NYC/NJ Blizzard - Ready everyone?

[paulnj]

I just got home.... that snow was a blast to drive through in a tiny ford escort ;)

judging by the areas not drifted I would say we got 8-10 by saturday at 9:30 PM and 6+ since then(still falling) . NO kidding I have 14+inches of snow here w/ 24-30+ inch drifts. The roads have an average of 6 inches of snow on them W/ 12+ drifts for the last mile before my road. WIPERS ON .... PLOW WITH THE HOOD ;)

I hope you post some pics! I'm going out (Paterson) this afternoon with my Rebel and new carry-around small 2nd camera Panasonic FZ3. Except I don't have a card reader for the Panasonic. Forgot that small item!

I'm glad you're safe!

Liz..... stay warm , because we need you to be healthy again

HMMM.. I took a few image while driving with MY POCKET CAMERA (fuji 340) and I too have no card reader. I will try to remember how I dumped it last time from the camera and see if any are post worthy . Quite boring I would think , as they are just white lanes(road) through the snow

just a shot from an intersection that WAS cleared recently. full size you can see the truck was driving through 4 or so inches of snow. This is RT 206(state road) 4 miles south of Somerville ;)

They plowed my parking lot around 9pm last night and again at 1AM so Michelle said. The second wave started around midnight, but got VERY heavy some time after 3am. I needed to pull in and out of the parking spot 3 times in order to complately plow my way in ;)

Image name sums it up "little car that could"

Mind you we own a 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500 extra cab 4x4 and a Ford ranger 4x4, but I took the 95 escort with 140k on it ;) It is unstoppable! I hit a deer at 40 MPH with it a few months ago.... got a new headlight and blinker, left the small dent in the lip of the hood and pulled the fender dent

BTW I just desaturated these images, resized and "SHARPEN" in PS

Nice shots everyone. As I suspected, I couldn't get out of my door this morning, so forgive the poor quality. This is shot through a window. My car is somewhere in that pile of snow to the right of my husbands plow truck.

I saw something sticking out, so I guess your car is still there

They just finished plowing our driveway. Actually it doesn't look like we had more than about 10 inches. I'm going out for a walk this afternoon with my camera. Hopefully I'll have some pics to post.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hiya Liz...

I am not sure what the Boston area total snowfall is. I think somewhere around 24". Some drifts however are 5'. The storm is just about over and hubby is now out plowing the yard. Eventually my car will get unburied. Hubby's Explorer is safely put away in our garage. Sure!!! My poor car. LOL

What I wouldn't give to be there now! It's so good to see you around Penny. I hope all is okay, and you have my wishes and prayers for a healthy & happy 2005.

Love.....
Liz

WOW!!!

You folks are really getting hit with that white stuff! These shots are amazing.

I'm embarrassed to tell you what our weather is like here in Southern California.

All of you take care -- try to keep warm and well.

Best to You,
Penny
