Big Winter Storm (Northeastern)

Hey Guys, Just seen on the news where parts of WV will get it but they said NY and NJ will get the most of it. They said by midnight the snow fall can be from 6" to 12". Hope you guys get those F1's covered up or in the garage. It's around 45 here in Ashland, KY but it has been raining for 2 day's. We did get alittle snow fall about a week ago didn't add up to much. The kids got a day off from school. You guy's try to stay warm.

I have about three inches of snow and its coming down hard here in Fonda NY.Trucks in the garage we are getting ready for paint I work on it about 6 hours a day.Should get inside painted next week and then its time to put the frame back under it.So a little snow dose not stop my progress.

Ya out here in northern MA it is snowing pretty hard. We have about 8 or so inches so far and it is still coming down pretty hard now. Don't worry the '49 F-3 is in the garage. but the '94 is taking the snow like a man. Ha, Hope all of you are staying warm and inside and watching all the snow pile up, and wait to be shoveled in the morning!!!

You know, you folks in the cold States are lucky. I mean, winter storms are kind of exciting!!! It's almost Christmas and you will actually have snow. Here in So Cal we have to deal with a bitter 40 degrees at night and a cool 65 during the day. Heck, I grew up in New York, and quite frankly I miss the winter storms!!!!!! Well at least this time of year. I may be singing a different tune come the end of January, or all of February and most of March and sometimes April........everybody have a very merry and blessed Christmas!!!!!

it's been in the 30's during the day and as most people from the cold ones will tell you if the sun is out and your body has adjusted , and i aint pulling your leg , 30's are t shirt weather and 40's are a freaking heat wave . ya gotta wear a jacket at night as it gets into the 20's or on a cold one the teens here . the guy's further north like fomoko hades they're probably still wearing shorts ...........

Shorts and a T shirt here, but the remains of the storm/cold front will hit Sat night, might get down to 30* Sun night.
