<p> Yes - they have been talking up this storm for  2 days here.  Lines at the gas pumps all  over.    it just started snowing here a half hour ago. I woud just as soon not lose power- we are watching a neighbor's pets down the road.  If power goes out thier fish are doomed I'm afraid.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>   We are all set - DH went to work to retrieve our generator, I cleaned up the yard - got out the shovels and brought in some wood. </p>
<p> They are predicting  12-18' here over the next day or so.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Have you gotten snow this weekend? How much?     </p>

<p>We're supposed to get 12-16 (Weather Channel) or 10-19 (National Weather Service). My wife works in a town on the ocean - it's supposed to get 14-23. She thinks she'll be working tomorrow.<span><img alt="toothy9.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/toothy9.gif"></span></p>

<p>We never get snow....my snowblower sits sadly in the garage.</p>

 

[markalan]

<p>L.I. NYC sucks, been snowing since noon, snowblowed twice, snow blowing sideways</p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>Getting anywhere from 4-14 inches. Who knows. I hate snow. We got the generator out and gassed up an fire wood inside. Sigh</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We did take Zoe out for a sled ride before dinner though!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Instead, we are supposed to get freezing rain/rain/45* temps by Friday....good-bye to snowshoeing, and hello to street 'n' basement flooding</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Zoe in a snow suit is way too cute for words.</p>

<p>At 9 PM we've already had about 7 inches.  We're forecasted to get anywhere from another 5 to 11 inches.  I've been shoveling on and off every hour or so.  Trying to keep ahead of it.  I might try to get to work tomorrow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The more interesting part is, though, that our heater is on the fritz.  Nice time to fail.  During a blizzard with 40 mph wind gusts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get someone out to fix it.  Meanwhile, all the kids will sleep in one bedroom tonight, and I'll put our space heater in there.  Me and Mrs. Tee will survive.  The heater is working about 50% of the time now, so I'm trying to heat the house up as much as I can before we go to bed, getting it as warm as possible.  It's up to 71 degrees now, which is hot, but I'm guessing sometime in the middle of the night, it won't go on anymore.  I'm sure that our bedroom is baking by now, it's always the warmest room in the house.</p>

<p>Light snow here - very uneventful.</p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>We were supposed to get like 8-14, but got MAYBE 4, whew. I think we are on the edge of it, and looks like some places in the tristate area got up to 20+ inches. Whew. There will be more Zoe pictures to come!</p>

<p>  I think we have about  6" on the gorund .. but the wind is drifitng it around so it's hard to tell!  Still snowing but I bet DH a  $1  that we woudl get at least a foot.. I may be a loser this time around !</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>  John - I am always  glad to share - shall I  send  you a box of snow to play in ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meri -  Zoe is  so cute ! She must love the snow even if you don't so much! </p>
<p> </p>
<p> Techtee- Did you get your heater fixed?  That's a bummer.  Dh was an oil heat tech for a few years so we hav in house service luckily.. and wood stoves. Be careful with the space heater!</p>
<p>    </p>
<p>Gretreiver -  You guys should get abit.. though down the cape and the south shore there was a lot os rain from what the news was showing.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>4/100 people based on our floor, made it in to the office.</p>

<p>I snapped this view up 7th Avenue from my office in Times Square.</p>

<p>I had gotten the heat up to around 70 before I went to bed, then turned it down.  When I woke at 6 AM, it was at about 64, which is fine.  The heat kicked on and worked, but a lot of time it would shut off.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We haven't called "the guy" yet, but it will be an issue, since they haven't plowed our street yet.  I don't expect it until the afternoon, or even after dark.  They take forever.  So, "the guy" might have a difficult time getting to my house.<br>

<p>3 1/2" hours to shovel/plow out the house and neighbor, not fun</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Roads still not plowed, commute in the morning not going to be fun<span><img alt="mad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/mad.gif"></span></p>

 

[RaisingArizonainNH]

<p> </p>
<p>   Wow..  we have  good plowing here  -that is a long time to wait to be cleared out.. but I suppose the  large amounts makes it a challenge.  It is bright sunny and cold her today.  The only  loss here was an entire feeder of  bird seed got blown out all over the dooryard!  The little birds will eat most on it anyway! </p>
<p>    We had  3 of shoveling yesterday and it went a lot faster than  I expected.</p>

 

[Floridaboiler]

<p>No snow down here,  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>  just cold weather!</p>
