Congrats Long Island and NYC. There is going to be some big totals in western long Island. Wow.

Fidelity is awesome. They never restricted anything.

Radar looks insane over Long Island. CT shoreline is going to get crushed soon.

Endless snows...

@Ginx snewx Our rescue pup is doing great! They said he might be a chiweenie which is supposedly half Dachshund/Chihuahua. A true weenie that loves the snow. Can't wait to get him out in it later!

From wdrag on the NYC forum. Good morning: straight cut and paste on the NOWcast for today only. Left the graphics on the topic thread. Dangerous storm today. Safety first. DPW's and first responders need priority. Recovery begins tomorrow. Difficult for me to understand why no bans on travel today (10A-10P)in NNJ/ne PA. Sleet up to Allentown early today and so when precip lighter this morning, sleet could mix in to LI/NYC but you should be good for several hours of 1/4S+BS and 1"/hour snowfall rates as the temps rise into the 30s...already above freezing parts of e LI. Not ideal lift in the dendrite zone for LI but good enough. No matter, take what you can get there. Tonight I see little way that is snows on LI as max lift has shifted nw of I95 and the deep ice nuclei seeding from CI is gone (dry slot) with the only hope that salt nuclei might be able to keep a little snow going there. Expecting per modeling 15-20 more inches between 6A and 10PM NNJ (especially Sussex/Passiac/Morris counties), ne PA near KMPO and interior se NYS with another half foot 10P tonight-sunrise Wednesday. Drifts to at least 4 feet ridges. Damaging wind and I think big power outages this afternoon-evening from combined wet snow load of 6"snow on trees/wires and gusts probably 55-70 MPH on LI (even NYC though I think the 70MPH is reserved for ISP east.) and 40-55 MPH elsewhere in our forum just n and w of NYC. Coastal flooding: looks like 3-4 successive high tide cycles beginning late this morning-midday with the first minor or moderate, the midnightish tonight high tide moderate to major ; and then followed by two minors tomorrows high tide cycles

SW CT is going to get crushed soon.

Let's not forget about the damaging winds...

SW and Central CT is going to get crushed soon. Look at that radar south of Long Island!

So close...

First teens this winter on the shoreline. Wonder if all my plants that were sprouting and leafing out will make it. Took this picture last weekend as my roses were leafing out.

Fidelity's ap and website is crashing now as everyone is trying to leave RH and join.

My Fidelity ap hasnt blocked anything.

People are reporting on WSB that Robin Hood is blocking purchases of BB, AMC, GME. Can they actually do that?

WSB is still up and running on reddit. I just checked on the reddit ap. Its members are up to 3.8 million now as well.

Are they targeting that one as well? I actually bought a bunch of that stock like 10 years ago.

My sister sent me this last night from Boston. Check out all these dog weenies enjoying the snow.

Its ripping down here on the water in the lovely city of Bridgeport.....

We have a crazy neighbor that feeds a pack from her deck every morning and evening. Everyone in the neighborhood is furious with her but there is nothing that can be done. Its apparently legal in CT to feed wildlife from private property. The DEP actually suggested killing them as there are like zero hunting restrictions on them. I carry my pistol on me and have been waiting for them to cross my path when I am walking my dog. My wife isn't into guns but the DEP said an air horn is very effective so she carrys one.

Watch out for Bobcats. This was in Southbury. At least the guy killed it with a fireplace log... https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Officials-Rabid-bobcat-attacks-2-people-dog-in-15863947.php

If you're someone who's not a fan of cold weather, chances are you won't be taking any trips to the Russian city of Yakutsk anytime soon. The city is currently in the midst of an abnormally long period of harsh subzero cold that is considered unusual even for Siberia's standards. The temperature in portions of the Yakutia region of eastern Russia, where Yakutsk is located, dropped below 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (40 degrees below zero Celsius) during the middle of December and hasn't climbed above that level since -- making this one of the longest stretches of subzero cold in at least 14 years, according to The Associated Press. Outside of a brief "warmup" to around 24 below zero F (31 below zero C) for the first couple of days of January, the city of Yakutsk, located just south of the Arctic Circle, has recorded both high and low temperatures below 30 below zero F (34 below zero C) since Dec. 8, 2020.
