(83,710 posts)63. Snow and wind gusts are amazing. Still have power.
For how long...??? Trees are touching the ground here. Very heavy snow. My Sis and I are tag teaming the shoveling. We are trying to keep our Mom's stairs clear. Neither of us can lift a foot of snow. The joke is, that as soon as one of us comes in, the stairs are covered again!

So far not too bad here in NYC. They're saying 11 inches, so far about 3-4. Wet snow, high wind.

This is what I am afraid of happening here in the wee hours of the morning. Stay safe down there!

The storm surge is the worst part, I guess. That's what Sandy did there, too, right?
