This sucks. I left Chicago to get out of the snow.

In Wilmington, NC currently, and it's been snowing all morning.

 

[SoundsOfScience]

I hope the T shuts down. Literally the only way my shitty place of work will shut down too.

let's see what the 12z model runs bring, those should be arriving shortly.

SUPER IMPORTANT QUICK QUESTION:

Husband got rerouted on highway 59 east to New York, which apparently passes through Canada. He does not have a passport, but does happen to have his birth certificate with him. He's just passing through, to New York. Should he turn around, reroute to Detroit, or will he be alright? It's a two-hour detour to turn around.

I can't find the info by googling.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Been checking NWS on and off, and those models are confirming what I keep reading. The storm is shifting more to the east. I really don't want another 10-12" of snow, but this does feel typical at this point for winters in the North East.

 

[Slayer-33]

18" nyc ftw?

F T W.

 

[Jarmel]

Is there a way to check snowfall per hour? For example, I want to check possible snowfall by Tuesday early morning.

 

[Cyanity]

Well, at least this storm is waiting for PAX to wrap up before ravaging NE

could get 5" from the system here in central IL, but it's going to melt in 2 days, again

I don't think so

As someone completely unfamiliar to NYC, how will this impact travelling around the area? Will the trains still run? How long does it normally take for things to get back to normal after a storm like this? I will be in queens/brooklyn.

 

[RoadDogg]

My local news near Harrisburg just updated to 12-20" with most of it being over night Monday. My snow blower decided to not work the last storm a few weeks ago but it worked again last night when I went to fix it. It better work Tuesday...

Travel will be fucked. The MTA will probably shut down service when the storm gets really bad. Usually takes them half a day to get things up and running (or at least limited service) once the storm is done. Give yourself extra time the following day if you are going to go out.

This city waits for no one, not even mother nature. Things get back to normal fairly quickly.

 

[Nemesis121]

Fucking old man winter trying to kill my back, sheeesh i don't want to shovel snow..

 

[Hellix]

But Spring is so close... fucking why

 

[Bookoo]

Got a flight on Friday so I am hoping they are able to clean this up. Last time we got a lot of snow it took them forever to get the snow out of my street. (VA)

Also my Switch is supposed to be delivered on Wednesday....so that sucks.

My uncle recently passed away while shoveling snow. Had a massive heart attack and died on the spot. No prior symptoms or condition. Not trying to scare you, only reaffirming that shoveling snow can indeed be risky and if you have to do it please be mindful of that and take care.

Yup, definitely take breaks inbetween for sure.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

And I'll be working from home! Cause nope to that shit...

 

[fluffydelusions]

West coast GAF (and former east coast GAF) checking in. Have fun with that lol

 

[Liberty4all]

This sucks, if this delays my flight Tuesday to Toronto im going to be pissed. I really don't want to be stuck in the airport in Calgary.

 

[gcubed]

Please don't be another shitty miss in Philly. I want a real storm this year but this has all the feelings of a 1-3" storm

 

[J-Rzez]

Hazleton, PA here. They're saying we could get 4 to 12+ inches. So anywhere between "not too bad" and "holy shit".

Too bad Tom Clark retired, I miss his 2"-28" snow fall predictions. I live not far from you, 12-18" is predicted.

 

[Fulminator]

based boston expected to get 12" to 18" hallelujah

i need these classes cancelled

 

[Anoregon]

Well at least I can comfortably say there's no way I'm going to work on Tuesday

 

[crazyprac]

WTF why?!?!??!!?!!!?! I just put on summer tires on the car since it was so nice last week (MD).

Uhhh guess I'll take the Prius, hope it's skinny ass tires help me make it to work

Thanks gk. Im basically expecting to be shut in on Tuesday ahah. Im hoping things will be okayish wednesday evening.

 

[FromAtoX]

Damn it, I wasn't expecting this much snow. Oh well, maybe I'll finally get to watch Legion. : )

I don't know, weather people are pretty good when it comes to Nor'Easters

 

[spyder_ur]

Boston here. Tuesday and Wednesday off would be pretty magical. Not letting my hopes get too up, but this seems like the real thing.

It's not that rare to get snow in March. I distinctly remember a few huge March storms and even one during my April vacation week when I was young.

A few years ago when there were a few big storms including the one that demolished DC, there were a few posters here who seemed to have real experience with forecasting and weather. It was interesting to hear their perspective.

MTA only shuts down subway service during flooding or Cuomo being Cuomo... Running the trains actually helps keep the tracks clear and warm. Although a switch heater will occasionally catch fire.

Busses and commuter rail on the other hand...

The last epic storm a few months ago that resulted in under 3" would like to talk to you

 

[Cyanity]

Damn. This winter has been weird as hell. Gonna go lube up the snow blower.

 

[Culex]

It all depends on where you are. CT was updated to 12-18 inches that storm, and I got around 15 inches. So it was correct.

We'll see about this one....10-20 inches seems like a pretty crummy model.

I'm talking about Philly in particular

 

[Brinbe]

Yikes, looks like my parents are gonna get it bad in Allentown. Nothing too bad here in Toronto in comparison.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

This is gonna suck.

 

[Ace Harding]

Everything is different with snow storms when you have kids. School closes, work not closed. I need to either stay home and attempt to get work done with kids in the house or just take the day off as PTO.

But this is my last week at my job so I don't give a fuuuuuuuck - bring it on!!!

 

[Neuromancer]

Baltimore is going to be FUCKED

 

[Media]

Yeah, he had to turn around. Back to Detroit. Is now in Pennsylvania and will reach his destination around 2 AM and has to be at his meeting at 6 AM to suck for him.

And then he has to drive back Tuesday.

30cm in Hamilton and Niagara. I feel like they always over estimate

 

[L4DANathan]

I start a new job on Wednesday. I live in NoVA, so it won't be as bad as a lot of you, but I do have to walk there.

 

[MatthewB92]

Fuck this will suck lol.

 

[blame space]

man it's basically going to miss me

 

[smokeandmirrors]

this would be seriously awesome... if it were two months ago

 

[MIMIC]

Just another day in the GOD DAMNED Northeast/Midwest 😡

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Seems like Tuesday will be a day of no work for me. Plenty of time to play BoTW.

 

[woolley]

I hope my job doesn't think I'm gonna come into work on Tuesday. I'm mot going to risk my car in this shit.

 

[The Argus]

Yay one last work from home snow day!
