NorthEast Blizzard

[Bearcarver]

It's been a long time since we had one this big.

Started snowing at 10 AM yesterday.
Snowed 6" yesterday, hardly any overnight.
Snowed all day today, including a couple hours of 4" Diameter Flakes galore, adding 3" of depth per hour.
We're at 18" right now, with 6" to 10" more coming tonight & tomorrow.
Supposed to move away at about 6 PM tomorrow.

Last one we had like this was a 2 1/2 day "NorEaster" snow that accumulated 31"---Long time ago!

Bear. (Polar??)

That's a bunch. I lived in Alaska for 6 years when I was younger. Loved the snow. Can't handle the snow and cold anymore. We did get a snow here in tennessee this morning.....melted already lol

According to the Newfoundland who just came from outside, the snow just started here in New Hampshire. The 175lb yard bear is my barometer for the weather around here. We are looking at up to 18" possibly with howling winds. Definitely a good Nor'easter gonna tear through.

I say I only liked snow when I was a kid and that's because I didn't know any better.
About 3" over night here drizzle of rain most of the day now sleet and going back to snow.

Sounds about right !!
Bear Jr has a Chocolate Lab now, but before that he had a bear of a Newfi, named "Othello". He lasted almost 13 years, and many people mistook him for a Black Bear, even though his weight was only between 155 and 160. He was All Black except for a little white Diamond on his chest. Beautiful Dog!!

Othello is a great name! You pretty much described our newf with the color. He's gonna be 7 in the next few weeks. We get every "bear" joke everywhere we take him.

We have been pretty slow on snow here in Michigan. Best snow I have seen in my life was in Erie, PA. They get pounded. I don't think we've a foot here in sw michigan total.

LOL---They had 2 Kitties too, "Cheech & Chong", and they used to sleep right on him. He didn't care. In the summer they would get him a haircut, all but his head & tail. He hated it, and when somebody would come to visit, he'd run and hide, because he was embarrassed without his thick Newfi Coat. He didn't want anybody to see him that way.

That there is BBQ weather. Days like that make me very glad I moved from Boston to California many years ago.

 

[Wurstmeister]

Last time I saw weather like that was in 1986 in Frederick, MD. 1987 we were back in SC! And I would have gone back to San Antonio if there was a job there!

I'm in the snow belt, and have dealt with it my entire life. Some years it takes a #12 grain shovel with some elbow grease to dig out from big storms. But I have a sleigh shovel (sled shovel), it takes the same effort as a shopping cart at WallyWorld and I can move an amazing amount of snow in an hour or two. You fill it up, tilt back and glide over to dump wherever. It's like a manual front end loader.
