charlie8575 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 How much on the ground so far? It's a little hard to say to account for the blowing. According to the news, Framingham, the next town over, has 14" officially. I'd say when it's all done, we're going to get around 20-22".

charlie8575 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The entire City of Quincy is blacked out. Will be until tomorrow. The roads are so bad, they won't even send out the power trucks. Most of our outages are on the South Shore of Boston, which is actually helpful, as it'll make getting things running again a lot faster.

Foxer Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) It's 6am and still dark, but doesn't look too bad here in the mountains .. the boys near the coast are getting it all this time. Was a lot of drifting so hard to tell how much .. think we're lucky to have over a foot. My steep driveway faces the east and looks like the snowplow hit it once already, but I know he hasn't. The wind has been keeping the snow off it I think. But I'm happy .. I get to try my new Mini 4wd!!!! I called my wife when the Governor put a ban out on all roads but her boss wouldn't let anyone leave early! a pretty cheap place ... She made it fine with her Audi Q5.

MachinistMark Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 We are on the cusp of Build a fort and get drunk in it, and get snowstorm drunk and dont leave the house for at least a week. Hoping this isnt another "white juan" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 So, not bad here at all .. less than a foot but my new 4wd Mini DID the steep driveway with ease!!! woot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gluebomb Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I got about 6 or so inches in Glens Falls, NY, that's about an hour north of Albany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Good luck to everyone north & east of me. We only got about 8-10" in Queens. Watching what the east end of Long Island, Conn, & Mass. received is frightening. 3' of snow is an issue with such highly populated areas, especially the power outages. Wish everyone the best in returning to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachinistMark Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Just shoveled mine and both the neighbor's driveways (elderly folks) time for many (more) beer. Still snowing hard too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHSS Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well the sun starting to come out and I got about20 inches of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 We ended up with around 30". Even though it's light snow, removing it is exhausting even with a snow-thrower by virtue of the huge volume. I'll take some pictures. As soon as I can get to CVS to get them developed, I'll share. The travel ban will be lifted at 4:00 P.M., which is good. I'm getting a little cabin fever. Mike- glad to see your wife got home okay. Did you trade your Infiniti for the Countryman? And how do you like it? Mark- LOVE the picture! I saved a copy for myself. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachinistMark Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Glad you liked it charlie. We had nothing at 11 last night, a foot or so by 7 30 Am this morning. Its drifted around some so its hard to tell. 8" at its shallowest 3+ feet at its deepest. Still coming down hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheaton79chris Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Got about 24 here but a lot of drift to account for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well, our neighbor stopped by with his W3500 and cleared the end of the driveway and about 95% of what else was left. It was scary for a moment when he actually got stuck in our driveway! I then moved the car and cleaned that up. Dad's is at the shop, so that was one less to work around. Drive ban will be lifted at 4:00 and I'm going to go out and get some more pictures. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After getting stuck last storm at bottom of driveway, I went and got a 4wd the next day. The Mini Countryman is a bit more SUV looking than I'd like but it's still drives like a Mini so it's fun. 30"! way too much for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 30"! Geez Charlie, the forecast was right! You guys really got smacked... the same storm passed through here a day before it got to you and we only got maybe 3 inches at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachinistMark Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The bank at the end of my driveway is about my height. Maybe taller.... I'm 6'1". Shovelers best friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys really got smacked... the same storm passed through here a day before it got to you and we only got maybe 3 inches at most. Oh yes we did. I ended up going out for a while to visit a handicapped friend who doesn't deal well with isolation for long periods, and the roads weren't too bad. I took some time to drive around town and took some pictures. I'll get the film developed tomorrow and post the photos to Photobucket.

mikemodeler Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Geez, all we got here in Charlotte was 60 degree temps and sunshine! After 40 plus years in Chicago, I am glad to not have to deal with that weather and I don't regret moving South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
