Why are you guys shoveling snow while its still coming down? Thats like trying to dry a wet tennis court while its still raining. Just wait it out, then shovel it when the snow storm ends.

Major East Coast Storm to Hit Mid-Atlantic and New England Tuesday

Well that would make the job that much harder, that's why.
Where in CT? Not really doing much here in New Haven.....
Course I grew up in Syracuse NY ...
500MB Low doesn't close off until about 3AM according to forecasts. Likely a no-show for NJ, except for Hoboken and possibly Newark. 500MB Low needed to close off between 5PM and 10PM tonight to make it historic, for some reason it didn't close off, even though the lows at every other height did. What a weird storm.
NYC likely to see a 1ft+. Nassau is about 18-24, more towards the latter as you head east. Suffolk could see 18-30.
New England gets the jackpot here.
Also, here's a really cool snippet of a livestream I was a part of.

Lot easier to shovel 3-4 inches of snow then 20-30 inches. Even if it's multiple times. Lots of times you can just push it out of the way when it's that small
Shoveling early will make it easier so the bottom layer doesn't get hard. Tonight, Philly is basically getting nothing, so I have nothing to worry about
Please no!
Makes it easier come morning. Even if its only 6-12 inches, it makes cleaniing up a bit easier.

I got an idea for cleaning up snow
Leave a big wooden board on the ground
Let snow collect on top
Turn over the board

Yeah, it got going bring good.
For me, the snow right now is pretty fine and the wind is blowing it around. I'm hoping it drifts away from my driveway and just piles up in the yard.

I'm getting the impression some people in here have never delt with snow before...
Boston-GAF again.

It's damned cold and damned windy, but the actual amount of falling snow has been quite light. We'll have to see how things go.
Good luck lifting that board

What an absolute disaster.
Central Jersey, forecast was 26-32 inches.
We've gotten at most 2 inches.
Blizzard was supposed to start at 8pm. Winds are light.
The worst part is when a big storm hits, nobody will close work or school because theyll remember this bust.
For years.
If theres not 12 inches on the ground when I wake up, no one will take the weathermen seriously for a very long time.
I'm sorry, we're supposed to go to mars and have self driving cars, and yet we predict 32 inches AS THE STORM IS HITTING and are off by 30 inches?????
On the plus side, I dont think they can uncancel work tomorrow, but holy shit.
Throw out the NAM, throw out the Euro, Im pretty sure looking at what geese do works as a better prediction method.

It's the middle of the night. Much easier to cover a storm with pics when you can actually see something. If you want some grainy night shots from long Island I'll hook you up lol.

See the map above? 12 hours ago it was showing 18 additional inches for every single band there.
Thats the map from the national weather service.

Not really, only time I've seen an overwhelming amount of snow was around this time 2 years ago, the last blizzard. School was closed for 4 days after.
Not for you guys up north but for NJ and NYC, they're not getting the numbers initially expected by the NWS.
Long Island and New England still get a nice hit.

Now there will eventually be snow in this snow storm, right?

NYC is a bust but not totally, they'll still probably see over a foot and heavy bands can form and stay for a while so it can be more, but it won't be the historical ground breaking 30+ inches. Anything west of NYC (NJ, Philadelphia) is also a big bust, with them getting very little snow.
Non bust zones;
Parts of Long Island and mainly the North.

Isn't this usually common sense? Lol.
All these meteorologists pretty much orgasm their way to potential danger and when they are done they always lower their expectation by a huge margin.

The storm is having serious trouble moving west, it's one step forward and two steps back, which wasn't predictable and why so many got it wrong.
They've actually been really accurate here in the NY metro for the past couple of years. The Bust of March 5, 2001 lived in infamy for the NWS and TV meteorologists for years. They worked hard to get that trust back, and won it back and then some after Sandy.
Their totals were 75 miles too far west because the Euro and the setup said it would be a big hit for all of NYC metro and not just Long Island and New England.

You mean the grey?
Thats handled by a different forecast center. This one still looks optimistic, although it was created at 12:45am by the NWS

So we're not totally boned, just partially.
