You guys got spared this time but I know all too much how bad you have it near the lake. It starts in October and is done in April

Love Nova Scotia. Two years ago in the summer at Peggy's Cove saw waves crashing on the rocks almost as tall as the lighthouse! If it gets that windy there with cold and snow I can't imagine what it;s going to look like!

Yes when there is storm serge and high winds , that is an amazing place to be . But we lose a few tourists every year on the rocks there that want their picture taken down on the black rocks with the waves splashing behind them. We have had lots of signs warning people to stay away from the rocks , especially the black rocks ( meaning high water mark )
It is a great place for really nice ocean views , the rocks and the lighthouse ( all of the coast line is like this and lots of beautiful coastal villages , Peggy's Cove just became the place to see )
So they had to put up fencing and take away from the beauty to try to stop the people drowning...they still jump the fence and still cost us lots of money to try to save their dumb asses.
Can't fix STUPID... Sorry had to rant.

Yes I bet it is very bad right on the coast today. Its now blowing from the east will be freezing rain in a couple hoours than maybe rain by midnight.
I haver to go out and try to move some of the snow around , But blowing very hard

I lived in Buffalo NY in January 1966 when we had the worst and famous "Blizzard Of 1966". We were stranded at a friend's house for 3 days when we got close to 8 feet of snow in a short time. Our friend's house had snow drifts due to high wind of about 10 feet. At the house's lower level all the windows and door were blocked by snow. Now I'm dreaming of Florida...!!!!

Yes, famous quote by Forest Gump: "Stupid is as stupid does"! We spent a whole day at Peggy's Cove and had a wonderful time. Took a lot of pictures with the giant lobster and on the rocks near the lighthouse but never got too close to the wet area.

Yes it is a very busy place there , bus loads of folks going there everyday day. My wife grew up just up the coast, now we are inland a bit. But only 45 minute drive . We boat and fish in those waters . Love the ocean . But she can be nasty ....Ocean not the wife as she might read this lol

The snowfall total when this is said and done will certainly be counted in feet.

My totally awesome neighbor has taken upon himself to plow out his neighbors.He's done my driveway THREE times already,my back thanks him!He'll be swimming in Grey Goose when this is over.

We've had it mild so far, thank goodness. Last three years we had snow in May as well.

I was talking to some guys today. I well remember the Blizzard of '78. They weren't born until maybe 30 years later. We all laughed.

I told them to remember this storm. It will be their '78. I also told them to remember me when they tell their buddies about the Blizzard of '22... 30 years from now.

My '78 will be their '22. Historic memories will be made with this one.

Maybe not. This storm hits during a weekend. No cars to get stuck on the highways. But... we should still be able to jump out of the second-story window into the snowbank below. It's a Massachusetts thing.

We'll see.

Funny you should mention it, but I well remember the '78 blizzard. I'd been at an HVAC class in LaCross, WI and it hit while on my way home.
Got as far as Gary, IN (living in Terre Haute then) and they had Hwy41 closed. No hotel vacancies. I cut over to Illinois and South on Hwy1 which was somewhat
plowed for some reason and I remember seeing the top 2ft of a semi on the side at one point. Snow was piled 8 to 10 ft on both sides. Like driving through a tunnel.
Finally made it home ok to find that my pregnant (ex)wife had been pulling people out of ditches with our F100 just for fun LOL!
"Climate Change" my a**, there has ALWAYS been weird weather....

Pushing 2 feet here on LI. So what do you do after blowing the snow and it is 14 degrees and a blizzard?

Dig a path to the Hot Tub!

Turn on the music, dress appropriately, Ok I went in with flip flops and a towel, wife is smarter than me.

Grab some drinks and enjoy. My beer was freezing into a slushy on the edge of the hot tub and the temp of the water dropped from 101 to 97 while we were in it.

They are everywhere here in NY, then again some of the beer distributors around here have bigger IPA isles than my grocery stores have meat!

As I tell people, my favorite beer is next one I haven’t had yet. I usually make it out around Atlanta NY about once a year but not recently due to Covid and a now 2 year old (he isn’t road trip tested yet). I love the beer scene out there.

I think by 2 years old it wasn't safe to leave a beer anywhere when my son was that age.
