Masive Storm Heading for the US

We have been starved for snow up here in the winter wonderland for so long that a lot of us are looking forward to a good old fashioned snow storm. I hope we get so much that the U900 UNIMOG won't push it and I will have to get the D6-9U out. Everything is full of fuel and the freezer is full. Yup, I might have a sickness!

These are some photos of our D7Es on Jan 26th 1978, we had 18" of snow and 2" of ice underneath with 60 mph winds that made 20' drifts!

We only got about 6" where I am in Western NY but I was talking with a work colleague who's in Southern NH and his weatherman is telling him 2'. This snow, which is what came over from the Midwest is very dense and heavy, so all the trees are fit to break. I hope I don't lose any of my ornamentals.
Cheers,
Neil

This is a pic of my baby this winter cleared out a logjam in creek. 3' willow tree laying across creek had it completly blocked.

I'm about 15 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, Southern Maine. They have been forecasting 18 to 24 inches of snow for us, was supposed to start Fri evening, BUT they missed it by about 12 hours, started Fri morning, and at 8 PM we already have about 10 inches, so I'm guessing we will get around 30 inches. It's been years since we have been dumped on like this, but I have two wood racks full of firewood, tractor is full of diesel, my wife always keeps enough food to go around 3 weeks. Just have to wait for it to stop, but they say it will be another 24 hours before that happens. Then it warms up to around 50 on Mon and Tues with rain. Fun, fun.

Southern Wisconsin got 6 inches of very wet snow, dropped down to 20 this morning, warmed to 26 today.
It'll stick to the trees for a day or two.
Plowed 9 inches of snow out of the driveway this morning.
Didn't bother with the 3 inches from a week ago.

Its blowing like hell here on the south shore of long island---81 mph gusts at Montauk----10 inches of very wet heavy snow
North shore has 20 inches so far

Neil, Head towards the lake. I'm right on the lake in Pultneyville. Had about 12 inches when I got home last night. Spent 1.5 hours shoveling and snow blowing. Haven't been out yet this morning, but Deck has another 5 inches or so this morning. I'm sure some is from drifting, I get a lot of that.

Thank goodness ours isn't heavy and wet. Wind has been whipping all night. At 6:00 AM the local weather reported that the next town to mine was reporting 30 1/2 inches of snow and 6 more hours to go. Looks like I should have put the diesel fuel in the dozer, not the tractor.
