Original Message   Feb 20, 2005 2:28 pm
Amounts increased to 4"-7" and will start coming down hours earlier than originally predicted.  Have a good one, Long Islander's

Well it did snow here.  Some nice powdery stuff it was until the sun come out.  Not much though.  Got the leaf blower out and cleaned up a little around the yard.

A low pressure system is forecast to intensify rapidly tonight as it moves of the american east coast to pass just south of Nova Scotia during the day Friday. So far indications are that near 15 centimetres of snow will fall over northern regions with up to 25 centimetres expected along the atlantic coast.

Hi there Sherri,

You know something, I think that was the most professionally written weather report ever to have been posted in this forum.  Thanks again for making it snow here, I wasn't even aware we were getting snow until late last night.  Have to go prep the Toro.

I copied and posted from Environment Canada.  It's still down around Florida so I guess it's moving pretty quick to make it by tomorrow.

I'm loving the snow!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I prefer to measure snowfalls horizontally.  We get a lot more that way.

Looks like we only got about 4".  I still used the snowblower because this was the coldest it has been since I made the modifications to my carburetor.  I really wanted to see how it ran in 24 degrees.  Engine ran flawless and started on the first pull.

That the same amount we got, about 4 inches on the roads but 6 on the grassy surfaces.  Didn't use the blower though.

The blizzard I so hoped for decided on an coastal cruise instead of touring the inland.  Oh it did snow - but not nearly enough.  Can't wait until the next one!

See if you can order us more snow than rain on Monday/Tuesdays storm.
