I remember '78. Was freshman in HS. We played tackle football in the middle of the street!

So the weatherman starts this morning by showing a chart and saying the coldest part of the winter is over. YAY!
Then he slams me with this map of possible snowfall to hit us Friday into Sat. I am in the 12 -15" area....on the positive side my plants would like a blanket. They have been in 10 or less degrees with no blanket for a few weeks now.

27° sunny. About an inch & a half snow overnight & more to come on Fri. Could use the winter moisture in the ground for the plants.

18 with a dusting - snow friday!! back to xcountry skiing:)

Sunny & 32 right now.....very pleasant walking this morning, even though we had another 1/2" of nuisance snow...love being in that 12-18" range for Friday!

snow total predictions are rising...............

Just saw that Bill, I do believe your in the possibly 2' area along with me.

well i guess we are now as the predictions have increased since i posted - kinda of nuts as yesterday the headline on boston.com was we get 6-8 or none - now less than 24 hours later the hammer - very excited here :)

Yes, heard Boston to get hammered.

Looks like we dropped to 6-12......hate the thought of any since the yard is beginning to look like spring.....

Calling for just rain here :(

Lucky!

29 and sunny. 1-2" of snow tomorrow

but I want snow!!!!

Now saying 9-12 inches for us.

saying 5 - 10 for us

an inch & a half overnight. Blizzard coming Fri night. Just like 1978 as storm coming from the west & another from the south. Very glad for the 200' ridge between us & the ocean.

In the morning I am going to finish work at studio as soon as I can and boggy down to Hyannis to catch a ferry before the storm arrives. Not sure what Nantucket is suppose to get, but weather models keep changing. I sure don't want to get stuck in Boston if it gets nailed. Patti

They raised the snow amount in our area .....any where from 18" to 24", some locations may see up to 30" here.

Going into town for eggs, milk, and such then batten down that hatches and get ready for tomorrow.

We are at 3 now, real-feel is -8. High for today? A big 13!!

wow.. best of luck babe!.. don't know how you do it.. 18 now going to 31

The snow is bad enough but the winds will be gusting up to 40 and 50 mph, possibility of 6 - 8' drifts and power outages. Thats the part I don't like.

It doesnt look good for the northeast coast states.We will get up to 10 inches.
Looks like a inside- weekend

OMG I would be in a panic attack

we were in Lake George, NY one winter.. and the drifts blocked our door and we had to be shoveled out of the cabin.. don't know how you do it Celeste

No need to panic, although my heart did play a little hop-scotch when the weatherman said said it would rival the storm of 1978. ^_^

I can remember one bad storm, actually it was several of them over several days and my brothers had to jump out the 2nd story windows to shovel the doors out. I think ?? it may have been 1969

I think I remember the '69 storm,It was really big and Buffalo and Rochester got hit bad.They were using front loaders to dump snow into the rivers.
DD is flying home from business overseas.She is due Fri.night.It wouldnt surprise me if I dont see her until Sat or Sun depending on flights from NYC.

When the storm of '78 was over, my DH opened the garage door, & the snow completely blocked it....the 1st plow got stuck in our drive......had to call in one from the construction company in town.....not looking forward to this event at all.......

Update on this storm for us along Lake Ontario.Just a trace to 3 inches.I am not panicing over that. You along the coast will get slammed.I'll be thinking about you.

That's not bad, Jo....hoping our total will drop!

Me too! The drifts will make it hard to get an accurate depth when all is said and done.

26 and overcast. we won't be getting much here.

18° & overcast. We are in the snow area, but grocery hop on Thurs. anyway. I have pulled a muscle in my rib area & had a tough time getting to sleep last night,

was 10 here - will make sure there is plenty of gas for the snow blower.

You guys are making me all jealous, they are still calling for more rain than snow here

24° right now and cloudy, supposed to be in the 50's next week
