northeast us under blizzard warnings

We're extremely lucky that it's so darn cold for this storm, as it's keeping the snow pretty light and fluffy. If it was warmer, just imagine how many power lines would be coming down because of the heavy wet snow... this crap is just blowing all over and will settle down in a day or say when these heavy winds stop. This kind of wind might be normal for places like Montana, but level is pretty rare for the northeast.

FYI, here are some links to the highway camera views inMaine:

If you’re out in this stuff, especially pulling an emptyvan, beware the heavy winds!

Be safe out there!

 

Looks like business as usual over in NJ. Media hype, this was hardly a state of emergency kind of storm.

 

truth be told, they are supposed to err on the side of caution

because if they had said it was going to be a mild storm and we got 36inches and people were stranded for days, we would be rather upset at them
