Turned on every fan I own. But them outside and pointed them all to the east. Seems to be working, storm is going out to sea but I appear to have pulled in some Canadian cold air with a temp of 0 right now. I'll take that over more snow.

Yesterday early morning walking the pup in -24 deg C (-28 with windchill). -23 C this morning and pretty much same for tonight. I think we tied or broke another coldest day record. I shoveled a foot or so off the roof at camp last weekend just as a precaution, anticipating a couple more snowstorms before "Spring" gets here. Cleared the driveway, there's a good chance I'll still be running the snowblower in April. Snow covered the propane tank completely, my utility trailer is somewhere in the front yard (I hope 
). Standing on @ 5' of snow pack at the edge of the shoreline - looking down at the tops of a couple of small alders sticking up between my feet. With the southern exposure this stretch usually is the first to melt down to the rocks but it's not even close right now. The folks along the rivers here are worried - if we get a quick warm up now and all this lets go fast there's gonna be a big mess.
I got through the last couple winters with 1 tank of propain keeping me at a no freeze. This season I started with 60%, ran that down to almost empty, filled up, used well over half of that already, and looking to fill again in a couple weeks.
I never thought I'd say it, but I miss my lawnmower....

Not a good day to be fishing George's Bank....New England lucky! Nantucket , 275 mi. from center of storm had gust to 83 mph![[Hearth.com] Winter Update.](/talk/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FBjp0HwrIIAE_2kE.png&hash=8ffc8425a6d7ee1e5c9fe9dcc124db35 "[Hearth.com] Winter Update.")
Winds just kicked in here. Supposed to gust to 40++ . Impressive for being a few hundred miles from the storm.

Radio today talking about that weather bomb hitting the Maritimes. 50 cm new snow and wind gusts to 160km/hr in some areas. Stay warm and safe out there...
Ya, we're getting weather bombed all right. Started at my place about 3 hours ago. Supposed to get in the area of 16" (for you who don't speak cms.) of snow, with blizzard conditions.
The real kicker is, they're saying the same thing is coming for Sunday, all over again.
This has been the craziest longest hardest winter I can remember. Isn't it almost April for *****'s sakes?
(Insert favourite cuss word...)

I think someone here coined some new "months" last season ("Marchuary", or something like that...?).
It was -25 C (-32 with windchill) at 6:00 a.m. today. The usual walk with the pup and freezing my a$$ off again. Crazy. But at least it's a bright sunny day now and the temp is climbing - I think we're looking at approaching freezing temps by the weekend (but a bit of snow likely attached to that system).
I feel for you guys out along the east coast, this winter is circling back for yet another kick in the gut.
joe joyce tweet, Jonesboro ,Me buoy gusts @ 101,107mph. storm on nws @ 961mb.hang on Halifax.118/mph @2pm

The Maritimes are going to get slammed so is downeast Maine. It's cold here today, was windy earlier but I see signs that we may see sunshine before the afternoon's done. Here's hopin' the next one rides in on a warmer air mass.
a different look at the storm http://earth.nullschool.net/#curren...level_pressure/orthographic=-65.62,43.25,3000
That "visual" perfectly coincides with the increase in wind we've seen in the past couple of hours. It was "calm" for a spell, guess the "eye" was moving past.
This should be a vid from Grand Etang NS (If I can make it work)
Not bad...170kph wind they say.

Very nice, and shows why they're called nor'easters.
And here is a good graphic (IMO) showing how the storm will suck in cold air behind it. Very cold in some places.

Fess up. You wanted to be a weatherman. Didn't ya?
It's great. I get a better storm prediction here than I do on the local news. Better links to maps that have all the info too.
I'm just glad Doug is on the east coast close (relatively speaking) by. It's a much more thorough outlook than accuweather.
Thanks Doug!
I lost math in the 50's with the change to what was called "modern math", to be truthful I quit on it. no math background early, no meteorology chance. have a day. what I post is not my stuff. I always try to give credit from it's source. read people I respect.
noaa sees winter this way![[Hearth.com] Winter Update.](/talk/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com%2F2014%2F03%2Fncdc_feb_2014.png%3Fw%3D640%26h%3D393&hash=578c2ebecad9f9d661e0f89aa4160467 "[Hearth.com] Winter Update.")

Is it just me, or does anyone else get an ominous chill seeing that "Noah" trailer run, just before they roll the weather clip?
