So who's in the path of the blizzard?

[cattledogkisses]

We're in the 18-24" area. And our furnace just died tonight. 

Over the next seven days we're supposed to get over 3' of snow, if the forecasts are to be believed. After this storm they're saying another 1-3" Wednesday, 8-12" Friday, and 5-8" Saturday. 

[pixy0stix]

67 degrees here tomorrow. So not me.

[FloFTW]

I keep hearing about this but I haven't checked yet.

[memenee]

In jersey, supposed to get hit with anywhere from 8-24"! DD1s school just announced a half day tomorrow in anticipation. Snow supposed to start sometime tomorrow afternoon.

I'm on my second round of cough till you vomit virus and actually broke down and started the steroid treatments today. So, you know, for the next six says I am not at all responsible for what I do on this board.

[cattledogkisses]

Here's where I admit the most stupidly first world problem ever: I was supposed to have my hair done Tuesday afternoon and I'm disappointed that I will have to reschedule. Salon appointments are my zen. Sigh.

[jillboston]

yep. they are calling it "catastrophic" and "historic". over 2 feet - maybe 3?

Oh no. Last time I was on steroids I legit grew a beard. Godspeed.

Its apparently skipping us now. Our forecast gets downgraded every time I check.

I still intend to work from home.

[penguingrrl]

We're getting somewhere between 1" and 24". It's an incredibly useful and helpful forecast.

[mbcdefg]

I'm in North Jersey, about 20 miles from NYC. Sounds likes it's going to be bad.

[Velar Fricative]

24-36". Not much.

Balt City is already delayed tomorrow. I expect a huge (and by huge, I mean 1-3") event.  I am okay with this for sure.

[eponinepontmercy]

We're supposed to get anywhere from 6 inches to 2 feet.

I've been following the forecast and, well... it's been nice knowing you NYC. 

[sushi]

I don't think we're getting much. I won't know about delay until the morning. I highly doubt it will affect me despite the last forecast mentioning "several" inches.

LOL!

[Velvetshady]

We're guessing we'll get 8-12" based on current forecasts ( we have to guess because at our altitude, we almost always get 50-100% more than they tell us we'll get. We've already got a nice layer of slush/ice from the melting today so even if we only get a bit, we'll be stuck. DH said he thought he'd be back in the office Thurs--then he looked at the future forecast--maybe next week.

This is the part that sucks about working from home, as long as the power is on, I'm supposed to be working--no snow days:(

[CloudBee]

I don't know who to believe. I'm hearing anywhere from 2-3'.

Our heat pump is broken. They are coming to look at it tomorrow -but if it's part of the computer, they will have to order that. We can use the emergency heat setting, but it's going to cost us a fortune.

The unit is brand new!

It's like Murphy's Law; always right before a snowstorm. Hope it's an easy fix!

Thank goodness we have two woodstoves. We can keep it comfortable in here until the repair people come over tomorrow.

At the moment, we're in the 24-36" zone.

Fuck winter.

I think you're closer to the city than me. I'm west on the turnpike for a bit and I'm still seeing 10-15" up here, 24" by the end of Tuesday.

[Melissa W.]

36 fucking inches..

[Deleted]

We are. I'm 20ish miles NE of Philly and the forecast here is 14-24". My mom is here to watch DD tomorrow and probably won't be able to go home until late Tuesday. I already have Tuesday off (I work pt) so I hope I can get to the liquor store on my way home tomorrow bc ~30 hours with her is usually my limit.

[cattledogkisses]

I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow. There's probably going to be no good time of day to do that, is there?

Can you go very early in the morning?

How much stuff do you need - a few essential items or a whole week's worth? The express lines might get through quick.

Milk, yogurt, and bread shelves at my store were pretty bare earlier tonight.

I don't think she's close to the turnpike at all?

I think that is where she was when younger...now, she is MD, right?

Right but not for this storm lol.


Someone on my local just said tomorrow PM will be bad for us? Who knows!

I've seen from 3"-11", depending on where you are here.  I just want a snow day, lol.
