Not yet, heck, he just got out of bed and hasn't even done his hair yet!

He's put in a call to wardrobe and the stylist.. maybe a little later today.

He is so beautiful.

Checked the history of Yuki to learn he's quite the forecaster. Has he made a decision yet?

All of us weather nuts are waiting to hear what YUKI is forecasting for local snow depths. Come on Steve, get that cat in gear!

Enjoy this storm and stay safe!

I am at our home near Boston for the storm. We are on the North Shore. Winds are about 30 mph, gusting to 40 mph, snow is sideways, visibility is less than 1/4 mile and we had one inch the last hour.

Be patient, it is coming.

My son said it is coming down pretty good in southern NH, he lives in Milford.
Looks like ski ares may get a bit on Monday then we may be in for another storm on Thursday. Hope so

Ive been patiently watching the boards and the weather because I'll be up in 2 weeks for some snowmobiling. Was looking pretty bad there for a while. And its hard to judge when you have to get your plane ticket at least a month in advance. 1 storm isnt enough for me to settle down, will be happy if 2 storms come through and dump a lot! I was up for last years derby and couldnt believe the lack of snow.

You know that probably isn't to far off from what they were showing on TV.
Isn't it amazing that in this day and age people just go into a panic whenever there is a storm coming. Like the world is gonna end and all the food will disappear from all the stores.
Cold temps and light snow do not bring power lines or tree's down. Besides with all that wind we had in the last month anything that was going to come down already has.
Still not a whole lot happening here, I was going to go out tonight but I'm going to head to bed and get some sleep then head out around 3am or so to start plowing.
None of my customers are going anywhere until the storm is over.

Oh and we just let the dogs out, we have about 4" here in Belmont.

Your patience has been rewarded.

This is the real deal.

Stay safe all!

Coming down real good....and very heavy snow here in Weymouth, Ma. Won't be long before lights are out.

Irish Choppers · 02-08-2013, 10:31 PM

Heavy wind in Sturbridge MA right now with snow coming down sideways. Coming your way guys. I'd like to take my sled up to our place in Meredith tomorrow if the Governor lifts the State of emergency.

Merrymeeting · 02-08-2013, 10:34 PM

Still mostly a southern/coastal storm. Only about 3" here in New Durham.

But, we are on the SW side of a mountain. Earlier today, there was almost no snow or wind around our house. But looking at the lake through binoculars, it was almost whiteout on the ice. Perhaps we are missing most through the protection of the mountain.

I'm in Amherst. It really hasn't been that much yet, maybe 5" or so all day.

That is why I am very very upset bout the FCC decision that Belknap County is in the Boston market not Portland. I miss WMTW.

WMTW was Laconia's station since the '50's.

The only thing the weather channel is good at, is turning a weather report into hype. This naming of snow storms is pure bogus. They don't have any talent, so they have to resort to gimmicks to gain attention. Did you know that this storm will affect more than 50M people? And so did the last one. And the one before that. And so on. Yet, that's the weather channel headline for EVERY storm, as though that's supposed to impress us with their counting ability.
