Uh-oh, it's time to get the bread and milk. The advisory and warning areas are spreading...

Spoke to a friend in NC; they are playing bumper cars down there.

Well we definitely got more than the 2"-4" that they forecast. Looks like about 6" here. I don't plan to use the snowthrower, it should all melt when the temperatures get up around 50 this weekend.

Just measured exactly 6" in the yard and also the roof of the car. But it's the lightest, dryest snow I've seen for a long time. A broom was more effective than a shovel. This is going to settle into almost nothing very quickly. Some slippery spots underneath though where the old snow melted and froze.

I'm not digging the fact that it's going to be a very heavy snow. The stuff we've been having has been easy shoveling and not a weight concern on the roof. This storm will be much different.

Just warmed up Big Bertha, sat idle for 2 years since I bought her. Perhaps I'll get a chance to use her :eek: No more digging for me, I'm too freakin old.

I had mine all prepped for the 1/22 storm, didn't need it though. Haven't used it in like 3 years. It just isn't worth the effort of plowing almost 1000' of driveway unless my car won't go through it. :)

Jessica tried her hand at starting mine today and she was able to do it. It is notoriously hard to start. If she is off from work tomorrow she can do it.

We started out with heavy rain early this AM, then turned to heavy snow which accumulated about an inch before turning to sleet. Its been sleeting/snowing on and off since then, a nice slop, snowing right now. Roads are not good, nice and slippery. I heard a bit inland is a body shop heaven.

This is from one of the Accuweather forecast terrorists.

I posted two maps below for the next set of storms. The snow map is for the Wednesday storm and the potential map for the Sunday storm. Both storms can produce a lot of snow. The upside of the storms are such. The Tuesday to Wednesday storm can produce up to 18 inches of snow. The storm Sunday into Monday can produce 24 inches of snow. It's also possible that the snow on the ground in some areas from West Virginia to New Jersey could be 12-30 inches by the time both storms are done, which also includes today's storms. This is an amazing weather pattern that will produce big storms.

Just back in from shoveling the cement before it sets up overnight. I had bought what appeared to be some amazing stuff a couple of months back and treated my work gloves with it. It is as amazing as the ads say. The stuff outside is sopping wet, with this stuff applied the gloves stayed completely dry, fun to watch the flakes land, melt and roll off, just like the stuff in the video. :D Boots and shovels next.
