A winter storm watch remains in effect from Friday morning through late Friday night.
The winter storm watch is in effect for all of southern new england.
Snow is expected to develop from west to east late Friday morning or early afternoon. The snow is expected to become heavy not too long after onset. The potential exists for snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour Friday afternoon and evening. Roads during the friday afternoon and evening rush hour will likely be snow covered and treacherous.
At this time, it looks as though most of southern new england has the potential to see 6 to 12 inches of snowfall by midnight friday night.

Nope. Doesn't really bother me all that much.
I'm just sick of hearing about it. We live in New England. It's going to snow in the winter. Just something to deal with. The news media are the ones that hype it all up and get everyone worked into a frenzy. It's good for ratings because the more they forcast gloom and doom, the more folks will stay glued to their news stations to get updates. People will watch the same reports from the worst hit areas over and over repeatedly. I can bet that if one weather person on any particular station were to go against all the others and say that this storm wasn't going to be any big deal (even if they were correct), they'd be out of a job in very short order.
MJ gets sucked into all the weather hype.

Chum is absolutely right. Long Island gets less snow than you guys but the media hype is the same. They're calling 2"-5" by this evening and there is about 2" right now. There is more dirt and salt on the roads right now than snow, every third Hummer on the road is spun off over a curb and in the woods. Can't stand the morons in their little [and big]SUV that think they are invincible to winter driving. Every gas station in town is full w/ customers and the milk , bread and canned goods are flying off the shelves......fools.....I think I'll go get my boy out of school a little early and we'll go play on the quad

I am up to 10-12 inches on the ground. just changed my second shear pin on the snow blower. I like this stuff. . My daughters are so excited.

I have been at work since 6:30pm we have about 6" of heavy stuff, I got the snow blower out and cleaned stuff up.
They say maybe 5" more of ocean effect snow by morning?
My daughter says I have 8" at home, so i guess there will be some cleaning up to when i get home.

:oh: Nooooo!!!!!
You know he just gonna be bustin hydraulic hoses left and right. And that just the least of it. You going to keep going to Wareham to fix it everytime it breaks?:devil:

What are you saying CB, it would be like giving a monkey a machine gun? I've heard MJ's very mechanically inclined, however he chooses not to do the work. He doesn't need to with you and BS around. He's a smart man. He is, however, a great weatherman. Not so when it comes to electricity (that ugly freezer incident).

12-20-2008, 12:29 AM
I will never have a plow, they just beat the crap out of your truck!!
And you are right Seacreats, I was very capeable of doing all my stuff for years!! I have worked on cars trucks and boats, but years of beating up my body is now catching up with me.
My back is gone from arthrits, hands gone from diabeties. Really i am crippled now in my hands. I was to have another operation xmas eve but it has been changed.
So I do rely on CB, BS and a few others now for a lot of help, maybe to much at times! And i thank them all!!
Snow has stoped a bit but has now started again, but light. I say here in Hyannis we have about 6" its tuff to tell as it started to rain for a bit.
And i think i did something to my back??

MJ, look at all the training you're giving them. They should be thankful. At 61 I keep telling myself that it's just a number, but some days it's harder getting out of bed. Take care of yourself. Enjoy your holidays.
