NWS Will be issuing Blizzard Watches and Warning shortly. Accuweather has upped snowfall potential for Southern New England areas to 12-24", with possible 60 mph gusts, and thunder and lightning.

Day after tomarrow?? Maybe.........

Will see , but it looks good.

I don't know about others,but I'm bringing the snowblower up near the house and covering it with a tarp. The shed is about 100 feet from the back door,and I don't relish the idea of trudging through deep snow and shoveling to clear the doors. Plus, if It's hard starting, I only have to use the 20 foot cord for the electric start. 

im not to far from you. im in needham. i plan on waiting for the storm to stop then go out and tackle the beast. no reason to keep going in and out. the only thing i might go for a couple of times will be where the snowplows build up in front of the driveway.

Kneebiter-Hi neighbor,lol!

         That seems right. I'll more'n likely wait 'til it's over,or try to get to the OED if it looks like it's getting too high. Thanks.

Now saying  18-24" with Thundersnow tonight. Could be biggest storm in at least 10 years. Maybe rival the Great 78.

Time will tell.

No, unfortunately the storm shifted to the north.  They predicted 4-8 for us, we got 2.  High winds coming in later to create a white out, 30-40 mph.

I was supposed to take my youngest toboganing north to Cleveland, but that was cancelled due to the weather there.  They are suppossed to get upto 12 in along with the high winds and cold temps tomorrow.  Not good for a 5 year old (let alone a 45 year old)

MountainMan, what is thundersnow?  Here is the forecast for here:

The center of the clipper is moving quickly into northern Pennsylvania, providing plenty of moisture across the entire state. We are now seeing more snow showers developing in the Chesapeake Bay area. This is a sign of a strengthening coastal storm that will develop this afternoon. This will set up an easterly fetch, pushing more moisture onto the east coast. Eastern Pennsylvania, the Delmarva Peninsula, and New Jersey are still set to receive substantial snowfall this afternoon. Central Pennsylvania could see 8-14" by tomorrow morning. In far western PA accumulations will be lower, ranging from 5-9" in the Pittsburgh area. Winds will increase from the north overnight to set the stage for a blustery Sunday. Winds sustained at 20-30 mph with gusts in the 40's will cause blowing snow and drifting, not to mention sub-zero wind chills.

I have been out with the "Orange Crunch" just a little to try it out.  It's just the best machine for me.  I love it. 

For me whenever I get the chance I prefer for the storm to end before I go out and clean it all up.  Then when I am done I am totally done.....

Okay Chris.  I was just wondering if the Toro would be able to handle it all. Guess I'll find out.
