Snow!!!!

[Donna]

It has arrived in NJ. Now we wait and see how much!

[Dumpsterkitty]

It hasn't gotten here yet, but I decided to come in to work for a few hours to get a head start in case it's slow traveling in the morning.

But, according to my backyard birds it may not be too bad.  I filled the feeders on Friday.  Usually if there's bad weather coming they're empty by nightfall.  When I left the house they had only gone through 1/3 of the seed.  We'll see.

My birds disappeared, only Mr Squirrel out there having a feast!

Even the squirrels weren't scarfing it down.  Normal leisurely snacking.  Got home at 4:30 & feeders were at the halfway point and still some seed on the ledge.  I refilled, of course, but it's just odd. 

People were driving like there was a foot on the ground already, but it was blowing right out of the tire tracks down to dry, bare pavement.

I know this is a strange question, but is there a storm headed for Rochester & thereabouts too?

So, how is everyone doing?  Just very light snow in Rochester.

So, how is everyone doing?  Just very light snow in Rochester.

Accuweather is calling it "Blizzapolis".  And that may be true in NYC and along the coast, but here in Ulster county each time I check the predicted accumulation is lower than the last time.  5.8 inches is nothing to scoff at, but certainly no blizzapolis.

Probably have a little over 3 inches now but the wind is whipping and the snow is blowing. Where's that calm peaceful snow?

[Dumpsterkitty]

And only in NYC will you find 12 people, a snowblower and 2 bucket  (small) loaders to clear 3 inches of snow from one city block.



From the haggis cam...

I think we had about 10 inches but the drifts were up past my knees. The wind is still awful.

[Dumpsterkitty]

I got maybe 3-4 inches by my house.  The roads are clear but a little slick.  Took me an extra 15 minutes to get to work.  People who could walk here are calling out due to weather.  I just don't get it.

Ei! You are actually working today?? OMG! Ireland will be all tucked up til this time next week... which probably goes some way towards explaining why the IMF is taking over...

Well, we're used to this.  You're not.  And I work in health care.

Bless you and all others who work in health care, Ei! They have a tenacity at which I can only marvel.

3-4 inches is like a light dusting here in Rochester!  

Everyone be safe out there!

It is sunny here but chilly! I know "be quiet!"  But hearing your snow reports I hope all of you are careful up there and make sure you have extra goodies and blankets in your cars.  Stay safe and warm!
