Its on the way SNOW!!

[macojoe]

A winter storm watch remains in effect from Friday morning through late Friday night.
The winter storm watch is in effect for all of southern new england.
Snow is expected to develop from west to east late Friday morning or early afternoon. The snow is expected to become heavy not too long after onset. The potential exists for snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour Friday afternoon and evening. Roads during the friday afternoon and evening rush hour will likely be snow covered and treacherous.
At this time, it looks as though most of southern new england has the potential to see 6 to 12 inches of snowfall by midnight friday night.

[macojoe]

I think I speak for CB and myself when I say you can all have it!! As a matter fact I am going to run a add on crigslist starting tomorrow, Free snow, bring Large truck and take all you want free!

So you all have the scoop come get it first come first serve!!

 

[macojoe]

Well the state will anounce in the AM if state workers should come to work at all??
I hope they do not say anything till after 8 am as if they say no one to come in I will be stuck here for god knows how long??

All schools are closed already, they are thinking a big storm!

CB and I are to get 11+" Going to be a real mess starting mid afternoon!

Nope. Doesn't really bother me all that much.
I'm just sick of hearing about it. We live in New England. It's going to snow in the winter. Just something to deal with. The news media are the ones that hype it all up and get everyone worked into a frenzy. It's good for ratings because the more they forcast gloom and doom, the more folks will stay glued to their news stations to get updates. People will watch the same reports from the worst hit areas over and over repeatedly. I can bet that if one weather person on any particular station were to go against all the others and say that this storm wasn't going to be any big deal (even if they were correct), they'd be out of a job in very short order.
MJ gets sucked into all the weather hype.

[Mac_Attack]

[macojoe]

I hope CB's snow blower breaks!

They are still sticking with 8 to 11, 6+ at midnight and the rest coming in over night.

Chum is absolutely right. Long Island gets less snow than you guys but the media hype is the same. They're calling 2"-5" by this evening and there is about 2" right now. There is more dirt and salt on the roads right now than snow, every third Hummer on the road is spun off over a curb and in the woods. Can't stand the morons in their little [and big]SUV that think they are invincible to winter driving. Every gas station in town is full w/ customers and the milk , bread and canned goods are flying off the shelves......fools.....I think I'll go get my boy out of school a little early and we'll go play on the quad

 

[randlemanboater]

Thats what I love about winter weather......milk sandwiches!!!!!

 

[C YENSEN]

send it my way please......the one big thing I miss about living here is no snow....grew up in WV and we got a lot of it....I MISS SNOW

Only way we gonna get a white Christmas is if the wife drops a 5lb bag of flour on the floor!

Just started here. My grandson got out of school early and is spending the afternoon here with me. We're gonna go play in the snow pretty soon.

 

[macojoe]

Its coming hard now! But we have just about 2" but I see its getting close to white out.

 

[macojoe]

So much for the light fluffy stuff!! This great snowball snow! I just did my first shovel, I say close to 3 1/2 heavy sh!t, and its coming hard!!
Work just called to see if I would come to work now, I said how is it to want!

Really I said when my daughter gets home i would come in, I am tring to get her at work right now.

 

[shubey61]
