Noreaster '06

[ChrisTheCop]

<p>Figured due to the impending &quot;noreaster&quot; set to affect the east coast in a few hours, I'd post a poll AND a forum to share our Noreaster 2006&nbsp; stories (horror and otherwise). Since it's a weekend, are any of you planning to go skiing? build a snow man? whatever? I'm at home sick anyway, so I'll be watching from my fatty pneumonia-style window.</p><p>&nbsp;Currently in nyc, it's 34 degrees, mostly cloudy, with some sun. </p><p>The question: within the 5 boroughs of nyc, How bad will it be by the time it's over tomorrow,&nbsp;noon?</p>

[Hottub]

I'm about 5 miles out of NYC, does my vote still count? I went with over 6. I hope the beer supply holds up!

[Heather 8]

I went with over six as well.&nbsp; They're calling for 8&quot;-13&quot; in my neck of the woods.<br />

[Tall_James]

8-15 in. predicted here in the Boston area.

[TheRealEddie]

8-13 predicted here in Princeton.<br />

[Heather 8]

Ooooh! *waves midget arms*&nbsp; It's snowing already!<br />

[FUNKMAN]

started to snow in Jackson about half hour ago or so. flakes have increased in size and weight. barometric pressure is normal and winds are out of the southeast at 20 knots

[WRESTLINGFAN]

<p>What amazes me are the dumb fucks who go to the grocery stores and buy up everything, thinking a major snow storm is armageddon, I see this alot living in Westchester County, yea theres going to be alot of snow but the streets will be driveable within hours after it snows</p>

[landarch]

It'll be a sigh of relief for Home Depot stockrooms.&nbsp; I went in for something completely snow unrelated and noticed that they made sure to take out all of the shovels and snowblowers that didn't sell over the season.&nbsp; Everything was all disheveled and dust covered, with mongrels everywhere picking through them.&nbsp; Its now snowing quite heavily around the Plainfield area.

[PapaBear]

<p>They're calling for 8 to 16 inches where I live. It's been snowing for 10 hours and there's barely an inch and the roads are just wet. I picked &lt;6.</p><p>In any case, delivering should be fun tonight.</p>

<p>I went out a few minutes ago to get some stuff for my mom at the store.&nbsp; I had to clean off the car, and the roads were ok, but it is definitly sticking.&nbsp; I have a feeling by noon Sunday we are going to be in it deep here in Huntington (Im staying at my parents to help them out). </p><p align="center"><img height="251" src="http://da.state.ks.us/ps/subject/winterfit/2004/snowstorm1.jpg" width="404" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/sad.gif" border="0" /></p>

[Snoogans]

we have complete road cover here. The busier roads arent fully covered cause of traffic, but every part of everything not driven on much is covered here<br />

[ChrisTheCop]

just so ya all know, monday's alternate side rules were suspended anyway due to lincolns b-day, so even though they always suspend it after a big storm, you know for sure in advance that you have an extra day to dig out.

[Tenbatsuzen]

<p>I'm really debating jumping in my truck and going past the spot I
had my accident just to conquer some fears.&nbsp; Conditions are
perfect for it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

My dad just tried to leave for work, couldn't even get out of the development before spinning out three times and coming back in the house much chagrined...

[ag]

They actually just said on the news that there is a GOOD chance of some
SNOW FLURRIES tonight. If I see snow, Im moving further south! From
what I've been told its snowed down here like 3 times in the past 10
years.<br />

<p>&nbsp;With all of this snow, I'm just wondering how Wadd, (or frosty or Crusty Jizzrag, or whatever the fuck his name is) is doing. My In-Laws just got back from South, South, South Argentina, and had no mention of a Wadd sighting!</p><p>What are you up to, Budday?</p>

<p>Though it's only snowed about 6 inches here, the roads have gotten <em>REALLY </em>bad. I barely made it though the night with deliveries.

<p>AWell it is two AM here in Spring Lake. Just got back from a run to the 7 11. Roads locally are not bad but the snow is blinding and the wind whips up to at least 30-40 mph. It is going to stay like this for a while. I think this thing is actually living up to what the media/reports are saying. We are 1/2 mile from the beach and the snow just started to stick here. I can only imgaine what it looks like back home in Union county.</p><p>&nbsp;My date and I are going to put in a movie on the laptop and watch a DVD, since the cable went out.(Thank god for technology) We anticipate leaving here at like 5 pm instead of check out time of 11.

