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.

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

Yup, the deeper it is the more fun you and it will have.....

MM, you guys are going to get blasted, especially the Boston area. The storm just blew through Wisconsin. We got 12 inches, with another foot of drifting and 35mph winds. The snow plows didn't come though until 1PM, and by 2pm it was sunny, just like that! I blew through the snow with no problems. I was loosing traction going up hill, so I locked both wheels and it dug right in. This is one of those times that I was glad to have a 2 stage. Let us know how everything is going in the northeast

LOL,

Hey you guys be careful out there too. Remember, if you get tired and or too cold, it doesn't have to be done all at once. Bad things happen when one of those two things goes without any heed taken.

Have fun though!!!!!!!!!!

Still snowing in New Jersey and reported snow fall is about 13 inches. Snow is scheduled to continue until about noon. Maybe another 2 or 3 inches to add.

It may not be Boston weather but I am happy to get this. Looks like the single stage units have the day off.

12 to 15" in my area. Some 24-30" drifts. Nothing spectacular. Not even worth taking pics. Boston or Cape may be getting the Brunt of this. A good storm, but nothing that we dont get every few years.
