A week of shoveling and thawing cars and repairing wifes car in a snow drift I learned a few things. My daughter had a sleepover birthday party during that one and I got snowed in for several days with the wife, daughter, and 4 0r 5 12-13 year old girls....I survived it, but if were ever to happen again, I'd shoot myself... 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robhuntandfish Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Glad it's gonna be a weekend if it is bad. We are closed Monday for the holiday but can go in to work and get stuff unburied. Have to take care of stuff at home but also have 80 vehicles at work to be sure get cleaned out to roll. Older I get the less I like winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steuben Jerry Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Local news here said 12-18 inches Saturday night to Sunday afternoon. Perfect timing. Plenty of time to plow and settle in for the AFC and NFC Championship games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowin Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Albany area ch 6 didn't give a total. Same as ch 10. I hope it's 5-6" . At least I'll make a little money. Only plowable storm we've had has been the one before southern zone gun season. Edited January 17, 2019 by mowin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Engineer Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 My wife and I are bolting at lunch time from Long Island to go up to the cabin in the Catskills. By us outside of Windham they are saying 20"ish. We are 2700' up so if it snows we are getting it. The quads and snowmobiles are ready to go and I cooked my ass off last weekend waiting for this. I already told my boss I'll be sick on Tuesday. I can feel it coming. I have food, booze football play offs. I'm covered. Then next weekend hunting on the island. I can feel the flu coming next Friday too. Bring on the snow 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPHunter Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Latest snow map from the Weather Channel. They seem to be trending the snow totals up from yesterday. Our local stations are pretty much staying away from putting expected amounts on a map yet. Too far away. I still call 10" here in Albany.

Robhuntandfish Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) forecast here is 12- 18 now and then -10 degrees for tues am. Looking like a long weekend just got shortened and i will be in Monday Edited January 17, 2019 by Robhuntandfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steuben Jerry Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 One of the local stations (WETM) this morning upped it to 14-20 inches. Higher elevations getting the 20. We're on top of a hill at 1775 ft above sea level. Good old fashioned snow storm! Seeing as how it's on the weekend - bring it on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'll go with up to 24" in the Albany hilltowns, because of the elevation and updraft from coastal storms here. However, the worst part will not be the snow, but the -20's to -30's wind chills that will sweep in from the arctic region. Got the woolies on standby, to keep the frost off my pumpkin! Typical mid January in these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 No snow predicted where we're staying in Florida Saturday or Sunday. Now where did I put my sunblock?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanD Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Love a good snowpocalypse. snowblower is full of gas and ready for action. It fired last night on the first pull which means on Saturday/Sunday it'll take 20 minutes to start...Such a love hate machine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moho81 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I don't think we will get much but if we do I prefer FEET instead of inches. To me there is something so cool about a ton of snow. 3-4 feet and nothing really stops (maybe the schools for a day) you might be delayed a bit but that's it you starting pushing over 4 feet then you can expect to not go anywhere for a day or two.

UpStateRedNeck Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 They seem to be leaning g towards the foot+ range here in smallbany. Then cold and wind after. These are the type of storms where the plow on the quad just don't cut it. Have to scrape the driveway 4 times in one night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdwaz Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'm sooo happy that this is coming (for my area and most of NYS) Saturday afternoon/evening and Sunday. If it was a weekday it'd be much more of a problem for people and businesses. Many can pretty much sit on their ass and enjoy the storm!! Stay safe and sound; take mucho pictures and post them here for a monetary prize, based on judges judging.
