So what's the prediction on the snow for this weekend?   I'm not sure yet it could hit the northeast head on or miss us. How do you guys feel?

my son got me 10 gallons of gas tonight. I'm not going to miss being prepared.

Mid-40's and cloudy this weekend.  Might go fishing. 

I live in a Lake Erie lake effect band. There is a 100% chance of snow everyday from mid October until mid April.

To each his own..i have enough cold and snow in nh.

Here in central va they are predicting 5 - 8". For us that is like NE getting 4 feet

Central VA according to WxRisk who i believe more than any other weather person out there is predicting a lot more than 5-8".....i just hope out starts early enough on friday to cancel school for the day  

The most dire predictions say one to two feet of snow.

Scientifically speaking, I got storm insurance.  Twenty gallons of 89 octane gas for the snow blower, and 25 gallons of regular gas (all treated with Stabil of course) for the generator.

Today or tomorrow I will get the generator in its place (my spray booth with an exhaust fan that runs whenever the generator is running) in case of power loss.

As is usually the case when I get prepared ahead of time the storms change direction, and miss us entirely, or we end up getting rain instead of snow.

Therefore, southeastern Massachusetts will escape with, at the worst, a dusting of snow.

It's settled science.

Last year was the exception which proves the rule.

We got about 3" last night were I am.  They were saying we might get 3" to 5".  I'm glad we didn't.

Most of the forecast for my area have low to mid 20 inches Friday evening into Saturday.

I am a firm believer in "we get what we get when we get it", like the rest of you I like being prepared for the worst and hope that we get the least.

Blizzard conditions here on Friday. Up to 2" of snow, temperatures dipping below 30* and we are almost out of bread & milk!

 

 

 

I got over two feet between Sunday and Monday in Northern Michigan.  So it's on it's way.

Yup ~

A-Jay

There not sure yet, too early to call. I believe we have a big northeaster if it's in the right direction.

Everyone is going to die!

Now we are looking at 3" -  5"

 

EVENING UPDATE & START TIMES important formation--
for central and eastern VA into southern MD and into DELMARVA there are TWO PARTS to this event FRIDAY/ FRI NIGHT then BREAK ...then on comes the 2nd part from Saturday 11am to Sunday 3am
BUT 1ST here is new 18z HIGH RESOLUTION GFS ENSEMBLE mean snowfall map-- it is STAGGERING !!

 

Got about 2'  here.  I left buffalo in October.  Two feet is 5' better than the worst we saw there. 

We been snowed in for days a few times. The elders like my mom taught me to have water. Milk. Bread, etc stocked up before the storm.

In '78 with the blizzard we had everything from frozen pizza to party food. This kept the kids mind off the storm. We played games while the snow piled up past thewindows.

Each experience with heavy snow fall and being snowed in teaches us something. In '78 is we lost power we would of had no heat for days. In '79 I installed a woodstove. I could cook a Italian spaghetti dinner on the woodstove top. Make toast, cook anything. Bake potatoes in the fire. It's good to teach the kids about survival too.

Being prepared before the storm is the key.

 

Well, the storm is about an hour away. Heavy rain all night changing to snow around 5:00 AM.

The City of Memphis is CLOSED!

 

Good luck guys

Winter sucks! While It will almost assuredly shut the majority of the places down my wife Is a state employee in healthcare and she will work no matter the conditions. The funny thing, In a month I will be fishing in 60-70 degree weather. I can't wait. Did I mention, Winter sucks!?

Yep, 12"-18" of snow here in Central VA area.  Well, I am on the North West side of the city. 

Here in Mississippi, the weather was warm, 50's,60's, the first of the week. Last night we had tornado warnings, and this morning we have SNOW, not much but we do have snow. Probably not going to last very long.
