We’re under the same advisory except that it says, “8 to 14 inches,” and that southern Suffolk and Nassau counties will get lighter amounts.

Cranking the heat. We’re having supper and then heading out for the evening walk.
Flurries started about an hour ago. Very light. Barely a coating. Looks like the final forecast is 8-14 and we are likely to be in the line of the freezing rain. Our snow will be wetter and heavier causing more outages than inland where they are expecting 12-18 and possibly more. Our PTree will probably get hit pretty good. She’s about an hour inland from me. I guess I have to be happy with 8 inches. Winter is just beginning. There’s always a chance for a better storm.

It sounds like you might get some ice! Those frozen layers on or between the snow.
This is us:
“Um, no, Mom. Just . . . No.”

So guess what… It was disappointing. Surprise! Not.
I mean, we got snow, how much is yet to be determined. I’m guessing four but I haven’t been outside yet. Daughter thinks it’s at least 6 to 8. We were definitely in the corridor, near I95, that got the least amount of snow. Le sigh.
But it is very pretty. I’m mostly happy once I got over the fact that everyone else got more than me. I fear PTree may be digging out for quite a while. I’m pretty sure she got hit bad. Will be interesting to hear when she gets a chance to pop in.

We’ve gotten about 6 - 8 inches so far. It’s very uneven because of the wind.
I just took the dog to the beach. He LOVED it. He was even more upset than usual when we had to leave. But we had no choice. People were letting their dogs run off-leash and he isn’t dog-friendly.
Here’s a photo from this morning:

OK so guess what… I was being a big fat baby. I just came in from a walk and then shoveling. At least 10 inches and dare I say it could even be a foot of snow out there.

We’re iced in. The walkway is a sheet of ice, too slippery for walking a large dog. So we played Ball in the backyard. The sun’s out. Everything’s starting to melt. We should be on the beach again soon.
It’s 27F/-3C. And it’s cold in my house. I’m freezing. I need to add another layer.

I just got a call from my electric company. Apparently they are watching a strong storm due to hit Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Rain and heavy winds gusting up to 70 miles/hr. They said we could have downed trees and wires and power outages lasting several days. In preparation, they have cancelled their employees vacations and holiday time off so that they will be available should the worst hit. What the flippin hell. I don’t see anything on the weather app that indicators anything like that!

There is a big storm front coming from the west. Temperatures here in Florida are going to drop 50 degrees from Thursday into Friday. They are forecasting thunderstorms for tomorrow night.
