I am parked right next to the road. the city plow driver is a mental retard, and I'd like to tell him that. :unamused:

tucked in like an ostrich in a hole, back facing the street... I will still find something worth a ten ton smack no doubt.

[adam]

We got about 5-6 inches in Coventry right now

[boxer3maine]

who is going to guess the totals correct...

I guess bangor: 22 inches.

[bratman18]

^That may be a bit high. I'm guessing around 12 for my area

[Berge56]

We have about 7 or so in Southwick ma

[bratman18]

We have about 4 here already.

[HoetheJoe]

its not snowing here, its just the wind making snow drifts, the company behind my house hired a dude and a huge earthmower to clear their parking lot, :lol: fools

Over 6 here and still coming down

I'm out near Boston right now, getting hit pretty freaking good. Weather guy said to expect upwards of 20" on the news last nite, not sure if I believe that bull**** though, haha!

[sk_leb]

Just woke up here in Billerica. It's still snowing and it looks like we have upwards of 15" and the wind is still blowing pretty hard.

[civic si hb]

In Manchester here:

Still snowing out with a mix of some kind of ice pellets coming down at the same time. I have no clue how much is out there but I'd guess 18 inches by looking where it is up to on some things outside, the killer though is the howling winds. They just don't stop and are incredibly strong.

[subaru_crazy]

charlestown nh i used a tape meusurer 18 inches outside still coming down.

[Joe]

Doesn't look like we got much. So Windy that my driveway is half clear and half covered. I can't even tell of it's still snowing. Looks like we got 5-7 inches. Maybe more??

[chatch82]

Enfield NH.............just Measured 17.5 on a tape measure and they are calling for another 3-6 before 5pm tonight!

[bratman18]

We got a lot here, hard to tell because it's blowing so much, but there is a lot of it, and still coming down hard

Enfield NH.............just Measured 17.5 on a tape measure and they are calling for another 3-6 before 5pm tonight!

my place looks like a windswept half sanded desert of snow..

the only snow pile to see is where the retarded city plow driver found some to smash into the row of cars where we park. :unamused:

seems a gutted storm, gulf of maine is too cold already apparently.

blah.

[jessickascarling]

dan is outside snow blowing the drive way now. our office is closed until 1130 and they're going to reassess for the afternoon. however, i don't think they'll have a problem opening. just looks like it's windy and not really snowing now. i'm glad they closed the morning though (they've NEVER EVER closed like this before unless the power was out, and even then they usually make us go in and wait 2 hours), makes it easier to drive and probably safer. the puppies love it though, there is so much snow they have to hop to get anywhere :rofl: it's cute as **** though and they love it! as a matter of fact, yoshi is sitting by the slider staring out the window waiting to go back out :lol:

[Bu11dogg2]

My work is closed all day :)

Best part is, I still get paid!

[bratman18]

Yeah no work for me either. And it's still coming down hard

[starhm]

just around a foot down here...in SUFFOLK, VA. people are seriously lost. tunnels were all shut down for a while and alot of exit ramps closed because people couldnt make it around the loops without piling them up.

i just put my keys away...felt safer not being on the roads here. cant count on the other peeps knowing what they are doing.

[bratman18]

Still snowing here. Just got in a little bit ago from digging out, definitely more than a foot out there. And blowing like crazy!

[Penguinetti]

I'm snowed in down in Stamford, CT. 18 inches of snow. I'm on a dead end street and the plow trucks have not come through yet... and some douches just snow blowed their driveways into the middle of the street... how does that help in any way?

His driveway is clear??

Not much here. Snow has stopped. Looks like we got about 7-10 inches, though the snow drifts are at least 1.5 ft.

[bratman18]

Still snowing here, and hard! And still blowing like crazy too.

[Berge56]

My house got 8-10 inches and up at my bros house 10 minutes away he got 12-14. :spin:

[Rxallen]

Awesome start to the winter. The wind was killer. I would say about 10" - 14" in Gorham. There was 2' buffer around my in-laws van with less than an inch and then almost 3' of snow after that. The wind effect was really cool!

[Penguinetti]

Looks like there will be another ine this weekend...

