February 12, 2006: Snow in NYC

[Christiern]

From my window this morning...

[7/4]

I'd say we got about a 1 & 1/2 feet here in Jersey. It's all going to melt real quick, warmer for the rest of the week. I'm not even going to bother to dig my car out.

[Tom in RI]

We had about 2-3 inches overnight here in RI. The storm has just picked in the last half hour(10:30 AM), starting to look like the blizzard that was forecast. Lots of snow and lots of wind, white out conditions.

Just started shoveling out at least the wheels of my car. Too much to do the whole thing at once as out of shape as I am. So the 'good news': there's a whole lot such excercise ahead later.....

no snow in Tucson Az

Eighteen inches here, and STILL COMING DOWN.

The weird thing was that, while I was in the chatroom last night with Soulstation1, conn_500, and Aggie87 (don't think FFA was there at the time), we had a big flash of lightning followed immediately by a loud clap of thunder here while the snow was falling heavily. At the time, I thought that maybe a power line transformer had exploded nearby or something like that. But this morning, I heard on the local news that, indeed, this blizzard had been accompanied by some rather freakish lightning and thunder.

This jazz BB as well as the others, seems tobe very active today. I guess all of us in the northeast are snowed in.

[GA Russell]

They were predicting heavy thundershowers and maybe a little snow for us here in eastern North Carolina, but we got nothing like that. Drizzle most of yesterday, clear skies today.

Predicting 60 degrees Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

[frank m]

Wow, North Carolinia. 60 degrees. You really know how to hurt a guy.

[Adam]

Sunny and dry in Los Angeles. Again.

I wish it would rain a little.

[Man with the Golden Arm]

18 inches big whoop! aren't the Olympics on or something? ... you would think that the weatherfolks would at least need to go to the bathroom at some point if for nothing more than to use up all that TP everyone buys.

since I have no cable I'm bout ready to open up a big can of doppler effect on them meterologists!

[Big Al]

Man, I wish we could get some snow around here once in a while.....

Weather folks always seem to forget how it gets colder after a big snow, especially at night.....no sense digging the car out, the snow plows will pile it up over your car's roof anyway.

I feel your pain! It snows about 50-75 miles north of us, but we get a cold rain here in the Atl....or ice.

I live in an apt. and the car is in the lot. Maintenance better not pile it on my car.

It won't get above freezing until Monday. I'll go out and slide most of the snow off around noon so the layer of ice on the bottom can melt. It was snowing for hours before the temp went below freezing yesterday.
