Jenny#s

[glw]

Are you totally buried in snow? I keep seeing photos of Boston and thinking, "That's like 2 Jennys deep!"

[sapphire bou]

Haha! "2 Jennys deep"

That snow is crazy!

[lizardesque]

I think that "the Jenny" should be the new standard measure of snowfall.

[jennynumbers]

Yup. The snowblower no longer throws snow on top of existing piles of snow. It doesn't reach. It has snowed nearly every other day! We were supposed to get 2 inches yesterday and ended up with 6". However, we are not as bad as Boston. I think they received something like 8' of snow so far, with another storm slated for Sunday with a potential for "significant" snow.

It has been SO cold! So nothing is melting. So many people I know are getting water flooded into their house from the ceiling, pouring into their walls and seeping into carpets. It's pretty bad. Intersections are ridiculous. I have to inch out so slowly and hope a car, that I can't see over the snowbank, doesn't hit my front end.

I just saw this:

Things are getting weird. lol

[jennynumbers]

Yeah it's crazy. All the streets are turning into one-ways (Even number is one way and odd number another.) They ran/running out of salt, people are skiing down streets, sledding off roof tops.

People are going nuts.

These aren't my pictures. From Buzzfeed "24 pictures that perfectly sum up Boston."

[alabasterangel]

What are you suppose to do with it? Like haul it inside a bucket at a time and let it melt in your bathtub?

[jennynumbers]

To keep all this snow-fun rolling, we got snow last night that wasn't even in the forecast. Only an inch, but after shoveling/snowblowing almost every single day, any little bit sucks.

IT JUST KEEPS FALLING!!!!!!!!

In all seriousness, how are some people surviving? Like, if they seriously cannot even get to their car (or get out of the neighborhood, etc.) are they okay on food? Missing a lot of work?

This is my thought!

I really don't think I could survive. I cannot even imagine what you northerners are dealing with, those pictures are scary to me!

I talked to my brother in Portland, Maine last night and he is so over the fucking snow.

I don't think I could deal, seriously. I'm so glad I don't live around Boston anymore!

As for where the snow is going- they are talking about dumping it into waterways. This makes me sad for the water-life. They have "dumping stations," but those are filled to capacity.

I have a friend that takes the train into Boston for work. She went from a 40 minute door to door commute to a 2 hour commute- one way.
My sister hasn't even bothered to shovel out her car yet. Every time her neighbor/ boyfriend shoveled out their car, the plow truck would come through and block them in again. Then, it would snow again and wash, rinse, repeat.

Here's a video of people jumping out of windows, off of rooftops, and railings into the snow. Stupid...but funny.