Should be interesting, to say thee least... As long, of course, that it doesn't just flurry

[Joe]

So I was at work til 10:00, then decided to leave. Got stuck in my work parking lot bc there was about a foot of snow and noone plowed. Got home to a driveway filled with snow. Gunned it into the snow and got it about 10 ft in before i high-centered it. Spent the last hour and a half snow blowing the driveway and freeing up the forester to get it into the garage. once that was done, went over to the ram, started it, cleaned it off, put it in 4wd and drove out thru three feet deep plow snow. :lol:

[CTATV]

http://plorf.com/media/pic-cocaine-dog.jpg

[Rxallen]

Just plowed into my in-laws driveway without a problem. about 14" at road, 11" in driveway... No Problems getting back our either... Just now found out our office is closing at 2PM. 13.5" in Gorham so far...

What an awesome blizzard. Measured 18 inches of snow. Had been out plowing all day to come home to my driveway not being done. (thank you brother) So I fired up the 60hp tractor and plowed the driveway in 4 passes. :lol:

Nice! I have heard faint rumors of something else in the pipeline for Tue- Wed. might be a bit warmer though, so it could be heavy slush. :unamused:


I'm gonna hold off though, as that is years away in forecast time. :lol:

[Berge56]

Yea I hear ya Joe! I hope it does snow as I can use the extra money. :)

we had over 2 ft of snow in our area. i learned last night that my car with proper winter tires (ran crappy all seasons last year) is awesome in the snow!!

[Berge56]

Should be amazing in the snow with snow tires. :) Just curious, what tires do you have?

[TankGirl]

Dunlop Graspics. I had never heard of them, but they do pretty well in the snow. Anything is better than the RE92s i had lol
This is the first year I've ever had snow tires, and the second year with an AWD vehicle. I'm starting to actually enjoy winter!

I have those tires too! They work really well on ice as well.

My next set of winter tires I am looking to get are the General Altimax Arctics. They are rated number 1 or 2, are cheap and handle amazing.

Its been awesome! The car handles the snow no problem. I do miss engine braking.

[Joe]

Looks like tomorrow is gonna be a sad little thing for us southern members. 2-4 inches. Bangor is forecasted for 3-6.


We did get a little dusting last night, covered up all that ugly, slushy mess that the last storm left.

I also ordered snow tires yesterday. they were sold out of the Continental ExtremeContact DWS, so i got the Continental ExtremeWinterContact snows.

Northeast is getting hammered this winter. I'm kind of enjoying it - which is a first.

something will time just right, big rain or snow..I would hope.

several local places going up like matchsticks this year.. where is the real moisture. these little storms barely make it into the sky. this place eats hurricanes dammit..

up to 13 to 19 inches..

then an additional 1 to 3 later on.

I would crap if bangor goes beyond a -28 (the record).

the plow is revealing definitely a foot or more as of now, snow winding down.. very light, pushing large piles shortbed pickup.

I am going to swap antifreeze for the max..as if -15F on a tester was not strong already.

north in bangorian siberia, the ratios are still claimed to be 12:1.. at below zero all evening and a high in the teens for the storm.. that should be 20 inches to 1 inch of rain.

36" to 40" more this saturday.:)

I drove arond today, state street, cumberland...
a 2wd ambulance climbing it in front of me.

I may drift away from subes....cars get by. Until i took the corner at state street, car sideways stuck in the road.. some strange slime there by irving.. all four wheels sending a slippery crud. I changed my mind after that.

normal oil pressure would be great, not that old subes need oil to run. just swap out the nuclear twelve year capsule.

awaiting that southern breeze. it's a dirty one, but who cares. :)


I see a balmy 35f.. hope it is the real thing this time. this past month shows temps at or just above freezing, but no melt. january is like that.

even the infamous marvel mystery oil needs it for it's mystery. :unamused:

[Kati]

Looks like we are gonna get hit pretty good tonight!!! Finally some real snow!!

How do you feel about that statement now?!! :rofl:

[Kati]

I'm so sick of snow. I am missing another day of work to dig out. I got stuck in the driveway, and haven't even come close to shoveling everything. I want it all to go away

^^TRUE FEELINGS NOW!

[987687]

Hahahhaa Kati :rofl:
That's pretty funny.

