Well folks, I didn't think it could happen but we are going to get another superstorm here in the north east. I have the great luck to still be in the rain belt as I am writing this but we are prepping for a major standby at the firehouse later today. I don't think I need to tell you to keep off the roads and stay warm, but remember that those of us in emergency management are going to be running out to calls all night. Assure your safety and the safety of your family in these last few hours.

P.S. this is post 10500 for me. Now to never post again so as to preserve this lovely number.

p.p.s. those of you who are stuck in the storm with me, keep us updated on the power grid =P

I'll keep you guys up to date... to an extent.

I think there are only two or three members who aren't going to be hit by this.

Well...it's snowing like crazy in NYC.

Power is still good, and the rain just turned to snow a couple of minutes ago.

You guys are hilarious. New Englanders cower at supercells, whereas we (Centeralers) normally get slammed by these things dozens of times each year. We admire nature and stand out on our porches when the sirens go off.

Sadly we've only gotten 5 or 6 rainstorms the past 2.5 years, but normally ^^^ that's nothing.

We have a whole 2 inches of snow here. Was raining this morning

NY isn't part of New England.

Also it was also raining, which quickly turned to hail, this morning.

Did you get 24 inches of snow like Boston is getting now?

Eh, whatever. And hail? Boo-hoo.

No, but a sixth of my city was underwater a few years back, and a neighboring small town was steamrolled by a tornado two years ago. The majority of the storms you guys get are laughable.

According to CBS, the highest amount of snow was recorded in Shelton, Connecticut with 40 inches.

Check out this cool time-lapse I found. It takes place in New Haven, Connecticut:

havent gotten touched.

lol

Only gotten a couple of inches where I live. The Long Island Expressway is still closed!
