Well folks, the snows here in the north east(usa) the're saying 12-20 inches for me here in the hudson valley and 2-3 feet for Boston and points north / east. So please any one here stay safe and home if you can! As for me, I must go do battle with the beast they call Nemo, wish me luck, it's going to be a long next 30 hours or so clearing roads.

P.s. Please don't write to much, I'm already way behind in my reading! LOL!

It's over for us
They called for 25 centimetres and boy, I can believe it. I was out there with the snowblower and it came up past my knees! Luckily the storm's left us. I can't believe you guys are expecting about double what we got.
I'm patiently waiting for Monday when the weather will go back up to 4°C and then rain washes away this mess. I just hope there's no follow up freeze. I'm so tired of all the salt.
Snow here and in Boston area is OK :-)
Sandstorm in February would have been much worse :-)
And safety first while cleaning all that snow! And enjoy yourself! My best pastime of them all is racing through the snowstorm :-)

WBR,
Racer, quite manic, especially in February :-)

I'm still fightin' the beast!
8 inches and counting. On break for an hour & half, still snowin' like crazy, but thankfully not much wind yet. I hope everyone's being safe out here. Oh and Erin, if you want more snow I have more than my share and I'm willing to share it with you! (giggles) . Seriously though, if your in the northeast please be safe out there! Jenn, thanks for the PM & I will hon. (Hugs) Taarpa
Why can't that Nemo
keep himself on his submarine the Nautilus instead of causing so much trouble?

On naming storms
For some reason, the Weather Channel came up with the ridiculous idea of naming winter storms this season. The only storms that should be named are tropical storms and hurricanes. The practice of naming winter storms is not endorsed by meteorologists at the National Weather Service, nor is it endorsed by any meteorology professors, including my meteorology professor. We've all gotten a kick out of it and laughed about it in class. So, as a meteorology major, I implore everyone to stop referring to these storms by their assigned names, because it's as laughable as all of the inaccuracies in the film Twister.
Cheers,
Drew
