felser Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 Let us know what's happening in your area with the storm and how you are making out. Doesn't hit here in Philly until the Sunday early morning hours. Quote
Milestones Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 We are waiting for it here in the Cleveland area. Today has been calm and peaceful, though quite cold. Still going around and doing things, the last being dinner at a German restaurant. Quote
JSngry Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 So far, not as much as feared, although what there has been has been mostly ice, so yuck on that. As long as the power stays on, it should be a nice hunker. Quote
GA Russell Posted January 24 Report Posted January 24 It's been 25 all day; but not windy, so not so bad. No snow yet. Maybe ice on the roads tomorrow morning. Quote
Eric Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 (edited) Maybe 3-4 inches in Kansas City, but very cold (3-4 degrees all day) and windy. Dry snow is a plus 😀 Edited January 25 by Eric Quote
Milestones Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 Looks like about 6" so far, and it is snowing heavily. Quote
Brad Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 Here in NW New Jersey near Morristown, about two or three inches so far I’d say. Quote
jlhoots Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 Inch or two of snow overnight. Temp. this a.m. is 3. Sun emerging. Quote
felser Posted January 25 Author Report Posted January 25 Looks like we're up near six inches in Philly Western suburbs, and still coming down like crazy. Quote
Holy Ghost Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 (edited) Four inches and counting in the Cleveland 'burbs. 19 hours ago, Milestones said: We are waiting for it here in the Cleveland area.

We frequent the hofbrauhaus quite frequently. Edited January 25 by Holy Ghost Quote
Holy Ghost Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 Take this storm seriously. It's a sleeper, but the snow piles up fast. Up to 7 inches now. My institution has already closed Monday. Quote
Dub Modal Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 Ice and sleet with freezing rain coming. Freezing rain causes power issues so I hope it's much less than forecasted. Quote
Late Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 27 minutes ago, Dub Modal said: Freezing rain causes power issues... Yes. That's the absolute worst. Back in 2022, we lost power for 9 days due to freezing rain. It's definitely something to take seriously. Flashlights, generators (if you own one), and camping stoves! Plus—lots of blankets. Oh! And "pedestrian crampons" really helped. More or less like these. Quote
Aggie87 Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 My family in the Texas hill country had a pipe burst and have dealt with graupel, but are otherwise ok. Supposed to warm up a bit and then refreeze, so may be messy soon. My wife is in Atlantic City for work, and they had 6" overnight. I'm supposed to go join her on Wednesday, hopefully flights are closer to normal by then. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 We're at around a foot right now and it's windy, blowing all over the place. The snow's still coming down hard, but I imagine that by tonight it'll relax a bit. We are supposed to get around two feet! Quote
felser Posted January 25 Author Report Posted January 25 We've been getting sleet for a couple of hours on top of about 8" of snow. Just hope it stays sleet and doesn't turn to freezing rain. Temp 17, real feel 3, gonna be tough if we lose power. Quote

Yeah, huge fear if the power cuts out, then I can't watch the football conference championships. Quote

Don't go out! Here in Queens it's already turned to sleet. I don't know how many inches we got, because as Phil Woods once said to an empty room at the Half Note, "I'm getting snow blind from the table cloths!" Quote
Tom in RI Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 Here in RI looks like about 10 inches so far. Starting snowing around 9:00 am. The temp is up to 21 degrees from single digits this morning. The snow is very fluffy. Quote
ejp626 Posted January 25 Report Posted January 25 About a foot or more of snow and the drifts are up to my knees. I've shovelled twice and you can barely tell. It's still coming down hard, so it's definitely going to be work from home tomorrow... Quote

As an aside, I always thought "youse" or "yous" was a Philly thing, based on my regular visits and living in the area between 2008-2023 (and still visiting regularly). Is it a upstate/non-NYC thing as well, and I simply never heard it up there? Quote
jlhoots Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 At least 2 NBA games canceled because of weather. Quote

JSngry Posted January 26 Report Posted January 26 I kinda thought that "youse" and "youse guys" were distinct and desperate phrases? Quote
