The Day After Tomorrow starts today

[JimmieMac]

According to the news we are going to be getting a bunch of snow here in the Northeast.Since work got cancelled for me tonight I'll try to document the snow via digital images. Why? Because I'll be up for the next 12 hours and I'm stuck in the house with nothing better to do.

3:30PM EST

The Left: You can see the main road.

The Right: Will lives upstairs.
http://img70.exs.cx/img70/66/right7ea.jpg

The Front: Right out my front door. Slightly to the left.

And since I'm clearing out my Memory Card, here's a picture of a brownie with rum flavored whipped cream and chocolate sauce sprinkled with toasted pecans.

This could be kind of cool. How much is expected? In WI, we got almost a foot and a half with more on the way.

I heard just under 30 inches, but i could've heard wrong.

[Mr Unoriginal]

New Jersey is supposed to get around 22 inches or so.

[evilmax17]

Yeah, I'm north of Boston and the snow started at 3pm (they predicted it to start at 6). I've heard at least 20 inches by the end of tomorrow, with 10-15 falling tonight alone. See you MA CAGS at the shelters!

[rockhero]

I was at the grocery store earlier and it was mobbed.

[JimmieMac]

Here's the forcast for Providence, down at the bottom is the 36 hour forecast it says 10-15 inches for today and then another foot then a few inches.

[jaykrue]

ya know all that time digicaming snow COULD be spent gaming (especially if you're of the MMORPG persuasion)

[tornadomann]

Here in Iowa we got a couple inches of snow, but we had freezing rain for like 3 hours before it started snowing. I would definitely take the ice over 30 inches of snow!

[greendj27]

This could be kind of cool. How much is expected? In WI, we got almost a foot and a half with more on the way.

We got about a foot so far in Madison, but a friend of mine in Milwaukee said she can't even get her car out because so mcuh snow was dumped behind her by the plows.

If what you guys get in the Northeast is anything like what we got, saty off the roads. They were pretty bad last night.

[Rich]

I got pictures of my own, here in NYC.

JKing (not bout the wetting the pants tho)

any1 else think that home depot has something to do with this? I think it will snow 10 inch, not 300000000 million inches.

[Kayden]

Work was cancelled because of 2 inches of snow?

Yeah, high winds make everything even worse. I was out shoveling at 3 in the morning last night, and yes the roads were very bad. I saw someone almost hit a mailbox.

[xxdeadp0olxx]

I just checked one of the local news stations web site and it said a total of 20-30 inches of snow. I'm charging my gba sp just in case the power goes.

[JimmieMac]

ya know all that time digicaming snow COULD be spent gaming (especially if you're of the MMORPG persuasion)

All that time? I turn my cam on, lean out the front door and snap a few pictures. 3 minutes start to finish.

I'm in Mancheser, NH and it is just starting to snow @ 4:20PM. Supposed to get something like 8 to 12 inches. It's been really cold here this week, -2 this morning.

[FriskyTanuki]

Good luck with the snow thing, I'll go have some fun here in 76 degree sunny weather.

[MrFriday18]

ya about 20 inches here in NJ

The roads are getting bad here. I went to the new Gamecrazy they opened right near the RI/MA border and the roads were bad. Not to mention I had a Shaq-fuing time finding a parking spot because everyone was at Stop & Shop. One of the guys working at gamecrazy was going to talk to the manager at hollywood video about closing early.

[SadieDee]

Darn, I just finished shoveling my driveway around 4:00, are we supposed to get more snow? I'm in Ohio. I wish I had a better digital carmer because, right now, there's more snow on the ground here :-)

You need to mail some of those desserts my way, they look so good! Those tuxedo thingies look especially yummy.

It's located in pawtucket RI. It just opened last month.

[epobirs]

Stop hoarding all of the cold, you icy bastards! It was warm enough here today that I had trouble sleeping after being up all night. The sun hits directly on my room's window this time of year. It must 80 F in here right now when I've only managed about four hours rest.

[Death2Sanity]

That's it, I'm so moving up there. Any suggestions for a good place to live?

(no, I'm serious, I just graduated, and I'm looking to get out of here and go someplace new)

[Scorch]

For some reason, it's snowing in TN. Nothing big. I took pictures, but I won't post 'em.. mainly because it's just a dusting.

