All the TV stations are storm reporting round the clock. There is an expectation that this might be the fifth worse, or better, Nor-Easter since records have been maintained. I believe this goes back to around 1860. 24"+ snow. A couple of areas are forecast for 30". Winds to 70-75 mph on the coast. $500 dollar fine if caught on any road without an approved exemption. (Snowplows and emergency personnel). This hasn't happened since 1978. Astronomical high tides with the new moon. There will be houses swept out to sea at 10PM tonight or 11AM tomorrow. The tide tomorrow will be higher but the wind direction will be less damaging. (How come all these coastal storms hit with a new or full moon?) Don"t expect a power outage as the temps are low and the snow is dry. Its blowing around and not sticking to anything. May be some roof and side wall damage due to drifting. Just heard that the wet snow and wind south of Boston has caused 500,000 outages. Nuke plant at Plymouth is also down but won't meltdown like the ones in Japan two years ago.

So far we have gotten 4 to 6 inches. Actually not really even snowning right now. It is the wet mealy stuff that is pretty slick though. At this point I expect no more than a foot, probably less.

When did that start? I know they name tropical storms and hurricanes. Names or not, hope you don't get as much wind or snow as they have been guessing. [Reply]  [No Email]

Spent a lot of time in that area off and on form 1974 to 1980 when in the Navy. Norfolk Portsmith etc etc etc. Bet a lot has changed since back in the 80s like VA Beach from what I have heard [Reply]  [No Email]

I am by the east end of Lake Ontario and our weather events are often out of sync with the rest of the area because of the lake. I hope all the folks further east will be okay.

I heard some blue jays singing today. Cardinals should start pretty soon. I'm betting you have an IH tractor ready to move the snow out of the way. LA in WI [Reply]  [No Email]
