Snowpocalypse 2.0...brace for it midwest

[IndyColtsFan]

It is interesting to see oak trees whose bottom branches are typically 6 to 8 ft off the ground actually touching the ground.

Bunch of schools closed and sounded like almost everyone except us had a delay, but we really got a whole bunch of nothing. Little bit of ice on top of stuff but it's quite thin. Heard more today so who knows, could ramp up but I'm betting against it.

Okay. The local idiots most recently were saying "omgosh! 8" overnight tonight." Not a flake in the air, 2:08 am. I don't see any snow in NY yet either. Weak.

woke up to about 6 in Dansville

theres less here in Corning at work, the drive in was fine except around Bath where they didnt plow at all

other then that i drove 70 the entire way in

I'm near Binghamton, NY and there's only 3-4" on the ground now. It's coming down pretty good but I don't think it's supposed to go on for past the later afternoon. Sounds like it could start again tonight with some sleet though which would could be nasty.

I guess I am going to take my gas can to the gas station and fill up. Oh and change the oil in the snow blower.

Up here we are supposed to get 30cm so I don't see how you can get less than what we get since it is coming from the south.

 

[vi edit]

It's not supposed to kick in here until around noon. 6" between noon and 6:00PM. Then another 12" or more overnight. Then the 20-30MPH winds kick in early tomorrow AM and make things really fun. They are prediciting snowfalls in the 3-4" inch per hour at some points in the evening.

if you look at the map Binghamton is below the freezing rain line. or at least was last night when i watched the news

im ~90 miles north west of him and we are in the 1-2 foot range

 

[Homerboy]

We got about 6-7" last night (that's what she said).
News is reporting 4" around town, but I assure you, and my back assures you, it was 6-7".

2-3" more today
8-10" more tonight
25-35mph, gusts 50mph winds kick in late afternoon

woohoo! LOVING IT!

Edit: For the record too, VERY minimal school closings. As I walked/rode into work most driveways and sidewalks were clear as of 7am. God Bless people that know how to handle the weather.

One to two inches in central Iowa at present. simple dusting - jaws wrapped around again.

I need to go back home to get some decent snow

 

[Pantlegz]

They canceled tons of stuff here yesterday because of freezing rain and again today when we had like 1/2" of snow we're supposed to get 6"-1' but damn. Even the University that NEVER closes has been closed and it makes no sense. Hell even work called me at 5am to tell me not to worry about coming in! I really don't get it...

Someone else from the Lansing area :thumbsup: Haslett here :sneaky:

40m west of tulsa, we got bout 8" overnight, with little to no ice. Very, very strange for these parts. Normally it'd be 1" of ice with 2-3 of sleet/snow on top. 2' drifts in my yard

 

[TraumaRN]

Woke up to about 2 inches here in Metro Detroit, nothing fancy but pretty cold outside. They are standing by the 10-15 inches though for later on today.

you have your states confused

NY not MI

I am in Toronto (or as I call it, Tonto) so you should be getting similar to what we get.

Well we have Bath and Dansville too

yet again, the weathermen around the dc metro area were 100% wrong again. i think that gives them about a 5% accuracy rating this winter.

there isn't even any snow or ice in the forecast anymore.

hehehe says we are supposed to get Thundersnow tonight

All the hot air coming from inside the beltway forced the system northward

 

[vhx]

NE. Got a few inches. Don't see the big deal? Although we did have freezing rain yesterday which was a pain.

They closed schools for some reason; the roads weren't even that bad.

 

[vi edit]

For the east coasters saying they got nothing, isn't the big dump supposed to come in the next few days as this system moves through the midwest and pushes east?

strong winds when the front arrived this morning. power still on for most. possible snow on friday. ugh. it was 74F when i went to bed last nite.

 

[ArizonaSteve]

I love Arizona. But even here it's projected to drop below freezing for a couple of nights. Time to cover the plants up.
