  1. I've been on the other side of these a lot. It's shit. Just know that it's my son's 9th birthday tomorrow, and they just cancelled school. As crestfallen as you are, he will remember this more intensely than you will. He is overjoyed. And then he will go on to be a weenie, and he will have the privilege of experiencing the same disappointment and joy. It's how intergenerational trauma works!
  2. I'm trying to think, but I think this is the best storm of my life. Ive had more upstate, but not like this. Nowhere near as dramatic or as much moisture.
  3. Comfortably passed 2ft but I've got no clue on a number. Between my car and the fence is a 5 ft drift. It is the windiest it's been now.
  4. Yes, it's been snowing more or less as it is now for 5 hrs. I can't get out my back door. The only thing that hasnt really shown up here is the wind. There is lots of straight line wind and it's powerful but not the house shaking gusts you sometimes get. The power is on, which I find remarkable. I'm not complaining by the way, my white pine shed a couple limbs, but I'm fine with it not coming down.
  5. I have been out a few times to attempt to check and it's utterly pointless. There are bare patches and 5 foot drifts. My little back garden looks like approaching 2 feet but it's a guess. The snow is very very heavy and caked.
  6. Hrm. I saw multiple cars barely distinguishable from the 6 foot drifts that enveloped them. It's a give and take.
  7. You could replace box radar with a picture of a banana. This is nuts.
  8. My neighbors have a sick 9 or 10 foot drift going on. It can't go any higher, it's blowing over the top of the fence.
  9. You've been onto this since yesterday. Initializing wrong?
  10. There's no better feeling to the wind wake up than going to the window to see how things look, and you cannot see out the window because it is caked in snow.
  11. Absolutely. Swfe? There's no drama. No narrative. No menace. Nor'easters are the pinnacle.
  12. I can't remember seeing the entirety of ri under three sorts of radar returns in the winter.
  13. It looks like the western two third of the island though. Nassau county West so far looking out of the best stuff?
  14. Btw. Re: lbsw. Sometimes a storm is more like highly precise bukkake and not your run of the mill adventure in the back of a 91 Toyota previa.
  15. These are the end times! The snow is falling, the snow is falling. Chug your milk. Throw your bread into the wind completely disrobed!
  16. 10" is my best guess from several samples. The drifting is impressive given how wet the snow was. It's still pretty moist. I'm not sure what happened over night but I went to bed with 4. The wind is so steady, dependable, straight line. It's not as intense as it sounds though, overhead it's roaring, down here, gusts to 40, window rattlers not house shakers. Though I was unwilling to go near trees.
  17. Woke up to exactly what was forecast. Blizzard conditions. White out. My observation is I can't see shit captain. Absolutely as intense as it gets.
  18. I think that transfer has begun. The band coming over Nantucket is more robust and continuous than what has been before. The band over jersey and Delaware is significantly weaker than hours ago.
