Halloween storm

[MLESa7990]

Anyone else in New England enjoying this misery? We are expecting 10-15 inches of this heavy, wet mess overnight. Too early for this!

Oh yeah, here in southern PA we have over 6" so far. They are saying 26 degrees tonight too... I just put the snow plow on my Jeep and PLOWED my freakin driveway open.... in Oct !!!

The trees are coming down like crazy also, there are hundreds of thousands here without power....I had to fire up our house generator too, as we have been without power since this AM. Where I live I expect to be out for awhile ...Tomorrow the power could be out all over the northeast!

Unbelievable!

Yep, I'm in western Connecticut. 680' driveway with about 200' foot step hill at the road. Been maintaining it myself with snow blowers for the past 2 decades but now at 67 years of age it is getting very old. This wet heavy snow is the worst. I'd rather have 2' of the fluffy stuff than 6" of this wet heavy stuff.

Got many tree branches already down on my property. Lost power once for a short bit and also experienced a brown out. If we keep power thru this storm I'll be very thankful.

I pray for the safety of you'll and all the folks that have to be out in this storm because of their jobs.

Hope you all keep that mess back east! Haven't got my snow tires on the Harley yet.

Brutal front - we're down to 60 degrees here in central Texas.

we could sure use that 6 inches of wet snow here in NE Texas. I think we're still about 50% deficient on rainfall this year. Our lakes and rivers are near record low, and if we don't get the underground aquifers recharged soon our water wells are gonna suffer. (we also have to protect what water we have here from the City of Dallas that's 100 miles away

[O'Dell]

Yeah it's rough - only got to 59 here in Atlanta today. Sorry Guys. If you're in the NE you have my sympathies. I hate snow. I hope you still have power.

[MLESa7990]

still have power here and the fireplace is ripping

You're kidding, right?!

[O'Dell]

He may be kidding but Jocko wouldn't be.

10+ inches here in S. Maine and still coming down! Yikes, never seen this in 45+ years here.

Here in Indiana last year we had that crazy blizzard that dropped 23", luckily it was the fluffy stuff. It was a lot of fun though, I love a lot of snow. It's even more fun when my daily driver is a rwd 350hp sports car. Thank God for snow tires lol.

What a mess this morning! Wet heavy snow, about a foot on the cars and grass and about 6" or so on the driveway. My newer bigger snowblower kept clogging due to leaves and the very wet snow. Lots of clog ups because I'd have to stop to shake tree branches to get them lift up off the driveway. My son got the older MTD 8hp blower out and it actually handled the wet snow a lot better than the big machine. Smaller bite and years ago put in an upgrade kit sweeps the 2nd stage shoot. Son got off to work at just about his regular time. I've got a few hours of clean up left to do to clear all the snow - my car, the walkway,steps.

Don't even want to think about how much chain saw work needs to done. It'll have to wait, packing my gear for tomorrow and off to do some bowhunting on family property in central PA.
