This is a joke, yes? Everything's has the East end / central Suffolk as hardest hit.
Probably whatever depth keeps the wheels from finding the pavement. 18-24".
Been around for a while. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomb_%28meteorology%29thats it.BOMBOGENESIS!!!!!!!Was is bombogenesis? I wanted to punch the guy who said this.
My mom sent me a text with that word in it and I just assumed it was autocorrected.thats it.BOMBOGENESIS!!!!!!!Was is bombogenesis? I wanted to punch the guy who said this.
I had an old Jeep when I lived in VA. Lifted and 32" tires. It couldn't get out of my garage during the big President's Day storm in the early 2000's...That was probably around 2-3 feet...maybe a bit more. The reason was that once you got momentum, the snow just packed under the body until it raised the wheels up off the ground. It'd go a few yards, then pack enough, and get stuck.

He probably turned his snowblower on it's side trying to clean it and now has oil in the carb and is trying to fix it.
I'm incrementally more worried about the wind. You don't typically get power outages because of snow. You do because of wind.
No, it's because they are the media and weather affects everyone.
Don't mess with my Rover, brah.
tires....tall skinny snow tires are what is needed for a lot of snow.. Most RR have street tires with out a snow tread. My discovery with 35's and lifrt could easily handle 48". My old range rover with street tires....I would be surprised if i t didn't get stuck..
Only blonde weather personality that I know of is like the fourth stringer at KDKA...and she wasn't on this morning.
Yeah the NAM12 tends to go just a little bonkers at time. Disregard, por favor.
Baker just issued an executive order for the roads tomorrow. No mbta and post office is closed in Greater Boston
HISTORICAL SNOWSTORM!!!!!!!!! WE'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.... GET TO THE STORE AND STOCKPILE EGGS, MILK, AND TOAST!@!!#@!!@#$%^&^%$#@#$
My town is among those slated for the most snowfall in all of this. No way we get through this without losing power. I'm actually a little worried this becomes really untenable with all of our trees and power lines. The sheer weight of the snow and the wind could leave us without power for three-five days, like it did in October '11. Except that was October. This could get really cold.
Are you MA or RI?
Airport is in the 6-12 rangeI really need Philly help here.
My lady is still "stuck" in Tampa and trying to figure out when to book flight home. Right now, it's booked for 7:30 tonight, getting in at 11.
Note: her car is at the airport, it doesn't move well in the snow. Even if the flight makes it, she would be stuck at the airport until morning if the roads are cleared.
I suggested re-booking for noon tomorrow, arriving around 3/3:30 and figure we'll have the best of it behind us by then?
Updated snow totals for the area? I swear Sheik is doing this to me on purpose for my Sheena Parveen comment last week
Not sure why this is funny to you. Officially a State of Emergency here in Rhody with a travel ban in effect at midnight. The state police will arrest anyone who is on the road. Fun.
Mass now too - 12AMConnecticut just banned travel in the entire state after 9pm tonight.
State of Emergency on the East End here. LIRR likely to close around 11, LIE could close whenever. Coming down hard now already.
Obviously funny to him because it won't be that bad on HIS block. Because forecasters should know what the weather will do down to about a 100' radius.
Right at the notch in CT. Last night we were supposed to get 30", but according to Gawker the brunt has now moved East into MA and RI a bit and gets into the 30" range there. We're at 26.2", which is still a disaster in our heavily wooded area. Last time a storm had this weight we had huge trees collapsing around our house and also downing power lines. Yikes.
The news in NYC has been saying nothing but "Historical Storm, we've never seen anything like this, yada yada yada"....
Yeah it is no joke when you combine that much snow with powerful winds - power outages coupled with hazardous travel - not good at all. T&P to the east coasters, not going to be pretty.
