^^Yo WTF, is that freaking ice?

Yeah ice and slush. Saw it in Twitter, not my pic.

 

[Kaako]

Omg, how does one even begin to deal with something like that!?

 

[Monster Zero]

Man, this looks like my settlement in Fallout with all those wires

[WedgeX]

Four blocks from the Capitol building pre-storm.

6pm yesterday.

9am today.

The plows are going by infrequently. No cars at all and people are out and about on the streets. My car is under a three foot show drift. Its great. Spent a good hour and a half shoveling today...which is something, living in the basement of a rowhouse and all.

Snow is getting rediculous in g-burg MD http://imgur.com/Q6aEWYf I don't even want to go out on the patio to get a better picture

 

[Megawarrior]

Same here my driveway is half a mile long and we've gone over 2 feet at this point. Although I pulled my car to the front of the property.

I think ours is about the same length. The car won't go halfway without getting stuck.

 

[sphagnum]

Had to shovel my car out, then my windshield wiper broke while I was trying to leave. Then had to shovel my girlfriend's car out and discovered once I got out of the apartment complex that the road had not been plowed. I got stuck in the snow twice trying to get to work. I'm amazed I got to work only 4 minutes late.

 

[SeanR1221]

Just shoveled for 2 hours. Now I'm eating protein pancakes.

Not that this advice comes to you in time to be useful, but folks around here put their wipers up before a storm to avoid them getting frozen. Something to think about in the future.

Not TOO bad in Waterford Twp, NJ, but not great either.

I was wrong...this shit is sticky as hell. Also, I heard some popping..a very large tree is on a path to come down directly over my driveway if the wind keeps up.

Nice, I grew up in Gaithersburg. Villa ridge condos.


So far in Harlem we just have a bit of dry snow blowing all over the place. Pretty wimpy so far.

 

[e_i]

West Belmar, NJ:

More than a foot. The winds are really bad.

Shit

I should have done this.

 

[Demoskinos]

Well, at least someone is happy with all this snow.

Do people not run their car before leaving? I never put my wipers up, but I also run my car for a good 10 minutes with the defroster on to make sure shit isn't frozen.

 

[Eidan]

How bad is it really out there. I've been staring at everything from the fairly limited view of my patio and it seems like snowfall has been light all morning.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Sorry to everyone snowed in but this pretty much makes it all worthwhile:

I did! Nature just really didn't want me to come into work today, and I fought back.

Also did that.

Where are you?

Here in coastal NJ we probably have 10-12 inches already, with probably 14-20 in areas with drift. The wind is pretty intense at times too.

Out near g-burg MD myself... Theres a plow stuck in my parking lot. I went out to help and snow came up to my calves (I'm 6'1"). Sad part is... It's still snowing.

 

[Armaros]

I just shoveled 2 feet of snow off of my driveway.

#Dead

And as usual, Maryland has shutdown

Yeah it looks like snow drifts are taking snow up to the bottom of the stop sign in my parking lot. It already looks like what we got in 2010. Hard to imagine it's going to snow for another 12 hours

 

[maquiladora]

Don't overdo the shoveling guys. Heavy wet snow shoveling causes heart attacks every time one of these storms comes around.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Well this is terrifying and amazing. Pics of the storm from a NASA astronaut

[modernlifeisANDY]

Here on Cape Cod the snow isn't due for another couple of hours. So I'm going out for a run. The high wind warning doesn't start for about half an hour. It'll be fine.

Yeah Plymouth here. It's windy but wife and I are gonna get our runs in before the snow hits in an hour and a half or so.

 

[Badgerst3]

And it's still coming down.

That's an awesome pic. Where are you?

 

[gcubed]

Any snow totals so far? I saw Philly was at a foot a few hours ago, Baltimore a disaster?

 

[Chucker]

I don't have county sewer at my house, but there is a pvc inspection pipe in my yard near the drainfield of my septic. The county has like 6 trucks up and down my street and they're all looking into it.

I'm assuming if something were up they'd come knock on my door, but they aren't... soooooo.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

The Jersey Shore is getting wrecked, lots of rescues and evacuations. The first high tide in Delaware set a new record, beat the old one set by Sandy.

Coming down hard here in Wayne PA, probably 15 inches in my backyard, hard to tell with all of the drifting

 

[Incendiary]

I had to snow shovel the walkway to my apartment.

I'm on the third floor.

Welcome to blizzard hell!

 

[Amir0x]

maaan lots of snow outside

 

[Alebrije]

And it's still coming down.

Dog, are we really The last of us?

Cape May and barrier islands are probably going to get rocked pretty good from the coastal flooding.

Has this been posted yet? it's kinda hilarious

[WedgeX]

Oh. One thing I saw last night which was crazy was guys from either the Architect of the Capitol or the contractors doing the Capitol Building renovations clearing off snow from the scaffolding around the Capitol Dome. No thanks.

Greetings from Long Island!

Just now(11AM)

 

[Uno Venova]

when they call and tell you don't come in 🙌🏾

Don't overdo the shoveling guys. Heavy wet snow shoveling causes heart attacks every time one of these storms comes around.

I mean, yeah, but people on NeoGAF are generally young, and you don't often see ~30 year olds dying of heart attacks regardless of snow.

 

[Dicer]

Not everyone and you don't need to be an old fart to have one...

So again, take it easy folks.

 

[Alric]

Snowing good here in Lake Hopatcong, NJ. Still trying to find my dog.

 

[TyrantII]

With enough dew and dorritos, you can accomplish anything.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Knoxville got squat. Already melting and the clouds are clearing. Definitely a bit of a letdown compared to Wednesday's. My mom sent me a pic of the house in the tri cities and they got a decent amount.

 

[LJ11]

These snowdrifts are ridiculous. Nasty storm

 

[Socreges]

What's the accumulation like so far in DC? Near Dulles?

 

[WedgeX]

What's the accumulation like so far in DC? Near Dulles?

No idea about out near Dulles, but there's probably at least 18 inches on Capitol Hill with lots of much higher snow drifts.

Campus is already closed for Monday! But that means I've already gotta adjust my syllabus.
