Jay's House of Weather 'n Stuff

Hey, Jay, its really nice outside, the sun came out and its in the 60s outside. And in 2 days, there will be freezing rain and a high in the low 30s. Whats up with that shit? Can you do something about it for me, 'cause I want it to stay just like it is now. TIA.

 

Should NYC expect more blizzards down the pike?

 

Yo brother man, all jokes aside, our local weather dudes are almost in consensus that it should snow here in the next 24 hours, what do you think - south Texas sensationalism, or might I see another snow flake before I die?

 

Hehe, definitely few plows, and very little in terms of de-icing equipment. I think they probably have more snow plows here than they have in Hawaii, but not many.

In (I think) 2003 we got 1 inch of snow here and they shut down I-10 for most of the day. 1-2 inches could mean a snow day for me on Friday. Thanks for the low-down.

 

We were being told 1foot minimum at 10PM last night. We got 2 inches.

I SURVIVED BLIZZARD 2011

 

So says every girl I ever chatted up in a bar.

 

What the hell happened?

I went to sleep expecting to see the end of the world when I woke up. Instead it looks like a few inches of snow that is already plowed off the streets.

 

Almost DIED this morning!

Just from walking the dog. A good half inch of ice out there.

 

Today reaped the benefits of living on the South Shore of LI. Not much ice and things are melting at a great rate. YAH!

 

I got almost nothing.

 

i'm on the North Shore and my gutters have been iced for weeks. so the rain that is now falling is finding its way against the foundation and into the basement - thru a strategically placed 6ft foundation wall crack just under one of the clogged spouts....

terrible building design with the size roof i have matched up with 5" gutters.

i am gonna rip the builder a new one and be his worst advertisement going forward.

ease up on the storms please.

This is my big problem too. Water cascading off the gutters. Had a water problem in the basement several years ago and brought in about a yard and a half of soil and regraded. It's been OK since then, but this may break the streak. I wonder if there is such a thing as heated gutters?

To make matters worse, there is now six inches of water standing at the end of my drieway. The storm drains are all clogged with ice and snow. The melt and rain has no place to go. There is an intersection only one house away that sometimes floods during heavy summer T-Storms despite the 3 storm drains that are there. They are all burried in ice now, like 6 feet deep and 10 feet wide. Oh well, if I get flooded misery loves company, the the 4 corner houses will get flooded before I do.

 

Didn't realize you were up in Maine.. and I would agree about that with many in New England and driving. Usually by the 2nd or 3rd snow storm the dummies get it.

 

That cyclone looks like a big monster. I have a friend who lives about 2-3 hours south of its landfall. They were battening everything down and hunkering down for a long storm ride last night.

 

Whats worse a cyclone or a hurricane?

 

jaywayne can correct me if i'm wrong, but i think they're essentially the same thing...just it's referred to as a hurricane in the atlantic ocean and cyclone in the pacific or something to that effect.
