Historical winter storm on the way.....

[Soap]

Possible 12-16 inches of snow starting Tuesday.
New York has already got hammered big time.
Ohio, Ill, Indiana all are suppose to get hammered hard as well.
I despise winter with a deep seeded passion.
With that said, by early next week (not this coming tuesday but next Tuesday) the expected temp is forcasted to be in the mid to high 40's.
Oh how wonderful the local rivers will definietly rise thus creating another concern. I despise the winter months here in Indiana. Happy, happy, joy, joy.

The NYC Metro area is expecting our first "big snowstorm" of the season starting Tuesday night. 3-6" of the white stuff is predicted.:ROTF: I love how the media plays this up since we have barely had any snow this year. I think the total snowfall measured in Central Park is 2" for the year so far.

Upstate NY has nearly 11 feet.

We are waiting to see if we will get it here on the east coast. I will be traveling to New Jersey Tuesday afternoon....are they getting it too?

They're suppose to, but like everybody else at this point its a wait and see game. Get out now before it hits and pick up some essential supplies just in case the worst scenario becomes real. An accumulation of 10+ inches will shut down alot of everything, bring most businesses to a screeching halt, even mail delivery will be effected.

It is supposed to start snowing here on Tuesday evening.

Even if it is only 6 inches it will be nice to actually have some snow this year. So far this winter has blown chunks.

I only speak of the Indiana area, the winter storm starts this evening around 7:00pmish. I work 2nd shift, I plan to work to dinner break (7:00) and then I'm clocking out and heading back home. I recall the blizzard of 1978, it snowed 12 inches and shut down everything for approx 2 weeks. The city was shut down from it, nobody could get out everybody was snowed in. With that said, this expected winter storm its suppose hammer us with 12-16 inches. Thats a bigger storm than the blizzard of 78.
Happy, happy, joy, joy.

Cincinnati's supposed to get 10-13 inches. I'm pumped. Not for the aftermath, though.

12-16 inches? That's it? I sneer at your 12-16 inches!!

[StukaJU87]

12-16 inches? That's it? I sneer at your 12-16 inches!!

For real. And he says it shut everything down for 2 weeks!:ROTF: Back when I was a truck driver we had like 2 feet one day. We spent the day shoveling snow from under the trailer tires and shoveling out the tractors. Next day we were back on the road. Did it suck? Yeah....but buisiness would have suffered severely if we waited 2 weeks to go back to work.

No shit. Toughen up, nancy boys. We won't even crank up the snowmobiles for that light a dusting.

I live in small city that never runs (city depts and postal) right when big snow storms hit. City trucks to salt and plow snow, 3 at best. Yah, its a nightmare where I live. We here know, what were gonna go through since the city doesn't prepare themselves. In 78, all the neighbors on our street (myself included) shoveled ourselves out or it wouldn't have got done. Its no fun here, this city sucks.

[MetalGrasshopper]

Sigh...I'm in cleveland. Lake effect + uber storm = me being very emo. Cleveland weather FTL

[jim777]

I'm in South Jersey; I'm expecting 3 inches tops. I just don't see it being too bad. I want the 70 degree temps we had in January back, I got a barbecue waiting and steaks in the freezer!
