Snowcrazed71

Uugghh... I had 4 large limbs come down off our Huge Pine tree ... Unfortunately it came down right on top of the carport we have outside ( thankfully my husband and mother-in-law's car are inside the garage )... But mine is smashed... Can't get the metal frame off the car, as well as the snow and Ice. Now we have the winds coming.... This is why I DON'T LIKE ICE STORMS.

Well... Bernie Rayno says he thinks this is a done deal for the Northeast. He thinks New York City and Philadelphia are on the edge but doesn't think it's coming north anymore. He said he was pretty surprised himself. It's just the way everything's been going this year. It's amazing how things are falling in the wrong direction for most storms when it comes to a pure snowstorm. And I'm talking for the tri-state area. I'm glad that Northern New England's getting slammed, and even the Mid-Atlantic has had some good storms. But, time is running out for us this year. It's on to next year soon. And it'll be here sooner than we know it

I sure hope so. Even if it comes back 100 mi, that would make a world of a difference.. The next 24 hours is crucial. If we see no budge in it moving back at all, then it is what it is and it's not coming back. But if we see at least 20/30 mile shifts to the Northwest, that's a good sign and gives us a chance of it. Giving us something more than nothing for the region, at least. The tri-state region

We've had a few instances where something did come back within 2 or 3 days. But That's probably a 20% chance if that of the storm coming back

Now but freezing at 33. But we just had a huge limb come off the pine tree and just grazed the carport we have outside from the house. Glad the temperature went about freezing. Now I let this ice melt please

You are right. I just think that so many of us are hoping so much for something we haven't seen in quite sometime ( And frankly to wipe out this horrible 3-year drought ). So I think that's why there's so many people who are overly passionate, or as you or some other people will call us, weenies LOL. But like you and everyone else in here, we all have other lives besides this. This is just our getaway of what we enjoy. So, sometimes those snow goggles are all we have to give us that hope.

The funny thing is, people give us the weenie signal for being passionate about this. And with passion comes disappointment. I think their way of showing their disappointment is trying to stay more pessimistic to avoid feeling disappointment or projecting on others to take it away from themselves. Anyway, I feel you. I'm so super disappointed. We've just had a bad run for several years. And it probably will last a bit longer. But there will be a point where we see something. And that will take away all the feelings of the misses that we've seen over the last several years.

I'd rather the mega blizzard. 1'-2' .... We're so overdue

The METs are not letting This Storm go however..... So it's not a dead deal. ......... Encouraging.....

So... You thinking it will miss too?

Are you that gullible man.... I'm just playing along with the highs and lows

Time to close this thread.

Funny, I said earlier that I'd rather see GFS in Euro on the same page as opposed to the the ukie and the icon on the same page. And I'm talking about the positive outcome side of things

And after this threat, I'm really not seeing much in the pipeline. Say goodbye to the season

It's not over yet. Still have 4 days

Man, you really I've been burnt. You are so cynical LOL. There's a whole lot of Truth that the storm could go out to sea, but there's an equal amount of Truth that it can hit us. Some of you guys are saying it's going to be a Miss for sure. Talking about other people having snow goggles on, no such thing. There is an equal chance that we get hit by a big storm. Some people choose to go on the pessimistic side, and maybe that's a defense mechanism, while others are being optimistic and pulling for this to be a hit. I'm I'm in the waiting and see mode. I would need to see a bit more consistency with the two largest weather models before. Really feeling confident of a hit. But I'm optimistic

It's a dead deal then. I don't have the energy to have any hope anymore this season. If something happens... It happens. And stop the comments before they start, I'm not melting LOL. I just could care less at this point.

That's my hope too. I'm north of Meriden right on the Farmington line. I'm guessing we'll stay colder as well.

Let's just wait till it starts before we start making final calls of what is going to be or how it's going to turn out. The general theme of what's going to happen is we're going to get snow, probably 2 to 4 in before it changes over to sleet, then to ice and rain. Coastline will definitely be rain, and that line may come all the way up to the middle part of the state. State it's more the hills that will definitely stay freezing rain and maybe as you get into sections of Hartford county Tolland and Windham county as well. It was always going to be a slopstorm in Connecticut

Ha.... You are all in. You better salt your entire house to keep it from becoming an igloo.

I'd venture to guess that you're tossing the Nam? Lol

Lol .. kind of asks for it himself. Tends to really overdo the winds being destructive and these possible ice storms being crippling. Fortunately, they rarely ever do any of that ( And quite frankly, I don't want any kind of destructive ice storm. He can have it in his town on his block ).

Lolol... But some of you really bust balls a little too much. It's like someone jumping on you guys for being so pessimistic. You don't like that either. I know we bust balls in general and have fun with it, but sometimes it's a little overdone. You don't have to point someone out in particular to get your point across.

Still's coming down lately, our driveway has a light coating on it as well as the decks

Damn man...lol. It's not that bad. There are a lot more high risk sports that I'd be worried about over a chair lift accident ( although when I was a teenager, I did have a fight with a chairlift and fell off the side trying to get on, but thankfully I was okay.. just a few laughs and bruises )
