I could be wrong, but didn't Boston have an issue with not being able to dump the snow into the harbor last year? Something about it being considered not environmentally friendly? That's why they had that huge pile that took until August to melt.

If it were just dumping snow, it would fine. It is all the oil, trash, shopping carts and assorted random crap that gets dumped in as well that is the issue. The Boston area hasn't used the charles or harbor in years for snow removal. It has helped the pollution issues in both.

I'm not saying they should or shouldn't. I'm just saying they didn't. I'm kind of surprised that other places would still do so at this point.

 
Euro with the absolute DC/Baltimore crush job. 2" of QPF for everyone should. Should be a solid 20" all around, maybe 2 feet out toward the Blue Ridge.

 
I know NYC and Chicago have snow melters. All major cities should have them. Of course I'm pretty sure Philly doesn't, I would think a city like Boston would with as much snow that they see annually.

A few years ago a mall was piling snow in a far off parking lot (in Metro-Wes)t. The stupid pile was still 3-4 stories tall. In July. I was bummed they didn't do the same last year. That snow was ugly by July. All black, random detritus sticking out all over the place. I am sure last year it would have been even taller.

I'd be surprised that anyone would be allowed to dump plowed snow into a body of water these days.

 
Main thing to take away from the model runs today is the overall consistency. The_Man touched on it earlier that the numbers don't really mean that much. Where ever the heavy banding sets up is going to be the winners.

There is a lot of moisture. And cold. And it's headed our way. Your best bet is if you are in the bulls eye area, expect to see anywhere from 1 to 3 feet of snow.

 
Euro maps are protected, but I'll see what I can find. But as Sheik said, maps don't mean much right now. Just figure for 18-24" of snow in the DC/Balt area.

From around 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. Saturday is gonna be crazy blizzard conditions. Maybe 2" of snow per hour with winds gusting in the 40s.

midday models still holding a Friday evening arrival? Or doesn't it work that way?

 
Live just outside of Boston where we got 80+ inches in just under 3 weeks last year. Widespread problems with roofs collapsing and even more so, leaking. For those getting heavy snow get yourself a roof rake and try your best to clean off your roofs to prevent ice dams. 2ft of snow with constant melting and refreezing can do some damage especially if you get another storm on top of it.

Roads were horrible for weeks - two lanes now one lane, side streets basically one way streets and our subway and commuter rail were paralyzed for about a week during the height of the snow.

Stay safe fellas

Also, be sure your remote access for work is all set as well as the hardest hit areas will take a while to get back up a running.

I watch her most mornings and would give enthusiastic smashing.

Having a baby has done wonderful things for her. I tune in to watch her and Sarah Caldwell most mornings. And am sometimes horrified to find Miri Marshal and Jennifer Franciotti instead. Having a baby has done nothing to enhance Miri.

Highs in the mid to high 40s all week here in Colorado. Should be about 40 degrees for kickoff Sunday!

There are lots of reasons I wish I lived in Colorado. Having temps 10 degrees warmer than where Im at now isnt one of them.

I was going to respond that your input isn't wanted here but I like looking at your avatar so you can say whatever you want, whenever you want.

 
Went ahead and canceled my son's baptism for Sunday due to weather. Had family coming from Jersey, West by-God Virginia, and all over the commonwealth of VA. This means that none of those places will get any snow.

 
I've always loved snow days, but is the first time I'll be trapped in an apartment with my wife and a crabby 11-month old. I might not even sing The Magic Snow Song on Friday.

 
Bernie Rayno just said to "lock in" blizzard conditions for DC, Philly and NYC for Saturday.

ETA: My bad. Not for NYC. Yet, anyway.

Does anyone have advice on maintain a heat pump through something like this?

I just moved into a new house a few months ago. It has a heat pump and I he never had one before. Everything that I've read makes taking care of the unit pretty simple. Make sure the snow is off the top and sides, dig out any snow that may collect underneath it, and dig out around the base a little bit. Is there anything else beyond that that I should be doing during a storm like this? We're in the 12-16 inch range.

I had an issue a few years back of icing on one of the fan blades so when it kicked on it vibrated a lot and sounded like a helicopter was outside my bedroom window. So there's that.