<p>Snow has pretty much stopped here. Totals are in for NYC<br /></p><p><font> As the snowfall tapered off during the afternoon,
the National Weather Service reported that 24.8 inches had fallen by 1

<p>Man, this is one of the few times my whole body hurt after shoveling.&nbsp; 5 hours.&nbsp; I just didn't know where to start.&nbsp; We have a snow blower but where do you put all the snow?</p><p>I hit the main areas I need to shovel HARD for 2 hours, came in, took 3 Advil, washed it down with a LOOOONG drink of whiskey and chased that with 2 shots of Irish Creme.&nbsp; That helped out a little.</p><p>At least it's all clean and theres no more snow falling.&nbsp; My fucking arm actually cramped up as I was brushing my hair.&nbsp; Very gay.&nbsp; I think I'll finish that whiskey and fall asleep at like 9.</p>

It's melting faster than it fell, here. It's half gone already.

<p>My dad just called from Phoenix, laughing his ass off.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Heather 8]

<p>Bless ye, my li'l Ford Focus.&nbsp; My car pretty much obliterated
the pile of snow behind it.&nbsp; No such luck with the BF's Mustang,
though.</p><p>All in all, I feel a little gipped.&nbsp; There's maybe 4
inches on the ground, though there's a few monster drifts here and
there.<br />
</p><p>&nbsp;<br />
Now to see if I'll have work tomorrow; most of my co-workers live at
least a half-hour away from the office, and are prone to calling out if
it rains a little hard.&nbsp;</p>

I shoveled out my fathers&nbsp;100 ft driveway 4 times now, and Im dead!&nbsp; Then, I come in and find out that the cesspool backed up in the basement and we tried to fix that, so I was up to my elbows in shit water!!&nbsp; We couldnt fix it and now called RotoRooter.&nbsp; So right now I cant wash up unless its into a pail, and if I need to crap... no flushie!!&nbsp; Im so wiped out!&nbsp; Meanwhile Dick Cheneys shooting people!

[Tenbatsuzen]

<p>So who is going to work tomorrow?</p><p>I will probably go in late.&nbsp; Sadly, I just realized that all of the station's trucks will probably be plowed in and inaccessible.&nbsp; One of the trucks has 4WD, but the other is 2WD... which means it's diggin' time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p> &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

I was planning on going to work.&nbsp; It's not the end of the world, it's a fucking snow storm.&nbsp;

<p>all the trees and bushes take a beaten with all the heavy snow hanging on e'm. i saw alot of broken branches on the way to work and branches hanging to near the ground from all the weight...</p><p>all my bushes in the front get bent to shit... most of them bounce back pretty good but it's alot of extra work shaking the snow out of them. i scrape off what i can from the top and then come underneath with a rake and start pushing and shoving to shake the snow down... talk about some huffin and puffin</p>

[Hottub]

WOW! They did a real shitty job plowing around here. All the roads are iced over. Never broke 20 mph all the way in.

[Heather 8]

<p>I may or may not make it in today.&nbsp; The stretch of road I live
on has about an inch of ice on it, and the parking lot of my complex is
a fucking skating rink.</p><p>&nbsp;Figures I have to call out at the start of my third week at this place.<br />
</p>

[walking joint]

i commute from LI to NJ and the ride wasn't that bad.&nbsp; the local roads on LI sucked, as they usually do.&nbsp; they were plowed, but there was alot of ice under the snow and its still there.&nbsp; hopefully the sun will do its part today.&nbsp; the highways were for the most part clear.&nbsp; though there were random spots on the Cross Island and Route 80 that all of a sudden the lane just seemed to end due to snow piles.&nbsp;

[TheQuestion]

Isn't it amazing how everything went back to normal today?

You'd think the world was going to end based on the media's coverage of the storm this weekend.

[ChrisTheCop]

<p>I know, I know, the storms over, and so should be this thread,&nbsp;but i just wanted to point out that ALL of the snow on my jeep melted off by 4 pm when i went out, including the medium-jeep-high plow drift that had me boxed in last night! I didnt have to brush of one iota of snow from my car.</p><p>The sun was so bright, and constant all day, plus my car is black, so i guess it was warming from both sides. i dunno. I'm just happy. </p><p>but i wont&nbsp; be telling my grandkids how easy i had it in the blizzard of 06, no sir. </p>
