Right now as I post this Fox news is reporting that snow rate will fall at 4 inches per hour and the storm became a "Bomb Cyclone over night" with blizzard conditions" The meteorologist says "power may be out for days in some places". Quoting the meteorologist " this is a historic storm".

I got 12.5 inches so far. It should stop late afternoon. East of me it’s coming down at a rate about 3 inches an hour. They officially declared it a blizzard. I laugh at these news programs that drive around and then tell you to stay off the roads. Their van got stuck.

Missed us almost completely, although MD's eastern shore is getting at least a foot.

I walked the dog in the early stages of the storm and it felt like the wind was going to rip my face off. Now it looks like white-out conditions through the window.

My town got 19.1 inches. Nobody came to shovel. It’s going to be in the single digits tomorrow. Time to invest in a snow blower or get back into shape. Earlier I lost land line and internet service but it turned out I just needed to reboot the modem.

The weather people love to hype any big storm as "a historic storm". Only thing is, I saw on Weather Network that there were about ten storms of this magnitude in the last 30 years or so. Even the power companies like to get in on the drama and warn that power may be out for days or even weeks. I will pray for all involved (especially vulnerable seniors--hopefully those younger folk in the area will check on them). But New Englanders are a hardy stock and are usually prepared for this sort of thing. Sounds like a fairly typical "Nor'Easter" that New Englanders are always touting.

Yeah I know about how the media likes to exaggerate things. I remember the year 2016 was the year of the most used word that year being "unprecedented". Throughout 2016 being such a controversial election year the word unprecedented was used more than any other word. And with weather the meteorologists like to use alot of adjectives because when there is a storm the adjectives keep people glued to the news weather. But from the pictures they showed there are some areas that got slammed pretty bad. One thing some people don't know is if you have lived where it's a annual thing to have storms to the residents it's nothing new. But to us on the west coast it sounds and looks awful. I am in Southern California and I can't imagine ever shoveling snow to get out of my driveway but if you live in Boston Massachusetts it's a seasonal thing one gets used to.

I'm in central MA and we are getting lots of snow but the wind is more concerning than anything. Yet even still this snow storm is nothing compared to what I've seen when living in upstate NY.

We'll survive.

True, that. Hard for me to get excited about a two-foot snowfall since I live in an area that routinely gets three feet of snow a couple of times per winter. But, we don't typically get wind in the winter so a blizzard wouldn't be common here. The prairie Provinces get these howling blizzards every winter--no thanks. That's why I don't live there.
