It looks like this storm is going to be a big one and I don't feel like shoveling! :lol: Looking at the radar, there is a ton of precip down in TX and it's getting bigger and heading this way. I have a bad feeling we're gonna get hit hard!

I have a 19" TORO for sale that just needs a tune-up for $75.00.

Looks like the weathermen arent sure.

From FoxPhilly...

Big Snow Storm Due For Weekend
We will have snow for the weekend: It’s now just a matter of how much and when.

Get Details On The Nor'easter From Our Weather Blog

The Weather Authority is looking at the latest forecasting models for the Nor’easter that arrives Friday evening.

There is now a chance for at least 12 inches of snow across many parts of the Fox 29 viewing area.

It is still too early to forecast snowfall accumulation totals, but it is looking more like we will see the massive Nor’easter that is currently over Texas and the Gulf of Mexico.

Even if the storm misses us, we will see snow.

Our December storm brought between 8 inches to the northern suburbs to 24 inches in Philadelphia, with even more in some spots.

The weekend Nor’easter could rivals that storm in some areas.

With any winter storm, especially more than 48 hours away, there still can be uncertainties.

The one question that the models are still split on is the location of the storm when and if it gets “captured” along the coast.

This would make the difference how much snow we will receive. Some models do move the storm a bit quicker and a bit further south, which could end the snow earlier in the day Saturday.

Even if that would happen, we would still have received a significant amount. As of right now the potential of over 12 inches of snow is becoming more likely.

Just picked up a new 24" dual stage snowblower for a decent price so it probably won't snow now. :nod:

Exactly, white gold. 10" of snow would give me about 20hrs... I could really use the $$$.

As per Weather.com (The Weather Channel), it's looking like the south and a great deal of central will be getting hammered while the north won't be hit quite as hard. Still, I'll believe it when I see it.

This storm is looking real similar to the Dec storm. South might get 2 feet again and north might be 6" or less. It's like a backwards winter. There's more snow on the ground in MD than there is in VT!

We've got somewhere between a dusting and 1/2" on the ground right now, but it has gotten heavier and the flakes have gotten larger in the last hour or so.

son'bitch. we got at least 9" maybe more. I can't find the newspapers in it. a couple years ago the snowblower tried unsuccessfully to pass a newspaper. I had to take it all apart. damn, that better not happen again.

That was my biggest worry today. But no paper was found! And there was a plow train that went by while I was out blowing the snow so I was able to clean up the end of the driveway easier since it wasn't a frozen pile of snowslush. Watch out for Wed, it's looking like another 6-12" storm for us! :shock:

I was doing well, until the handle came loose and the drive cable stretched. Not to mention the pull cord snapped when I first started it up. :lol:

I'm impressed with my Cub Cadet. That 54" blade moves a lot of snow. Thank god it has a diff. lock. It was unstoppable with over 12" of snow.

I actually used the snowblower to clear a portion of the front yard where my brother had shoveled up a big pile. This way we can fill it up again with the snow from the next storm. And it looks like another 6-18" potential storm! I guess I don't have to worry about playing golf any time soon. :lol:

i went out with my gfs dad, and a buddy of his we were all over toms river hittin the million dollar plus homes, abt an hour a pop for abt 120 a piece depending on the owner. it was abt a 1300 day. and my cut was 270, might not sound like alot but for a 19hour day of shoveling walk ways and watching the plow do the drive way i was really pleased.:nod:
