate. They lost 4 days with the snow before Christmas, and out all week this week so far, and they'll be out for sure tomorrow too, and probably Friday.

Our garage belongs to 1) the pop up camper, 2) the snowthrower, 3) the lawn equipment, 4) the potting bench, 5) the bicycles ... got the idea?

Neighborhood regulations do not allow for campers in the open - the pop up (and it's not a small one) has to claim the garage. This is not a problem for us, we chose to have things that way.

The ones I do NOT understand are my neighbors across the way. We have a common drive with four houses which is a decent length and a steep descent, BUT, as previously posted, we also have a powerful snowthrower and keep the drive clear. They chose, in both storms, to take their vehicles up to the top, on the main street, and leave them there. This makes it so the plow can only make a single width path instead of being able to plow all the way to the curb. There is a mountain of snow in the middle between the plowed path and where the car is. THAT does not make sense!!

I live in a Cape, with the garage underneath the house. So, I have to shovel the driveway before I move the car or risk a ice rink with rock sides.

While in the warmer months I park outside, once cold weather comes (October for J's sake), we move inside. That means I have about 2 inches clearance on each side, once you factor in a lawn mower, hoses, 3 bikes, a jogger, garbage cans and the pots from the yard. Plus more! It is TIGHT. In fact, you can only open the drivers side of the car's doors. But, no way do I want to park outside with a garage at my use.
