I ve heard of places where water freezes in the air, though that was stories told by elders around the fire to keep the young ones in line.

Got to admire anyone who lives in that

Keep warm

Here in Staten Island, the 1st time I measured, was 12 inches, then shoveled, the 2nd time was 8 inches, then shoveled again, finally, and hoping the last 2inches. I didn't measure, that's what it looked like it, but since it had almost stopped maybe it was wind blown snow. I think we got at least between 18-20 inches here. Right now a few flurries are coming down. ENJOY!!!!

24" measured inches in Montville, NJ. Stopped for a little while this morning but snowing again. Forecast is for another 1-3 before it finally ends. Thank God for snowblowers. We (wife and I) have been doing the driveway about every 5-6 inches, keeping ahead of really high amounts. My driveway is 145 feet long, so it's prudent to take several small bites rather than one large bite at the end.

LOL Cold Phat... real cold. I'll remember that when you are suffering in 100+ temp with 90% humidity.

South shore of western Long Island. Almost 2 feet. I’m in my house almost 23 years. Every winter I say I’m buying a snow blower. I have 3 to 5 years left in the house. I don’t know if it makes sense at this point. I sure am getting tired of this snow sh!t!!!

Fair deal,D. Everywhere has its trade offs. I went and had the oil changed in my wife s car today, the mechanics lift is outside in his parking lot, hurricane blew the building away. Been like that over 2 years. We were saying he would love to have an hour or two of this 50 degree weather in August.

Ya ll stay safe and warm

Update, got over 30 inches , never loved a snowblower the way that I do now. Had to break down the snow than blow than break down the snow and blow I could repeat that but you know where I'm going . Hey destroyer, montville is not to far from me, where do you launch your boat?

My daughter lives in Mt. Arlington, so I know right where you are. I launch in 3 different places. Mostly in Laurel Park in Secaucus. Then I run down the Hackensack river to the New York bight, then from there to the Hudson river and from there to Sandy hook. It's a 21 mile run, but the launch ramp is really nice with good parking and it's free. So I use a little more gas but I pay no launch fees, and no tolls on the GSP. Plus while everyone else is sitting in traffic on the GSP on a Sunday I'm cruising upriver @ 40mph most of the way. I save time, temper and less distance to travel.

You have a place you buy bait, if you need it? Since 2017 I really haven’t had much free time to use my boat, but I’m planning on using it this summer. I’ve been toying with launching from secaucus and running down.
