I just heard the guy from The Weather Channel says that after 8:00 p.m. tomorrow and through the night there could be gusts on the coast of up to 100 mph!!! He didn't seem to specify where but he was reporting from Boston so I guess it was included in the area. Imagine being out in that ba a wind let alone biting cold and snow being blown by wind that fast!!! I hope those near the coast will be at the shelters and inland with family or friends and things. Sounds awful.

Oh, no kidding. I will be praying hard that that doesn't happen. Losing power is the end of safety, to me! I really get scared when the power goes out and you've no idea how long it could be out.

I was looking at the Westminster goings on and hoopla online and wondering how badly this storm was going to affect everything and I remembered your post about going to that pet fashion event and so forth. Please stay safe on the road and those sidewalks!

That's why we have generators!

sbgooljar · 02-07-2013, 07:29 PM

Not sure if I should be worried or not!!!! This storm is being compared to the one of 1978 which dumped around 24" of snow and with the wind drifts many areas had over 30". Pictures show cars buried on highways, huge waves crashing on shore, and total devastation.

Stay safe everyone and get out your yardsticks to measure this snowfall!

NrfnKiva · 02-07-2013, 07:33 PM

Have plenty of wood for our wood stove, generator is all set, new batteries in flashlights, plenty of food & water. One problem though is my mom who lives about 1 hr away has none of that and lives all alone. If we loose power she is in real danger. So franticly trying to get her up to our place ASAP.

The dogs reaction to this storm should be interesting....especially if we loose power. They've never experienced that before. Also all the snow too....they've only experienced a few inches worth.

I hope not. They are saying Long Island is going to get hit pretty hard. By us we r just getting snow

celstu1 · 02-08-2013, 06:36 AM

Starting snowing at 3am here, nothing major yet though... lots of people are working from home today though, so traffic was light. It should start ramping up around 10am they said and get progressively worse. I am planning to stay at work until 12 or 1, then head out and work from home the rest of the day also. We are gearing up here for a LONG night and then an even longer day tomorrow with snow blowing, shoveling and clean up! YUCK!

Verbena · 02-08-2013, 07:30 AM

When I got up at about 5:30 it was snowing here, still is. DBF went to work in New Jersey. I hope he can get out early. Everyone please be safe.
