It's a cold start here. -12º. Too cold for me-heading out to put one of my kids on the bus. Brrrrr!

Definitely going to be a cold one in the morning. Keep an ear out to the radio's-could be issues with some school district's who's buses don't have them plugged in for the weekend. I know the district I drove for, mechanics came in as early as 4:30 to get 200+ buses going-some need help big time when it's below 0º. Hope this is the only cold snap like this for the winter-snow I can deal with. Waiting out for a school bus in below 0º weather just stinks. Any calls yet about this up coming storm for this area-or are the models still not in agreement of a big storm?

If this pans out-this could be the biggie of this season. Right now some of these parking lots-Shoprite in Fishkill has HUGE snow mounds -there's nowhere left to put it. But if it's tapping the moisture and dragging it north-that's always a dumping around here-just hope we avoid dry slots.

This is starting to feel like the winter of 95 in someways. This week sure has a lot of interesting days coming up. Just as long as Dutchess County does better plowing than they did that year-it was a nightmare driving a school bus around on ice-snow packed roads. Anyone think we may stay on the colder side once again being in the valley where we see more snow than ice?

Somewhere under this are my kids cars. That was taken around 7:15 this morning. Still coming down pretty good. We are under a state of emergency here-saw my first plow about 5 mins ago and I've been up since 6. Still coming down-not really heavy-but it's steady. I figure we've got close to 10 inches out there.

Another Feb storm-bring it on-as long as we don't lose power again!

I hope we do get it-and LI gets buried. Sadistic-nope. Just want the guy who owns our company to share in the wealth-he wants us all to come in-even in snow emergencies. As long was we don't lose power over it all-it could be a snow of epic proportions. Seriously, I am liking what I am reading, but we are still a few days out. I'd like to see us again in the bullseye and no dry slots come in. Right now we are down at 25º and still cloudy. Happy Snow Watch!

Just a quick question for anyone here. Do we have final snow fall totals for the 2010 year-specifically Dutchess County? I have a bet with one of my kids of how much we had. I figure close to 57. We had the 30 or so in Feb. and then close to 20 here in December. Do I have a chance to win this? LOL

Here's a shot using the flash-way too much snow coming down for that.

Good to be back-glad I found you all again. Here's some shots I just took-one of my kids car is buried-and poor Frosty is bowing all the way down to the ground. But you can see how much we've gotten here so far tonight in lower Southern Dutchess.

Hello everyone-long time no see. Snowing pretty good down here in Southern Dutchess County. I wish I could give you a accurate total-but the winds are playing havoc on the deck this time-best guesstimate is about 6 so far. At least we aren't looking like we had back in Feb with this storm. Snowing pretty heavily still-waiting for some good thundersnow-that would be a nice touch.
