Yeah, I'm going to be dead by the time this is over. Hopefully I can put the savings on rent toward new arms.
The NAM is a horrible long range model but once we get within 12-18 hours it's pretty great. The run the NAM just had was pretty incredible for NYC.
Forecasting a hurricane is easier than a nor'easter I hope this storm goes to show that.
or lots of beer!
How are we defining "incredible" in this case?

emergency lockdown procedures deployed:
My work (MIT) just canceled for tomorrow. I'll be playing a scary amount of Destiny tomorrow and am trying to get a "Snow Day" group together of East Coasters. Hop in the Destiny OT thread tonight and tomorrow, always people doing stuff.
Do you have a cozy blanket at work?
Right on! I'm in that thread but it moves so damn fast, I can't keep up with it.
Oh wait, I think I have you on my FL.

At one point the NAM had NYC seeing 40+
You don't need to tell me to hoard bacon.

I do not look forward to shoveling all this snow and I hope the power doesn't go out.

It's hitting NJ isn't it? I'm getting hype.

Good luck, from the Midwest.
That looks like a downgraded storm. I can tell by the jaggies and the poor LOD.

It was always supposed to hit NJ it was just a matter of which bands would be hitting.

According to this model http://forums.accuweather.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=253491 it might be some BS. The 8-12 they said could just be for tonight.

The most amazing thing I learned from this is that Accuweather has its own forum.

It's honestly pretty fascinating to thumb through. I don't know a thing about meteorology, but it's a pretty cool read.
There's a forum for everything.

Wow!!! You must mean 4 bundles of firewood. I'm in eastern Canada and burn wood all winter as my primary heat source and I go through about 4 cords for the whole season. It's a pretty sizeable amount of wood; comes in a dump truck.
Good to see you're prepared, many people aren't. We're on tap for this shit-storm tomorrow but it's (sadly) not too uncommon for us so I'm pretty much always prepared. Genny with enough gas to last 3 weeks, wood heat, back-up batteries, flash lights, oil lamps/candles bla bla bla.....ugh winter sucks! Anyway, not leaving the house tomorrow.

Worked is closing down for tomorrow so super pumped! Love the snow so hopefully we get atleast 2' in Western Mass. Bust out the hot chocolate and snacks.

For fucks sake the storm is here and the models still disagree massively!
For NJ, Euro says 12-18 inches, and NAM says 24-32 inches
For MA, its the exact opposite
THANKS OBAMA

This is where I am..
Nothing bad.....yet. It's been a steady very light snow most of the day.
I live in Worcester.
(note: this is just one model, probably out of the ordinary. But jesus)
Im from Woostah too, GEtting hit hard Bra
So far we've only had steady, light to moderate snow in Suffolk county. I actually started my service as a trial juror today, and the judge let us leave at 12:45 and told us not to come in tomorrow, lol. I'm already basking in the difference between public and private sector weather leave. I wonder if my cheapass employer is going to try some sort of delayed opening tomorrow instead of just closing the office. I'm not going to go in either way.

As someone from New Jersey... I pronounced it as:
Wor-ches-tar...
I was so clueless on the pronunciation when I was visiting my friend in MA.
