How's the snow?

Your N.E. made the UK news. You're getting up to 2inches of snow per hour and up to 70mph winds.
My wife would say 'duvet day' and snuggle in front of daytime TV

Well, it could be worse....... or maybe not. LOL

Scenes from the 1888 NY blizzard. (Note: I did not take these. 555)

New York City and the East Coast are preparing for another historic storm, but at least they won’t have to rely on horse-drawn carriages to clear all the white stuff.

I believe that blizzard is a primary reason why utilities are buried in NYC as is the subway system.

You can see the difference just in a couple of hours. That egg looking thing on the ground of the second photo is a propane tank.

You can still use the grill! 2 days ago I grilled hot dogs and let that sucker fire up, it melted all the snow off the hood...

This was a huge win for the GFS (American modeling system used by the NOAA). It’s the oldest of the major modeling system and has been outstripped by the EURO, NAM, and other models. It’s supposed to be retired in a few weeks and replaced with an updated system.

2 weeks ago, it started chirping about a major mid-Atlantic storm and while all of the other models were calling for sunny and in the mid-50s. It was roundly ignored. Last week, it was still calling for the storm while the other models were calling for sunny and the high 50s. This time it wasn’t ignored, but actively mocked. 4 days ago, it started shifting the blizzard north while the other models started saying “you know, there’s a chance that we might see something this weekend”… But people were still shrugging it off.

I’m disappointed that we didn’t see more here (5” that mostly melted overnight), but Kudos to the GFS for giving a Golden -Fuckoff Salute on the way out the door…

WTF is wrong with you?

I’m shoveling knee-high snow.

Not a drift, that how high it is.

I don't think we've seen a single snowflake in Seattle so far this winter.

Admittedly, my knees are lower than yours but I think ours is higher. They're saying 33".

I have an awful feeling that I live in a mini snow-belt.