[boxer3maine]

this is the coldest march 3rd I can remember.

roads of a january thaw, ice, very hard packed.

I wonder what is next.

I can't remember the last time a torch was taken to a winter bunged catalyst convertor...could be twenty years.

Snowing in York. silly October, thinking it's December.

Snowing in York. silly October, thinking it's December.

I was just watching snow in the big apple..branches snapping in central park.

1st time in october in 49 years. :unamused:

local is tied with a relatives birthday, oct 7th.
anytime after that is not a surprise. This bangor north has more unwritten fibs than an 87 subaru...

japan had fun with the world this coming season.

anyone remembers chernobyl flying around. holy cow.

36 below in january and 90 degrees april 1st... 3 years after chenobyl. what a thrasher.

japans stuff is much smaller scale, and still hot enough to be moving the cold around.

if it is satisfied now,maybe a normal winter follows...wishful thinking.

not even a sun storm does what bad nukes do.

[Joe]

And the power is out. Trying to wait an hour or so and hope it comes back on before pulling out the generator and firing it up.

[bratman18]

Just started snowing here. Have to be in at 5 a.m. tomorrow for storm work. Yay OT

[Joe]

powers back!!! :spin: hope that was an isolated incident.

[jwebsta32]

[inski]

Just started in Naples.

[jwebsta32]

First call of the night

[vermonster]

Guilford, VT. About 15" and still coming down very steady!! ...:unamused:

Called out of work already and left my car in lot, dad came to get :lol:

[BogeyBones]

[MAINIAC SPEC B]

Got snow in Acton 17" of it.

[boxer3maine]

Got snow in Acton 17" of it.


nice.

we got slop here. only a few inches.
this place needs a weather man, for all 5 square miles of bangor.

a good swirl off the coast going by..looks like a very lively cyclone.

when we get our freak opposite-of-the-weather-man storm, it is going to be nasty.

[Joe]

We got about 3 inches of wet snow here. Was without power from 10 last night til 1 today.

[bratman18]

Was called into work at midnight last night. 22 hours of OT today alone. Back in at 5 a.m. tomorrow.

[987687]

That sounds really ****ty... Must be nice on the paycheck though!

[jwebsta32]

****ty, all they do is sit in a truck while the lineman do all the work. lol

[bratman18]

****ty, all they do is sit in a truck while the lineman do all the work. lol

Lol. Yesterday yes, all we did was sit. I did one tree that had the lines pinned to the ground. But normally, we are the ones that do all the work while the linemen sit in their truck. Not to mention what happens in a normal day!!!:lol:

[powdahbonz]

Still no juice...convinced there's still knob and tube wiring going out to us. First flakes fell and byebye power. I've had enough-time for 10000 watts of generator love

[Berge56]

so 11 inches at my house in southwick and just 5 miles away my brother and parents got 22 inches. :eek:

Gross.


It's pretty much gone over here. ground is super saturated though. I hope it dries out enough before the freeze.

[Berge56]

yea I still hvae a few inches of snowon some parts of my lawn and then others (where the sun hits) is down to grass again.

[bratman18]

Ended up with 96.5 hours of OT from this storm. Left Tuesday night and went to Waltham, MA and was there until this morning. There was a lot of damage down there. Many trees on the lines. It's gonna be a good paycheck, but it's good to be home.

wow.
:eek:

I did not know that was humanly possible.
why they target a group of people and not find more?
or is the hours with time to stay legal with breaks and hours off with pay?

I thought my tour in the military was the biggest law breaker ever... 96.5 hours is quite a few.

I see single digits on north america and -20s on the other continent...this could be hellacious times to come. Some of itis sinking right nto american states already. new england gets it eventually. I would laugh evil if new york acts like a typical northern maine season.

anyhoo.. predictor that I wannabe.
it has been strangely good here.

[bratman18]

We can work the first 24 straight through, and then 17 hour shifts everyday after. Except when we were in Massachusetts we could work 18 hours straight. There were 10 crews down there. I was one of the 10.

I actually have the 96.5 OT and 9 hours straight time.

[Berge56]

:ay: Nice work.




Uncle sam is going to love you.
