North Easter check in thread [View all] Texasgal Feb 2013 OP
Lots of thick, wet heavy snow. High winds. The power is flickering occasionally. n/t Ian David Feb 2013 #1
Oh no! I hope you don't lose power! Texasgal Feb 2013 #2
Thanks! I have a back-up generator. Ian David Feb 2013 #61
Wet snow turned to sloppy rain. Will it change back again? Don't Know. No electricity KittyWampus Feb 2013 #3
What's the temp there? Hope you have heat. freshwest Feb 2013 #12
Snow and wind gusts are amazing. Still have power. sheshe2 Feb 2013 #63
Glad you still have power, sheshe! And don't slip and fall! freshwest Feb 2013 #68
Fairly quiet Downeast, for now anyway. :-) GreenPartyVoter Feb 2013 #4
Light snow, getting heavier, NE wind picking up jpak Feb 2013 #5
Snowing here in Philly now. n/t BumRushDaShow Feb 2013 #6
Does Philly expect lots of snow? Texasgal Feb 2013 #18
So far not too bad here in NYC. They're saying 11 inches, so far about 3-4. Wet snow, high wind. JaneyVee Feb 2013 #7
Alfredo posted the Times Square Earth Cam last night: freshwest Feb 2013 #14
Yeah it is frigid biting cold. I hope all the shelters are being utilized. JaneyVee Feb 2013 #50
Oh, wow. So no driving out of there. How deep is it? freshwest Feb 2013 #52
It's actually not that deep as of yet, but it's really starting to pick up now. JaneyVee Feb 2013 #60
Reliable public transportation is a great advantage. freshwest Feb 2013 #67
12.5 inches down here in SE Conn. NutmegYankee Feb 2013 #8
It's gotta be pretty cold to do that, right? I've seldom been around sleet, myself. freshwest Feb 2013 #13
It's weird. I guess the air aloft is warm. NutmegYankee Feb 2013 #16
If the wind is blowing, I'm guessing it feels colder than 27 and the ground is very slippery. freshwest Feb 2013 #17
Oh, it's wicked cold in the breeze. NutmegYankee Feb 2013 #22
Hoping few people will be out that don't have to be. Emergency only > oh, man... freshwest Feb 2013 #34
you still have power? my family is in Manchester - no power loss there Laura PourMeADrink Feb 2013 #39
I'm surprised I still do. I usually lose it. NutmegYankee Feb 2013 #44
Good luck, stay warm Nutmeg Laura PourMeADrink Feb 2013 #49

Scituate and Marshfield near the ocean--they are expecting a storm surge. MADem Feb 2013 #43
