Plan B Forum

I got up extra early to get ready and leave early for my shift with 92-yr-old client today; went outside and was like WTF?! Dry as a bone!

Started drizzling on the way here. Right now, nothing. Hard to believe there will be a foot of snow or more before it's supposed to be done at 6/8pm. Maybe our little pocket isn't going to get hit?

Schools all closed and all government/city workers ordered to stay home, so at least the drive home shouldn't be too awful.

Anyone else getting any snow?

None here

Yeah but you have BIG creepy spiders, so HA!!

It's coming. Howling winds and splashy here on the beach, and the snow has just started. Blizzard warnings for later this morning.

Plus, they have all those arachnids.

Coming down hard now, looks like 2" in the past hour or so. Lots of lightning, too - thundersnow!!

Better watch out for:

Well, last night the tv weather gurus on CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, were all saying here in North Delaware the storm was coming, rain would begin about 4am and it would soon turn to snow about 7am, 5 inches per hour, and the morning rush hour would be FUBAR.
Again, here in Bear it was a near non-event. Rain started about midnight. The snow was gone by 9am, less than one inch on the car and grass, and the sun broke through the clouds by 10am.

And just up the road from Bear in beautiful, downtown, Kennett Square... just enough snow to be a nuisance.

However, after clearing my car off I walked to the mailbox and on my way back got hit with a sustained gust of wind that literally stopped me in my tracks and took my breath away. I'm still recouping as I type this.

The sun is now out, nice and bright, and my car looks like it never received a flake.

And tomorrow it could be 70° again -- who knows?

Here on the Jersey side of the Valley we got about 2 inches or so (they were calling for 5-9") which accumulated very rapidly, but then came to a sudden stop around 10 a.m. and has melted off the roads and sidewalks, sticking only to the grass.

It's been snowing steady, about 8" now - and really windy. Looking forward to my commute home at 5pm.

Make the best of the inclement weather.......

Roads are insanely bad! Stopped at my favorite Mexican joint for dinner, since they're open anyway - only three of us here!

Well, then at least the service should be pretty good...

We're suffering..

I had a margarita in front of me 2 minutes after sitting down, my food 10 minutes later. It was a really lovely meal, and I had a nice convo with the bartender about his family in Mexico and our thoughts about the Cheeto-in-Chief.

That looks like the possibility of convection to me. Be on guard for windburn. Good luck.

Official total in Farmingville was 14.5 inches. I measured anywhere from 12-18 inches depending on the drift. My company actually closed before a snowflake hit the ground.
I was outside most of the day, snowblowing my driveway and the neighbors. The guy next door works at a nursing home and usually has to stay there whenever a storm hits so I get his driveway cleared for him. Across the street I make sure they can get their cars out. Was going to to help my neighbor on the other side, but he just got a snowbower and was having his own with that.
Always fun playing in the snow.
Too bad the lake house didn't get much. Not enough for snowmobiling.
I did take out my RC snowmobile in the yard. The dog had fun chasing it.

Hope all the east coasters stayed safe.
