Summit road is treacherous not on a snow day going up that way. Glad you made it.
This is pretty amazing - getting close to all-time lowest pressure for a non-tropical cyclone in the western Atlantic (949 mbar, I believe). If the storm track were just 50 miles west of where it is, we'd (I-95 folks) be in the 12" zone, but will likely have to settle for 6" or so.
"Official NWS map analysis from @NWSWPC has min pressure down to 957mb now with the Nor'easter. Drop of 15mb in just the last 6 hours; 36mb in 12hr; 47mb in 18hr. Amazing deepening rates."

It's real bad here in Howell as well. I can't even see the back end of my property past the barn. I slept in today, my wife took care of the animals this morning and I quote," It's windy as sh*t out there, the snow was pelting me sideways".
Lots of prep work happened last night to bare down for this storm. So we have plenty of water in case we lose power(own well), wood inside for the stoves and animals all hunkered down. We do it the night before now, we've been fooled too many times before.
It's all blowing around so hard to say how much. As you predicted, there is nothing on the trees or cars. Even my driveway still has plenty of black area. But looking out, it looks pretty bitter out there.
NWS radar

looks like the banding is making its furthest push inland....this should be the main show until at least noon maybe later

@mildone will be more than happy to "take care" of the animals if it gets worse. You got sheep?
I don't make house-calls. Not in this weather.
I'm hunkered down with a bit of a cold. About to hop into Jacuzzi to try to degunk my head (he says, teeing one up for everyone :)).
Remember when teenagers used to go around looking to make a few bucks by shoveling ?
Pouring heavy snow now with visibility <1/4 mile. Getting hard to measure with the wind, so took a dozen or so measurements and as of 9:30 am it averages about 2.5", which make sense, since we were around 1.5" at 8:30, which is is 1" per hour, a pretty decent rate. If the current even heavier rate holds, it'll be maybe 1.5" per hour - it's amazing out there right now.
Will the wind die down when the snow stops at about 6:00 pm or continue till tomorrow? Hate to plow with heavy wind.
No, we actually sold all of the sheep, but we do have some nice virgin gilts(pigs) for @mildone. Or if he prefers some of our whore sows he's more than welcome to give it a go. I just have to gussy them up before he comes over.:)
it will still be windy tonight but not as......maybe 15 mph with gusts of 25...tomorrow maybe 10 mph with similar gusts
Drifts on roof surfaces facing north are over a foot, and no snow on the south facing roof surfaces.
The news this morning said it's going to continue to be windy for the next few days with wind chills below zero at times as well. Not sure if there may be breaks though.
Barely. I don't think I have seen a teenager go around to shovel since I was a teeneager. I sure as hell could use one today though.
bac used to walk barefoot in the snow uphill both to and from school every day when he was a kid.
:)
:)
Not if you put some lipstick and a dress on it.:)
On another note, I can't get my Great Pyrenees inside, all I see is two snow balls running through out the pastures killing each other then they disappear into the snow. This has been going on for 2 hrs. now. I'm going to have snow encrusted frozen dogs and they love it.
We used to go down to the corner, wait for cars to stop, grab onto the bumper and get towed around town.
Back when American kids were tough.......and cars had bumpers.
ouch the truth hurts
Right here in Jersey..
"Teen Assistant offers several services to residents of nearby towns, ranging from small tasks to seasonal cleanups. Some of their highlighted services include shoveling snow, tech assistance and furniture movement and assembly, but Teen Assistant is open to hear any job requests, Cox said."
Now GO GET YOUR SHINEBOX!

I was Herculean. Myself and a few of the old American roughs used to sit near the entrance to a housing development with mid-density housing, and nail windshields with snowballs. Sometimes even plow trucks. Then we'd take Daddy's ol' trusty shovel and hit the sidewalk and porch. . American Grit.
What if there was an Uber for snow shoveling?ouch the truth hurts
I give anyone the right to take that idea in return for a meager 25% of all profits.

Kids would rather play Xbox than make money shoveling. It’s pitiful.

Coming down very thick here in Wayne, visibility low, winds are really howling at times.
When we first moved in around 2001, we'd get kids coming around offering to shovel. Now, never.
You should call these guys:

The folks who most need help shoveling aren't tech savvy enough to use an app to order anything. See: my parents.
Unless I'm underestimating the laziness of people these days, and if so, now i'm depressed.
As of 10:30 am, estimating about 3.5", which is another 1" in the last hour, less than I expected with how heavy the snow is falling, but that's what I got. About to head out on an errand. Snowing pretty heavily now and the radar shows the heaviest stuff of the day coming at us.
Hit the Copper Kettle Deli about an hour ago for breakfast for the family. Not sure if you go there, but it's a great place!
They still come around in my town. I think people who moved out into sprawling suburbs where the homes are far apart don't see the kids come around, but if you're in a more densely populated/space town you will see it.
The guy that has zero interactions with children knows everything about today's youth. My kids will be outside shoveling later, as will several other kids on my block. And they won't be holding their phones. Imagine that.ouch the truth hurts
When do you think this wraps up today for our area? I'm working in NB and live in No. Plfd.