It's 58 degrees here. I'm from Illinois originally and I WANT SOME SNOW!!!

Right now I'm looking for a teaching sort of job. I'd really like to give teaching a try, but I'm not locked into it. I've got an English degree, but it's a Bachelor's of Science one so I've got a technical background too.

(To stay on topic:

Man...awesome pics. I could maybe post a pick of some of the 1/10" of freezing rain we got today? Nah. )

[Wshakspear]

Thats my car. Notice how you can see it? You couldnt earlier. See, after all the snow come the 30+ mph wind. Its frickin insane out there.

EDIT: that Air Freshener is a Crazy Taxi one that i won from CAG Morpheus. Unfortunately my Hula dancing Stitch was off the Dash for cleaning

How hard is it to get a teaching degree? Is there set courses? I'd like to teach culinary but I don't want to do it at a high school or college. Like....at some youth center or something along those lines.

[Death2Sanity]

That's one thing I still have to do, I haven't gotten my teaching license. From what I've been told though, it's not that hard to obtain at all. A lot of places even have programs where you can earn it WHILE teaching (Fast Track, Lateral Entry, etc). So I can't tell you for sure, but it sounds like I can get all the stuff I need that I don't have yet in a semester or so...and get a substitute teaching license in just a few weeks.

I'd like to teach high-school english courses, personally, but I'm not dead-set on that...getting a job is the key right now. Maybe some ESL (English as a second language) tutoring on the side (I already work as a tutor for a guy who came over from Japan for business.) Write some as well, save up and eventually go back to school to work towards a masters.

(Sorry, really didn't mean to hijack the thread like this!)

Flushing Hospital.... never lived there though.

Heh, fair enough. But yeah, I've seriously thought of moving up north...I'll miss the hurricanes, but I've always loved cold weather, and I'm curious what it's like living within driving distance of a city that has more than one Wal-Mart / Best Buy / other sign of civilization.

Music's better up there too, I hear. And hockey is actually watched (when it's being played, anyway).

I don't know, I just had a friend leave here two years ago and move to Charlette NC and he loves it. Diff'rent Strokes man. I've lived and visited all over the country but you always want to go back to "what's yours", no matter how much you would like to move to different place, it's never quite the same.

[daria19]

We probably have about the same amount of snow as you see in Cheapy's pix. There is a flood warning for southern CT on top of this, and I live basically across the street from long island sound. The PA system announced that people should move their cars to higher elevations, but nobody in the apartment complex has gone outside to do this. It seems more likely that you would wreck trying to move your car in the blizzard with no visibility and poor road conditions than have your car be flooded in the middle of the night.

You're kidding me right? This week was a Godsend after all that damn rain. I'm perfectly happy with 75-85 degree weather in January. :D

I like it being in the 70's, but we don't have AC. The whole apt. community was switched to heat in November even though it only gets into the 30's at night a handful of times since then. My roommate and I aren't that happy that it's very warm in our rooms and it never gets cool in our apartment.

[johnnyoski]

I'd say there's at least 8 inches on the ground here in Metro Detroit. The winds are about 30-40mph though and making the drifts nearly 2 feet on some places of my sidewalk.

[Legolas813]

You guys are so lucky. We have to live with 75 degree weather here in Florida right now. I've never even seen snow.

Seeing all these snow pics (and the desserts!!!)...is making me envious. I get snow once every 10 years. Yeah, ONCE every TEN years. :( Even then, it doesn't even reach 3 inches.

[ace25one]

Well I'm snowed in. The drifts are crazy and I had a hard time opening the outer door. I'm not even gonna try to shovel this now because it's nasty out. The wind is blowing around 45mph.

[moiety]

RichD: Those pics are really cool.

Still snowing here, and windy. The snow in the driveway is up to the windows of the cars, plus the snow on top pretty much buries the cars. The snow on our deck alone is about 33-34 inches high.

I guess they are saying that this storm is about the same as the Blizzard of '78, and when all is said and done, it may be the biggest snowstorm since the last century.

[ace25one]

RI just declared a state of emergency and they have already canceled school for tomorrow. I think MA has also declared a state of emergency but am not certain.

hmm I'd say we got about 4-5ft, theres a huge snow drift near my house at least 6ft tall, massive. But generally about 3ft-5ft depending where you live in the city. We eat snow like this for breakfast.
