Snowing like heck here at the Jersey Shore.

The bamboo in my back yard is bending under the weight of the white stuff!

Right now we have -10 C and a blizzard outside.

It has been snowing heavy since yesterday. Since last night we have added about another 10 inches to the almost 2 feet that we already have now.

The airfield is closing down and we are all being sent home from work because it is supposed to get worse.
 
We got something like 25" of snow on top of the orginal 27" we got on Saturday. I've got a 4X F-150 and I got stuck in my own driveway. Put the dog out to "do her stuff" and she gave me that "you're kidding me, right" look that dogs use occasiionally and cats live by.

Have some pics but I really don't know if it's worth posting them. Especially when the weather types just said there's another 6-10 inches on the way for Monday.

This is nutz.
 
Here are a few pics of the weather around here. Been snowing like crazy for over a month. We got another 12 inches on top of the almost 2 feet we already had since last night and supposed to continue until tomorrow.

I saw and survived the Blizzard of 77 the only time snow made it to a national disaster

'By Sunday evening some areas of Western New York had, along with banning traffic, also banned snowmobiles as a snowmobiler was injured in a collision with a chimney on top of a house and others had come dangerously close to power lines due to the high drifts In Newstead, for example, approximately 30-foot (10 m) drifts led to the suspension of even emergency snowmobile traffic due to the power line dange"r

There were three airplanes on the tarmac at the Greater Buffalo International Airport in Cheektowaga waiting to take off when the blizzard hit (Bahr 1980, p. 94). One of them had idled for 5 minutes due to the blizzard hitting, and this resulted in the nose wheel freezing and preventing it from turning around (Bahr 1980, p. 53). It took several hours to bring the three airplanes back to the terminal since they had to do this via radio communication. The limited visibility prevented the pilots from seeing the men on the ground who would normally guide the airplane (Bahr 1980, p. 94).

A fire broke out at Whitney Place and Virginia Street, in the City of Buffalo, on Friday evening, and this resulted in fire trucks ramming through stalled cars in an attempt to get to the scene and fire hoses being stretched two to three blocks to reach the fire, as that is where the fire trucks were able to make it to (Bahr 1980, 80-81). The National Guard assisted in taking firemen to the scene in four wheel drive vehicles (Bahr 1980, p. 82). Not only did the weather frustrate efforts to reach the scene, but it also hampered the ability to fight the fire. Attempts to disconnect hoses to move them resulted in the water freezing and bursting the hoses (Bahr 1980, p. 83; Rossi 1999, p. 230). Since the street drains were blocked with snow, runoff water from the fire rose to the running boards on the fire department's pumpers. When this water froze it required jack hammers to extricate the pumpers (Rossi 1999, p. 230).
 
Dang, that's some bad snow, PB! Here, we're under about 8" of snow right now, with several more to come before midnight. And while those in points north of here might think "Pfah! 8" is a small springtime dusting!" you must keep in mind that this is Texas, where its rare to even find pictures of snow (magazine articles featuring vistas of the Rockies and such usually have the snow melt out of the photo down here). I've got a couple pics of the snow from work today, I'll resize them eventually and post em.
 
Have fun with it , grab a piece of cardboard find a hill and go tobagganing
