I have a snowblower in the garage if you want to borrow it

 

[toggleswitch]

Its a snow-thrower.

Why was the snow-man smiling? He heard the snow-blower was arriving.

Theres a car under there??

 

[toggleswitch]

Yes cars are usually located on the ground.

1" of rain translates to 10" to a foot of snow (2.5cm => 25cm).

Up in Laundryboy's area, it don't necessarily melt between peltings, neitha!

Lawd Have Mercy!!

I knew there was a reason that I did not live north of the Mason-Dixon Line!!

Y'all stay warm, ya hear!!

No THATS what I call a snowfall! We have had a few inches of snow in some parts of the UK and the place seems to have fallen to pieces. Thousands of schools closed and people not turning up for work. I wonder how we would cope with that lot?!?!?!

How about I make you some homemade split pea soup and fresh made cornbread? Its great comfort food when the weather is so nasty.
Be safe on the roads bud

We have snow but not too much

Just right actually, the roads are clear, just enough to make it look like winter. Here's some pics I snapped today.

Snow

what sign officer ??

 

[petek]

The backyard. Ben and Parker love love love the snow. That's Ben running, Parkers off peeing somewhere . Time for a new camera I think.. this one makes everything look dark and it's actually very bright and sunny out when this was taken. I had to lighten the picture

I am glad to be in sunny Tucson. That is why I left New York City 10 years ago.

[gansky1]

Great pictures, Chris - thanks for posting them! I'd love a few feet of snow this week, I've been wanting a blizzard all year.

BREAK OUT THE ROTARIES AND THE SPREADERS!Was reading about these in the Railroading parts of the 'net.

I have always loved snowfall....i guess the way it changes the perception of a landscape. Something very homey about it to those who have lived in areas with 4 seasons..( well not anymore it seems)

Yet summers here can get as hot and humid as the south and even hotter, though thankfully we do not get that kind of weather for as long.

 

[58limited]

I wish I lived in an area

that got snow, but 6 to 8 feet is a bit much. Have you had problems with roofs collapsing do to the weight?

 

[petek]

That is amazing. I don't think I'd want to be up on my roof shovelling any of that off but I can see it being a fantastic time for kids.

Oh, Happy Day!

The latest weather update for northern New Jersey....

"...POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM COULD EFFECT THE TRI- STATE FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY...

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS MONDAY...THEN TRACK EAST TO THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY BY TUESDAY... WHEN A SECONDARY AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL FORM OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST. THE COASTAL LOW BECOMES THE PRIMARY LOW BY WEDNESDAY MORNING OFF THE VIRGINIA OR NORTH CAROLINA COAST. THIS LOW WILL INTENSIFY AS IT SLOWLY LIFTS NORTHEAST TO EAST OF CAPE COD BY THURSDAY MORNING...AND TO NOVA SCOTIA BY THURSDAY EVENING.

COLD AIR WILL ALREADY BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION AHEAD OF THE STORM AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA FROM MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. THE COMBINATION OF THIS COLD AIR...AND ATLANTIC MOISTURE BEING PUSHED INTO THE REGION AHEAD OF THE STORM...GIVES THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW FALL FROM LATE TUESDAY THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY.

BEST INDICATIONS ARE THAT SNOW SHOULD DEVELOP TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY...THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...AND METRO NEW YORK CITY...THEN CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD THE ENTIRE TRI-STATE TUESDAY EVENING. CURRENT EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR THE HEAVIEST AND STEADIEST SNOW FALL TO OCCUR FROM LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH THE SNOW TAPERING OFF FROM WEST TO EAST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY ON THE EXACT TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THIS STORM...AND ON HOW FAST IT WILL MOVE BY THE AREA. WITH A TRACK FURTHER WEST THAN EXPECTED... THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW TO MIX WITH RAIN OVER EASTERN LONG ISLAND. IF THE TRACK IS FURTHER TO THE SOUTH OR EAST THAN EXPECTED...AREAS NORTH AND WEST OF THE CITY COULD END UP RECEIVING LITTLE IF ANY SNOW FALL.

IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL...PROLONGED STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM LATE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR PRODUCING MINOR TO POSSIBLY MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING AS WELL.

BE ALERT FOR FURTHER UPDATES ON THIS POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM."

Well, I could always choose to hibernate....
