Amounts increased to 4"-7" and will start coming down hours earlier than originally predicted.  Have a good one, Long Islander's

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. 

We got 7" but that makes over a foot in the last week.  Not too shabby!   Snowblower is earning its keep this winter.   Monday/Tuesday does not look like much of an event in our forecast so far.    -Bob

Just brought  the two beasts in the garage. I'm ready and waiting. There already is a winter storm warning in effect. Let's see what actually comes.... - Kris

Sounds like a good one for Coastal Connecticut  on Monday according  National Weather Service.  
I did a Auger/IImpeller belt adjustment this afternoon, so I'm ready .

6-12" here.

Wow, this snow is coming down in buckets on Long Island.  Temperature suddenly dropped from 42 degrees to 27 degrees in just a few hours.  I was going to service and store my snowblower this weekend, guess not

I work in northwest NJ and we got 2" of snow on the ground in 2 hours. It's gosh darn cold and windy to boot. It's the heaviest I've seen snow come down all winter. And the weather people ALL said no accumulations today, it was supposed to be rain turning to snow flurries tonight. Must be nice to have a job that pays pretty good and allows you to be wrong half the time.

Yeah, this wind is what I expected that last storm they ranted about being a classic Nor' easter to be.  This little storm caught me off guard too, I didn't expect the temperature to drop below 32 degees.  The sun has just finished melting all the snow on all the lawns around here, now all you see is white   Looks like I'll be using my snowblower for the first time at night, glad I have a decent halogen headlite.  Be safe everyone on those icey roads.

Richie:

This is not fair...I have only had one good snow fall since changing carbs....how do you rate to get more snow.  The weatherman said that we might get 1 or 2 inches Wednesday or Thursday.  Minnesota winters are not what they used to be
