I just watched it on the news and for NYC too. Sorry that your back is hurting, Tony. Stay warm at home if you don't have to get out.

It is now a rain/snow/sleet event here. Totals won't be as high as expected. Tony, good luck.

Thanks Jacki. Up to around 18" and not snowing as heavily. State highway ban to be lifted at 5 PM.

I recently learned that shoveling snow is a cause of many heart attacks. The proper way to shovel snow after 50 is have some one else do it. Cold weather restricts blood vessels and pushing snow causes alot of exertion. This combo of exertion and cold sends alot of people to the er.

Tony, I hear you, I went to clean out my carburetor and lost a screw last month. My blower is on it's side. Bill has the best advice get someone else to do it. Lucky I go the # of the guy who shoveled for me last month

The guy next door came over with his snow blower and did something. Not sure how much got done or what the current total is that we got- last I heard was 23". We don't get up to the freezing point until Friday and more snow coming on the weekend- so it's gonna be very white around here for a while.

Wow!!

Winter here in the Central Washington foothills saw alot of snow, more than usual, imo. Now it is the floods. Most of the roads just west of me are under water and closed. The bridges I use to get to town have high water and will likely close today. This is when my lifted jeep comes in handy.

Is this type of snowstorm usual weather for you north east area peeps ?
