Larry -- NYC and LI are set for a foot or more of the white stuff. It is time to exercise your leverage. Jim
I'm solidly in the red zone. I'm sure I'll be banging the Snovertime clock for several hours on Wednesday night. That last storm two weeks ago I didn't head home until 4am.

It's gonna take some significant grovelling and major cash flow after the last time they failed to live up to their offer. I think I'm gonna let them swing in the coastal wind for awhile before I provide my experienced assistance.
Anything for my N.E. bretheren. They get the friends and family discount, 100%. I think it would take more than this itty bitty storm to get Doug stuck in a snowbank.
I thought that was Doug in the princess costume pushing the cop van that was stuck that I saw on the news.
Four inches in Amityville? Thats a dusting here and at 34F guys would be out in sandals and cargo shorts. Use the second link and enter your zip code for a concise synopsis of your locale.

Two weeks ago, before I left work after plowing for 16 hours, I measured our snowfall total at 23 inches. This one will probably be less than that, but with the wind it'll be drifting. No worries, I keep on going until the job is done. I did, however, get my plow truck stuck in a pile of my own plowed up snow last time, so Jim's not too far off course with his question! My guys pulled me out much quicker than waiting for Larry to make the trip over from the Island, however.
Larry and Doug-- you are needed in Islip. It reports a record 14" of the white stuff. NYC reports maybe 8", also a record for the date.
Well we got 8! Weather channel was Dead Balls on! But nobody else had any idea! It was a record breaking snow for the Burgh! If the air was 6* colder we woulda got 16”
Im in Islip. The local news predicted between 1" and 17 feet. So they were right on. We got about 12". The only casualty was my apple tree. And today it was 50 so this stuff melted like crazy. I was outside snowblowing with a tee shirt on. This was this morning when I went outside-
Channel 25 predicted 3-6 here in Dracut and as high as 8-12 in southern Mass. We received 1" of snow. All the Boston channel were wrong on this one!
