20" of snow in Brooklyn????
That will be interesting. I was speaking with a Long Islander earlier this afternoon, She was telling me of the terrible blizzard that was battering their home. I don't think they like snow much.

They are saying 15-25 inches by tomorrow night here in Maine. There is already quite a bit on the ground, between the plows and the wind, I would guesstimate 8 inches have fallen, and its coming down hard.

We were told 12-18 inches by this afternoon, but the snow stopped around lunchtime and we've only gotten about 5.
(AdLib a news blooper: Hey, weatherman, where's that 12 inches you promised me last night?)

Know what u mean OtherBower,
A few years back we had a weather guy here in the Philly area named John Bolaris. Actually pretty good at his craft.
Anyways, a storm was coming and for about a week his station played this thing up as the "storm o' tha century"! All the other stations were talking also, but no where near as terrible. Mr Bolaris almost started riots and runs on stores beacause of his dire prediction
That storm came blowing up the coast and just did NOTHING!!!
The storm we had the last 2 days was worse than that little blip of a storm.
So now, the weather guys here are sort of scared when it comes to the "big storm" predictions. Known as the "Bolaris Blunder" in these parts.
I think Mr. B has now moved to NYC....

We use a tried-and-true method at the greenhouse:
we stick our heads out the door. (Yep, it's weathering!)
We have so little faith in our local forecasters, because of exactly what reever was saying, that we plan different schedules for the same day so we're covered whatever the weather.

Being a native of PA, I love the snow, though being Active Duty Navy has kept me away from home for the past 5 winters. I am looking forward to this Christmas, though, I finally get to go home and visit my family...the snow is an added bonus!

No kidding....I was stationed in VA in '99 when Virginia Beach got 4 inches....just about everyone was "parking" their cars in the median of the interstate. For some reason, some people decide to leave their brains at home when it snows or rains really hard. If you aren't comfortable driving in those conditions, stay home.
Still kicking!!

And here we sit high and almost dry. It's supposed to SNOW in Montana, dang it! We have had drought conditions for the last 5 years and it doesn't look like it's going to let up this year either. It is spooky though when we do get snow. There are so many people moving here that totally freak out with an inch of snow on the roads. Another irritation is those people too lazy to remove the snow from their windows ( or scrape them) and try to drive with a 6 inch hole to look through.

FORDLOVER1951- same here in minnesota, havent had a real winter in 5 years either. i dont mind it though, i work outdoors so it saves me some headache.
i cant imagine the headache all that snow must cause in crouded places like NY or Brooklyn.... ive never been there but i dont think theres too many places to push the snow out of the way? here we think it sucks when you have a big pile at the end of the driveway!
