Huge fat flakes falling at about two inches an hour here. Headed your way.

The heavy wet stuff like this pretty much guarantees that I will be out pulling a generator start rope tonight sometime.
 
looks like I will be spared in NE PA... staying south and east...
 
It's been coming down since noon here. Yep, big wet flakes.
 
Ahhhh its nothing, we live for it up here....4-8 inches for us might use the broom lol a dusting for sure!
North of me they get Snow vt,nh, and Maine oh yea west to upstate ny ... we always seem to miss the big ones, except for maybe every 10 years or so
 
Thats when it's nice to be retired guy :) Looking out the back porch.

Looks like we are going to be spared for the most part- maybe 4 inches. Southeast of here though may be in for a long night.
 
SE PA checking in here (Bucks County)

They were saying before I went to bed last night to 'expect' 1" to 2" this morning, rain in the afternoon then another 4" to 6" tonight. Well.... we got 6"+ this morning and the temps never really dropped to get the rain, it just stopped for a while, I wonder what tonight is really going to bring. (?)
 
Missing us here for a change, everyone else have fun shoveling :lol:
 
Here we are in between fronts. Down to 28°f. (10° - 15° above avg still)
Had a touch of freezing rain last night. Driveway & side roads very slick.
1-2" snow predicted tomorrow.

Hang in there, your Spring is close.
 
Just made a plow run down my 878' downhill S-curve driveway known as "the road to the road". Not a minute too soon. In another hour I don't think I could have gotten through this wet heavy stuff. Should be over in another three hours. Another plow run in an hour or so.
 
I love it. Forecast is for 12" plus tonight in southeastern Ct. I'll take that and more.

Having just bought a shiny new Ariens 30" blower with heated grips, I feel like a kid with a new toy out there.
 
< is not amused >:-( .
 
real bad here, snowed til noon then sleet then rain now heavy sleet and going back to snow. heavy snow.
 
Coming down at a rapid pace here, roughly 20 miles north of Harrisburg. We didn't get anything last night or this morning, so I guess it is making up for it now.
 
Was supposed to be all rain until last night. They changed it to 6-10 now 12"+ lol. After work today i made a last minute scramble to get some more wood covered and now it's off to bed. Get to go play Mr. Plow around 1am..

Hope you were able to push it back far enough.
If your winter snow continues, you may have a narrow driveway by the end of the season.

I pushed mine way back like normal, then it melted, what a year
 
It was not suppose to start here in central jersey till after 5:00...just a little rain....then snow. It started snowing at 8:00 stopped around 3 and has been hailing since. Yesterday they said it was going to be 3 inches max...now they are saying 8 - 12.

I didnt beleive the reports so I high tailed it out of Hartford where I was last night...

Wife is happy...

Don't forget to clean all that wet sticky stuff off before storing it.
 
Lost power three hours ago. Up on the genny now. Looks like we will top out around eight inches or so.

BB good luck, lst time we had an ice storm up here I lost power for 3 1/2 days some people for a week. Hope you have plenty of gas for that generator. Warren :roll:

Yep. The little gas sipping one is carrying the load right now. Got twenty gallons in the shed. A different shed, not with the gennys. One sitting next to it is twice its capacity. We have been out for a week twice in the last four years, three times for a week in the last eight years. Don't think it will be that long this time though.
 
Hang in there, BB !!

I've got 4 busted pipes, luckily, I've got the sources shut off, and we don't need the 3rd bathroom. Gonna be posting in the DYI for fixes !!

I'm thinking about moving the kitchen downstairs and adding a coal stove *insert Dix incites riot here* %-P *
