Man are we getting slammed early! Right now we have about 6" of snow and this stuff is very very heavy! We are expected to get 10-14" of this stuff and trees are going down everywhere as they are still laded with leaves so the snow is really piling up. My neighbor to the right has a huge branch down and the neighbir to the right has a power line down in his driveway. Power has flickered many times so far so the generator is on standby!
Nor Easter!!!!

We have been lucky so far here, only 4-5" of the stuff. We have had a few power blinks but so far no outage. We do have close to 150,000 with out power tho in Central Pa. My trees lost most of their leaves already, but my neighbor lost here Mimosa tree, another neighbor lost here Mulberry tree.
Be safe and good luck with the storm.

Just got done snow blowin 8 1/2" of snow but its starting to all melt now even though its still snowing. Joea on here must be super busy as all Ive been hearing all day is sirens!!!!! Tom, it didnt hit my house, it hit his and almost removed his Bay window extension off the side of his house. Hes the one that has the wire laying in his driveway right now.
Wow you guys could be in for a long winter if it's starting out this way in October!
Down at work on to gold coast, started at 7am yesterday and I'm scheduled until 6pm tonight unless they hold me again. It has been something else. Upwards of half million people in CT without power. The roads are a sheet of ice and I just got off of I95 closing all lanes for an hour and a half plus.
Fun day

Naw not really, they'll just hit their avg earlier and then it'll be all over, right?

Wade they turned power on for the Christian street area in oxford a couple hours ago. If you don't have power you might be really close to getting it. I heard Middlebury might be back online by the weekend if we're lucky. Good luck, I'm over by breakneck hill!

Nice Julie, you had to say that while Rich is on line. You know how he gets out of control.

I need to tell you, it was a long two days around here. We had no Internet because Charter's main office for the region is down in the area that got slammed. No INTERNET for 2 days. Of course I am sure we will get a discount for the outage- yeah, right.

No internet? I feel your pain, Grapeman
Nothing new here. Power didn't even go out. Most of my town is out though! We lucked out.
Kids had 2 days off for "snow?" now and a 2 hr delay tomorrow morning. I think they will be loosing April vacation.
I hope this isn't a sign of what we're in for this winter!

Just got power back on at my office.
At home, I got real lucky! Everyone I know in my town STILL has no power. They are saying that most will not have any power until SUNDAY!...
Such is life in North Jersey!
The power conpanies are saying that they cant work on repairs because there is snow on the ground, The towns are saying that they cant remove the snow because of all the downed power lines! Geeeeeeeze!
