^Thats terrible! Yupper, we got a lot of snow with more to come and wind gusts in the 40's. Last fall I convinced my Massachusetts born and raised girlfriend to move to NJ. One of the selling points was how much less snow NJ gets. Currently central NJ is forecasted to get two feet, Boston area - 2"-6". People went nuts here too. Tried going to Whole Foods and Trader Joes on Thursday, couldn't ever get a parking place. Ended up going to the local grocery store; no lines, no waiting. Never been been a fan of pork roll. We had a chorizo, mushroom, pepper & mozzarella omelet for breakfast. John You're right! It's midday here in the Berkshires of western Mass -- which would normally be buried in snow at this time of year -- and the roads are black. Your girlfriend might be feeling a bit homesick right now, John.

Yeah, that's one where it's hard to just not take the hit. There were a couple times I had to justify why our facility should be kept in NJ and the low snowfall was justified from a historical perspective. But it's the coastal storms that always tend to wallop.

Just finished plowing/shoveling the driveway..looks like we're going to have to go a couple of rounds with this storm.
Along with getting groceries, I also make sure to get plenty of lumber to mill up when waiting the storm out.

In our location we never got the wind that was forecast during the exit of the storm so our issue was just the snowfall. The far south end of NJ coast had the highest tides and flooding, more then during the Sandy hurricane. Hope all the site members are safe with the only distress being a little back ache.
Back to our normal wood related programming.

We got about two feet with some drifts twice that. Despite high winds and wet snow there were no local power outages nor many downed trees. Temps in the 40's today so it's going fast.
