So...the storm coming up the eastern seaboard is supposed to be a BAD one. It's huge.

Snow will hit the eastern coastal cities and will fall hard all the way over into Pennsylvania! They are saying on the news that the eastern seaboard can expect to lose power, and that the SNOW will probably be measured in FEET, not inches.

They are warning all residents of the east coast to make preparations for the big power outages. YAY! NOT!!

Being an armchair weatherman in my area I'm predicting little accumulation. It's coming down now but all rain. Expected to continue until 5am tomorrow but the temps remain above freezing. Not looking good for the local 4 to 6 inch prediction I read last night. Once again our local meteorologist blew it. The more tech they use the worse their predictions become.

@Gibbon I thought snow could only happen when it was 32F...so I am sort of surprised that the temperature is going to be 33F for the big blizzard! Maybe it WILL be all rain! THAT would be wonderful!

@4meAndyou Yes my thoughts exactly however it's supposed to get very windy here after it's finished coming down early tomorrow morning

I’m hoping it starts later here than they’re saying. I don’t wanna be snowed in where I am now.

Fingers crossed it’s not as bad as they’re expecting for any of us!

@MellyMel22 And their CAR is parked in the train station parking lot. IF they get home tonight, and IF you decide to drive home, don't go faster than 20 mph. Creep and crawl back home, and be very, very cautious!

@4meAndyou I had to get dropped of which is worse b/c now it’s two ways out. They have side street parking and without snow cars get swiped, so I def don’t want mine there during or after a storm.

@saragoodtimes My friend, in Halifax, Massachusetts can't even get outside his front door, because it is blocked with snow. He has a 7' drift between his house, and his neighbors.

The governor of Massachusetts had to impose a travel ban, with a $500 fine for driving while the ban was in effect. The travel ban was just lifted at noon today.

I had power, but I was one of the lucky ones. I did lose internet and tv, and for a while last night, my phone wouldn't call out.

We were supposed to get 5 inches but so far it is looking like a bust, like we are on the rain side after all!

Now my son says 2 inches, should start any minute now.

I know you'll be well-prepared but do be safe after it hits and keep yourself warm 🤗

@faery Our water usually runs okay, but I do keep a gallon of it for when the water and sewer lines are being worked on.
faery · F
@4meAndyou You're definitely good to go, then 😌 Enjoy your books!
4meAndyou · F
@faery I will! Thank you!

Yuck! It is sunny and 70 here in Texas.

At least the low temperatures won't
be near zero (Fahrenheit) this time. 🙄
4meAndyou · F
@Thinkerbell And hopefully the warmer temperatures will continue and the snow will melt faster!

I hope you don't lose power. If you do just remember with your temperatures you can set your food outside on the balcony. Do you have a means to cook
4meAndyou · F
@Musicman Yes. If I wasn't such a private person I could hang out down in the community room, because there will be heat down there, AND there will be a generator powering the kitchen down there also, so that I COULD just use that kitchen.

BUT I prefer being on my own....chairs are softer...AND I have a little Sterno stove and plenty of Sterno.

I won't worry about the food in my fridge until the power is out for more than 24 hours.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@4meAndyou Well you know I am going to be praying for you. 🙏🙏🙏
4meAndyou · F
@Musicman God ALWAYS hears your prayers...and answers them!
dropped the totals for us big time in the last 1/2 hour
4meAndyou · F
@saragoodtimes I HOPE that's the case.

Make sure you have ID if you want to be an emergency snow shoveler in NYC!
