North east. Round two.

Hear we go again another big storm. ARE YOU READY.     I am using two snow blowers.The 1056 RAT with a plow. And the generator is standing by. Should be a good one.

[ebinmaine 77,272]

We stand ready for snow year-round. Generator full. Extra fuel. Extra food. Good to go.

[Retired Wrencher 6,438]

Morning Eric. How much are you going to get up there? Are you gonna get the big 15 inches or more?

[ebinmaine 77,272]

No sir. We're on the northern outskirts of this one. 

My house should see 6" plus. More at the seacoast. 

[grinchsr 657]

Getting hammered down here in SW CT the snow is going side ways at about 50 mph

We have about 3" and it is still snowing lightly.

Be careful shoveling!

[oldlineman 1,646]

Praying for safety for all affected! We here in western highlands of Pa are doing well about 2" or 3" so far, they were calling for 5" to 8" so we may have dodged this one, got 17" in the last one, stay safe, and don't overdo the snow removal, some of us aren't as young as we once were.

Here in S. Cow Hampshire we've got about 4" more on the ground, but still coming down, mostly sideways. Gonna go all day.

Both tractors full, genny full and all gas cans full as well as the fridge and bar 

I'm glad I'm retired. My old boss was so cheap, the company would be open today!

My sister in Bridgewater Massachusetts is without power, high winds and lots of snow. She said she can't see out of any of her windows. I have about 6 inches in the Berkshires of Massachusetts with little wind and light snow. Hopefully we don't get much more in the Berkshires we have enough for past storms.
