Im near the coast in Mass...right on the 3ft predicted area......I love it!
If you take off the 2' prediction when we get those type of conditions weekly, they are called late January-February. :biglaugh:
The Cape is just dusted so far. It's wind damage that messes us up here.
Hmm, When I work for a company HQ'd in San Antonio four of us from Michigan arrived in the midst of a ice storm. The company's shuttle bus driver was driving like 2 miles an hour so Darren took over and drove us the rest of the way to the corporate office. The driver was so frazzled and thanked Darren for driving. The problem with Southern roads is that they are designed to get rid of water and the freeways are all banked so when they ice they are bad roads to drive on. That and they have no equipment to spread sand, salt , rock chips or some sort of mixture thereof to get rid of the ice. Here in the U.P. we drive on for the most part hard pack snow that can be slippery but if you ride the "cushion" on the corners no need to slow down!We don't get too much snow down here in Texas. We get ice storms then snow to cover it and fool northerners. You can tell who recently came here from the north by who is sitting in a ditch trying to figure out why their driving techniques did not work. Needless to say, nobody rides a motorcycle in that stuff.
I hope you got your bread and milk.
We got lucky....it's still snowing hard, the wind chill is around -20° F and visibility is pretty bad but all in all it's very manageable...guessing we'll end up with a foot or so of snow, no big deal.
Thinking you guys out east might not be doing so well tho....hang in there! unk:
Lucky you....we got robbed.............storm came in late, ended early and didn't snow at the rate they promised.......Historic storm my a$$.........

Are you surprised? Maybe you should chalk this one up to media hype? Always attempting to sensationalize to the extreme in the never-ending quest for better ratings? :confused2:
It looks like it's slowing down, or it's a lull i n the action. People on the Cape aren't going to be able to open their doors outward. Winds had to have been hurricane force. I don't think we got much more than 2' biut drifts are 4' judging from my buried wood pile. I'm getting ready to put my hooded Carheart jacket on and get out there soon.
