Absolutely! A before and after picture would be priceless. Especially if it's still clear and blue tomorrow!Should I run outside real quickly and take a pic of the clear blue sky?

Walked past the liquor store this AM. An unbelievable number of men streamed out of the store with cases of beer!

I was the only car in the lot at my distributer. Shelves were well stocked.

So much hype , so little impact , even this am as i watched Boston footage , it looks like an average level snow storm up here in Gods Country ��. We North Country woodchucks take this kind of stuff with a grain of salt. MY son who practices in NYC now would be scratching his head , BUT i BET he had to stay overnite in his hospital, because of the dire. Predictions and trvel restrictions nd subwy closures
But hey the weather hypers have to have something to crow about and build ratings ��

We got the non-hype. 13" fresh on the ground at 7:30am, we've got a good 15 hours to go. Fat lady hasn't danced yet.
Warp, while I agree with you whole-heartedly, the difference is that you have room to move and all the city rats live in congested areas with no good place to put the snow, with a population density probably two or three orders of magnitude, overwhelming number of incompetent drivers who will ruin it for everyone. Then don't get me going about the ambulance chasing lawyers ready to sue you for not having cleared that 1" of snow off your steps.
Here we are at 7:30 am. Oh, and by the way, I'm working today. No wussing it off because of snow...
It's still snowing pretty hard.
We'll see where that stick is at tomorrow morning.
The chairlift (from Magic) in the backyard (way back) is the true measuring stick.
Also don't forget, with blowing snow, you get huge drifts in one area and nothing down the road. Warp surely knows that. How's Tug doing anyways?

Good storm here in Essex CT probably 20-22 inches so far still snowing hard.
That door snow imprint makes for a pretty cool pic

I'm with Warp and think these travel bans are a joke. Wasn't the first one ever enacted in Mass done by Governor Patrick during Nemo? The reality is that during most active heavy storms, 90% of people stay off the roads. Most businesses are responsible and shut down on their own because they value employees safety and realize it doesn't make financial sense to open.
We've gotten on fine in the Northeast for decades without travel bans. We've got better and more equipment than ever to deal with the snow.
I just don't see the point of shutting down the biggest city in the country because of a potential storm. They got three inches.
We have a solid close to 2' but it's still coming down. Just did my first plow / shovel. i guess it's supposed to stop in about 2 hours from now? I setup my gopro also did a timelapse out my back deck. I should have setup a ruler as well for it.
