It hasn't started here yet, but they're already cancelling afternoon and evening activities in some places. Some schools are also having early dismissals. I hope they don't raise our totals again, we started at 2-4, now we're at 5-7 inches!!
-
It's beyond belief right now coming down so hard. We are at just about 2 inches in about an hour span. And this is the "small" storm - Saturday's the "big" one. We just got let out from work so that's the good thing about it!!
Everyone in this storm - please be careful and stay off the roads if you can. If you have to go out, be sure you have emergency supplies in your car - blanket, water, cell phone, etc.

What a nice morning we had --- DD3 and I ran some errands this morning. Got out at 9am and went to Kmart to buy boots for my DD4. You should have seen how many people were doing the same thing! The store was most crowded in the kids boot aisle.
We went to a couple other stores and then it started snowing. It took about 20 min to get home through all the traffic, and I was praying all the way up the long hill to our road. Made it, though, and now I've got two movies to watch, some popcorn to make, and a roaring fire to sit next to.
I'm NOT happy about the snow this weekend -- my choir has the biggest concert of the year on Sat night!! Hopefully we won't have to cancel it...
Stay safe, everyone!

I know! Can you believe how fast it's accummulating? I've got the kids home from school. Now I can't wait for my husband to get home so we're all safe.
I'm with you on Saturday, Kathy. It's my grandfather's 90th birthday and I planned a big party at a local restaurant for Saturday night. I'll hate to have to cancel.

This is a hard and fast storm here. Welcome to winter! I swear it's coming down at about 3 inches an hour! I went out to start shoveling so I won't have a HUGE pile to move when It is over and when I turned around 15 minutes later, the areas I had just done were already covered! It was a losing battle. LOL
They say the coast (where I am) MAY get sleet so our accumulations will be 5 inches or so.
I called Mom to tell her top just go home. The commute tonight is going to be very bad.
STAY SAFE MY FRIENDS!!!!

Another CT resident here ... The school I work at was canceled early morning in anticipation ... I figured I'd go out and run some errands before the snow started (which I thought was supposed to be at noon). I left the house at 9:45ish. I hit Target, and it was snowing by the time I left at 10:15. Was at Walmart for less than an hours and had an inch of snow on my car when I came out. Then I hurried (by which I mean drove home at a snailspace and turned a 15 minute drive into a 35 minute drive because of the roads) home and curled up on the couch with my cat, a blanket and some hot chocolate so I could watch it snow out the window. So pretty. Then I got out my laptop to do some work and turned on the new Disney Holiday special on my dvr for some background noise.

Hi Kathy!! Yup - we're getting lots of the white stuff up here in Central NY... we're forecasted for 6-8", but I think we've already gotten about 6 or 7", so I think it'll come in at more than that!! I woke up to it, as I worked last night... and I also was out of coffee and needed some Baileys to accompany my Christmas card writing tonight - so out I went into the snow right when I got up, so I could be back before the girls got home!! (No snowday for them... it didn't start snowing until this afternoon, I think) Dan said I was nuts to go out, but I couldn't go w/o my coffee...

The sky is throwing little ice chunks at us here in the Bronx. And NOT ONE street...even the main ones...have seen a snow plow or even sand. I got a ride part way home from work and usually I'll get home in 30 minutes or so; today it took 75. I'll bet school will be on and on time tomorrow....NYC NEVER cancels school!

It is now sleeting or raining outside. They did say the storm may move northward and we might get the sleet. As usual the Channel 10 news people right on! So I think our snow is over at least on the RI coast.
I would estimate that there is about 5 inches out there.
Anybody from MA or further North (NH) ready with a report?

Like Bethany, we've had mini-hail most of the day with periods of snow. The ground is only slightly covered with snow but not the pavement.
Me thinks the the Board of Ed powers that be who decide whether the schools are closing or not, look outside their office windows or their apartment windows in Manhattan and see no snow on the streets so they keep the schools open. Everyone in the other boroughs know, however, that snow rarely sticks on Manhattan streets because of all the underground wiring, steam ducts, train tracks, plumbing, etc. that keep those streets warmer than your average street. My street is a hill going to a large, public elementary school, and they often don't plow or salt it. Kind of scary considering it's narrow, the hill is a bit steep, and there are cars parked along either side of the street... always seemed like an accident waiting to happen. During the first major snowstorm last winter, there was an accident involving a school bus and a city bus just two blocks away from here.
So are we going to get snow over the weekend? Time to stock up on Parmalat!

I was just talking to my a friend in Boston. He said it took him 2 hours to get from the Four Point Channel in Southie to his house at Columbia and Dorchester rd in Dorchester. If you know Boston, this is not a long distance at all. He said every intersection was grid locked. He also said coming back the Logan, it took 45 minutes JUST to go thru the Ted Williams tunnel.

We're down to "just" 9000 homes without power following Tuesday's ice storm. And another 30,000 homes without power up in St. Joe. It's amazing how much damage ice can cause.
We actually had sunshine today, though that posed it's own problems. Dangers from falling ice as it melts from trees, power lines, and towers can cause damage too.
And now they're calling for 2-4 inches of snow tomorrow night.

Snow... What is that? I don't think we've had any real measurements of snow in 2 or 3 years. We can only hope for it.

All we got was a coating of ice. Then it started to rain really hard. That's when they decided to send schools home early. There was no snow or ice by this point. I don't get it.
