Winter Storm Jasmine-Forsythe
You west coasters probably aren't aware but over here everyone is basically preparing for End Times

"Snowfall rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour are not out of the question during the peak of the storm Monday night into Tuesday. Thunder and lightning could also accompany the heavy snow."

I used to want to live on the coast / now I'm not so sure
"Juno was named by the winter storm naming committee at The Weather Channel on Sunday morning. The name Juno is from Roman mythology, a goddess who looked after the women of Rome."
ha ha ha ha
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
I really gotta prep for class in case that happens
ARGH
"TRAVEL MAY BECOME IMPOSSIBLE AND LIFE THREATENING"
Many states have already declared states of emergency.
3,000 flights have already been canceled for today and tomorrow.
The governor of CT has declared a travel restriction after 9pm. Private cars cannot travel in NYC after 11pm and something similar to that in Boston.
Two NBA games for tonight have been cancelled.
More than 2 feet of snow projected plus 60 mile an hour winds in some places?
It makes it much scarier to know that the whole country is aware of this storm??
I am trying so hard to prep for class but I just keep checking the emergency weather alert thing for school. Like a little kid!
That is intense about the private car lock-down. Serious hatch-battening going on
School is closing today at 5:30 and will remain closed all day tomorrow
dang! I was gonna teach my kids about Germany
- candles
- lots of food you don't have to cook
- small propane camping stove you could at least boil water on / heat up a jar of beans
- pre-ground some coffee!! Major priority
- put car in garage
- extra flashlight batteries
- doing all the laundry now
I don't really know what else to do. The heating is really the only stressful thing, and no, we have no backup plan. Last year apparently the power was out for 9 straight days and my colleague had to sleep in her office on campus with her husband and two toddlers.
I wish we had paid the $400 to get our chimney cleaned like everyone told us to do, then at least we could make a fire at night!
we do have a sled, we could hook the dog to it and go on our merry way in that fashion I suppose
Probably too late but you could look at a kerosene or gas catalytic space heater. Or if you have some winter sleeping bags you can zip them into one bag and body heat will do the rest. Your car is also a good emergency warming station but make sure to dig out the exhaust pipe first.
And know where your fire extinguisher is (you have one, RIGHT?) and keep it handy as fire trucks will probably not be able to reach you.
I am truly scared... is the power going to go out? Am I going to be a frozen person?
I don't have a car here so no emergency errands are gonna get done. I have food and wine, so I thought I was doing a good job?
We have a gas fireplace but it's not working properly. Ummmmmmm..... fuck.
Why did y'all leave? The weather finally got better, probably forever.
No media outlet has ever been faulted for over alarming. What happens will happen. But curious to see the power outages happen. It is usually the lowly tree falling that is the cause.
Here is a Hurricane Sandy Internet outage animation
Hard boiled some eggs, swept the floor... feeling antsy waiting for disaster.
I'm from Oregon, you guys!!! I'm just a small salamander, I don't know what to do in these extreme climes.
It's a snowstorm, not the end of civilization.
Prepare but do not panic.
Relax and it will be over in a couple days.
I wanna be stuck in some snow!
MY
GOD
UncleBoatShoes has it right sorry got carried away there. Been watching too much of that prepper tv show. This happened a few years ago to NYC didn't it?
Check in and let us know how yer doin owly
Welcome to Orefornia, where your knees will never storm-ache.
Well so far it has been no big deal here guys! Although they were right to shut down school/town, because it did snow a shit load and is still snowing. In the night I woke up to the howling wind a couple of times. I remember that from my weird childhood--the way the wind actually moans and howls like a creature.
But so far, still have power. The plows are out, but it's snowing a lot. E.g. in the early morning dudes plowed our sidewalk and the road in front of the house and now it's all completely covered again in probably 3 inches
I am eating a miniature apple pie
From reading that site I have learned the oldest town on the cape is called Sandwich
hahaha just read a BBC story about the storm: "But some have just been enjoying the snow, bringing out their skis and sledges"
ha ha ha sledges
It looks awful out there, but I'm fine in here!
I think it's over
It's still happening here, still snow. Very glad I have a lot of snacks and some booze.
Currently eating breakfast in bed, cat is under the covers sleeping.
~O)
at least now I have a lot of cool snacks
putting my head back in my ass now
36 inches!??!
The earth is truly amazing
We "only" got 17, but the drifts/piles on the side of the road are super huge. There are no more sidewalks.
Over here it is "spring".
Witch hazel is in full bloom, which is normal, but forsythia and quince are already well on their way.
I own three of them. They are like pets to me.
