How's the snow?
-
Our office just closed for the second straight day. I think it's the first time in 23 years they've done that.

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.

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?

@jon-nyc said in How's the snow?:
I’m shoveling knee-high snow.
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.

Wow. That’s an impressive amount of snow. Go slow with the shovelling. Or just wait it out if you can. Heart attacks can and do happen.

The only thing keeping me shoveling was the hope that I'd have a heart attack and get to spend a month in bed.
I probably shouldn't tempt fate - I've got a fair bit left to do tomorrow.
