93 South wasn't that bad going from Tewksbury to Boston.

Won't be a bust, but not going to be a monster here. It was never really supposed to kick in until later tonight with the real stuff starting after midnight.

I went out to get some thai food and filled up my gas can just incase (I do my driveway and the elderly lady across the street). I think I'll make 4 passes tomorrow at both my driveway and her's. I've got an obsession with having the driveways be as little snow as possible while the others are piled high. Have a dick neighbor kitty corner to my house and I take a small sense of pride doing my driveway, doing my neighbor's, clearing out the old lady next to her, and then watching him suffer.
My work cancelled for tomorrow which is only the 2nd time in our 30 year history. Not that I'd be coming in what with the travel ban in Massachusetts, but this prevents me from having to work from home too and keep up that farce.
Girlfriend just made it safely from MArlborough -> Worcester so that's good. We're up on the north side in the hills, so we tend to get more snow than down town. But when it's cold all over the city today.. No hope for rain.

I dunno. Didn't they say 3 inches today? *looks out window* Yeah, that didn't happen.
Port Jeff getting some good, frequent gusts. As long as the power doesn't go out I'm cool. But worried about that :/
Basically keeping my phone plugged in until Wednesday ha

Totally offtopic but since there seems to be a lot of people from Philly here, I just moved out here...anything cool to do? Only thing I've done is gone to Tony Lukes for a cheesesteak lol.

Why doesn't it snow on Christmas :/
Never expected a monster, haha. Used to live in Boston, so anything that happens is gonna seem miniscule. Here's to hoping tomorrow's night class is canceled.
A dusting at most. Ah, whatever.
You got any friends out here? If so: bars, all day. This city has really, really fun bars. When it's nicer out, there's the zoo that's really close. There's always live shows down near Chinatown. I've been here for a very short time as well (5 years). Maybe the born and raised people can help you out more.

Considering how long the snow fell? It's not super unlikely that we had an inch (I remember them saying 1-2 inches over night), it's just that none of it stuck because it wasn't cold enough. When I left work it was in the high 20s, so it's definitely cold enough now. We'll see what happens at around midnight.

Nope.
Was at North Station when three trains to Rockport got canceled. A bridge was out in Beverly, so they had to do some emergency re-routing.
I was able to catch a train home to Salem, but anyone heading further north needed to get off there and take a bus. Here's a pic from North Station ~5 pm. There were hundreds of people waiting.

Easy. The totals from the clipper that was with us for most of the day already reached the numbers predicted by a few of the "eastward," North American models for this storm.
It seems like the EURO and the short term NAM numbers from today are likely going to be the numbers for this storm.

Central Jersey here. Snow is pouring on and news here is saying 1500 people already lost power in my city.
Charging all my handhelds/phone/laptops and getting textbook hw out of the way just in case though my neighborhood has been pretty good with electricity.

Damn. I'm gonna have to orchestrate a PhillyGAF night out one of these days.
Edit: You could always go to South St. Even by yourself it's pretty fun.

I work at a power utility company. Some of my coworkers probably have to sleep at work. The subway stop at 11pm.
And I have no idea how to get to work tomorrow.

I live just south of the city but yeah the bands are starting to converge on radar. Should start to look like a snow event now.
Just outside DC and hoping that we indeed get some worthwhile accumulation. A work from home day tomorrow would be pretty fantastic.

Don't be sorry. That picture has a 95% chance of being real.
You went to a horrible place to get a cheesesteak. It's all about Pats Cheesesteak and John Roast Pork.

I will have to rectify that. What's are the addresses?
That is obviously photoshopped but ... they've been doing this all the time lately. It's fucking sad.
Every time I see a sign with a MA accent being used I cringe.

I thought it was "today" meaning before midnight. I have just been reading that heavier snow wasn't really expected until maybe 9pm or later.

Nevermind him - go to Jims on South (like 4th and South maybe?).
John Roast Pork:
14 E Snyder Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19148
They usually close at 3 PM.
Pat's Steaks:
1237 East Passyunk Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19147
They have been doing it a lot lately. I forget the drinking and driving one that has been plastered all over RI. It's pretty close to "Be smaht. Don't fackin drink'n drive!"
See I thought I heard 6 p.m. If it's 9 that makes more sense.
i mean there's the art museum, franklin institute, mutter museum. tons of music venues like the TLA, electric factory, the church, the trocadero, some random building's 3rd floor in fishtown, etc. go eat places, tons of good stuff. i like green egg cafe in northern liberties for breakfast, go to the reading terminal market, etc.
pats is just as shit as ginos. just go get a $3 from some food truck and save yourself money
