New England Nor'Easter

[Jigfishn10]

Today is about 60* and my car automatically, for whatever reason, switched to air conditioning mode. Tonight we have a nor'easter coming our way with about 6" plus of the white fluffy stuff. 

Thankfully, being a true New Englander, my snow brush is in my car ready to go from last season. ?

We are projected to get 4-8" here. When I walked out back after lunch (working remotely all week) I saw a bunch of birds, three huge squirrels and they were all eating. They know the snow's coming.

You been out of CT for too long. ?

How’s it going my friend

12" or more possibly up to 16" here in Southern Maine. Maybe heavy stuff. A wide area of southern/central Maine expected to have power out. I've got a dual fuel generator for the pellet stove and TV/internet.  I'd just as soon have a couple feet of the fluffy stuff but I'll take what I can get. 10hp blower primed and pointed out the garage. Ready for it... WooHoo!!! Been waiting for this for awhile.

Where in southern Maine? I have a house in K-Port, can you go see if she’s still standing? I have a feeling this isn’t gonna be light fluffy stuff. ?

South Florida recently had temperatures in the high 40s-low 50's which is the lowest temperatures since the beginning of the year. From what I researched this has been a cold Winter so far for many states. This is the time of year where snowbirds start traveling to Florida for fishing and I can't blame them since few people enjoy fishing in less than 40 degree weather.

I'm 5 miles in from the coast in real Southern Maine and as of this moment it's pouring rain. It's supposed to change to snow tonight with 5-7 " expected. The snowblower is on the tractor, plenty of gas for the genny. I guess I'm ready to go.

They keep upping our forecast. As of 2:37 PM ( just outside of Kittery)  we are up to a possible 14" of the white stuff.

We were supposed to get the tail end of the snow tonight but it’s switching to a wintery mix now 

 

Good luck to you all in the North Country

About 20 miles away from me. The only way it might not be standing is if it has a flat roof (sometimes) or near some big trees. Ya, it's coming down very wet.

I usually enjoy the snow, but I'm not really a fan of the rain snow mix. When we were kids it just snowed. I miss that.

11 pm news says we got 9 inches here in Acton. I see one inch of slush on the ground outside my door. So disappointing.

[jbmaine]

Well, this was a bust. We ended up with about 2" of frozen slushy white stuff.

[Jigfishn10]

Yep, nothing to speak of here. Driveway is clear, just gotta push some snow off the car. If anything, I have to drain my pool again and redo the Xmas decorations from the wind and rain.

Boy, they better not say we’re still in drought conditions.

You guys must have the same weatherman that we do

It was a weird day and night. At times the snow would come down and pile up, then switch over to flooding rain. The winds were pretty strong throughout.

I have to chase the trash barrels today as well, forgot to tie those up. ?
