Nemo- Historical NE Storm
I'm sure you've all heard about the storm Nemo. I wanted to send my prayers and see who is in the effected area and what you're doing to plan and be safe. Also a check in to let us know you're ok.
Any storm info or tips, please post.

I am on the path of this storm in one form or another. We are expected to have hurricane strength winds and 2-4 ft of snow between friday night and saturday evening.
During the storm there is a great risk of power outages and possibly low water pressure. Some are reporting that the temperatures aterwards could possibly cause issues with freezing pipes and lines but I haven't heard anything like that personally. I hope you all stay safe and warm! |

I lived in the Adirondacks during a few storms. Nothing like this. It's all pretty scary if you ask me. Thank you for checking in. Do you have provisions and prepared for power outage?

I'm in Western Mass, we're in the 'winter storm warning' zone, we're expecting 18-24" of snow between Friday and Saturday, but may be spared the 50+mph winds that come with a blizzard (and hopefully spared any power outages).
2 feet of snow is quite a lot, but it is pretty standard fare for a good Nor'Easter, and we expect a couple of those a year. Preparing for possible power outages is the only out-of-the-norm thing I've done this week: I bought more non-perishable foods than I normally would, lest I can't cook (I have a gas stove but it has an electric ignition switch). I also have an extra supply of batteries for my flashlights, plenty of candles, and blankets and towels, and pet food. Tonight I will fill up a few jugs/containers with filtered water and tomorrow afternoon I'll probably fill the bathtub with a few inches of water (just in case). My car has a full tank of petrol. I will keep my phone and laptop fully charged all day. Most school districts have already cancelled school for tomorrow (though mine has not). And I've touched based about rescheduling a doctors appointment if the snow falls as predicted.

I am about as prepared as I can be. The furnace was acting up so I got oil while I could to heat it somewhat. I have lots of candles, batteries, flashlights, an old lantern, canned goods, chocolate and gallons of water in case we lose water too. All of the extra blankets and things are in one place so I don't have to go looking for anything. It really is scary but I am staying positive that it will pass without any real damage. |

We're New Englanders. We can deal with anything.
The blessing for us is that 99% of the time, we have two or three day's notice that a storm is coming. Though that doesn't mean that people won't wait until the last minute. I wouldn't set foot near a store tonight. Once again we're kinda lucking out with the worst of the storm hitting on the weekend, and hopefully there will be minimal people on the road. Every school district here has already cancelled for tomorrow and events everywhere are cancelled. We're still going to work but we get out early every Friday anyway. People that can work from home are going to (jealous). All my disaster supplies are ready... non-perishable food, candles, water, extra firewood, flashlights, gas tank, etc. Plus movies and books from the library. I'm picturing a nice, relaxing night in front of the fireplace, reading, watching the snow fall out the window on Friday night. (I'm wishing someone was here to share in the disaster experience with me.) Then hours of shoveling hell on Saturday. My only fear is a long-term power loss (fear of frozen pipes) and that the heavy snow doesn't take down the trees that already didn't come down in any of our hurricanes or other disasters. |

Sachita, which "states" will be affected? I always worry about our peeps when severe weather occurs. I will be anxiously awaiting to hear from everyone.

I kind of have to chuckle. We here in the North deal with in climate weather all the time. We just haven't had a winter in ages. It is Normal to have this kind of weather. Is the infrastructure ready? We'll see. It is the folks who got pummeled with Sandy that are my concern. The rest of us are used to it. The news likes to hype stuff. They are naming storms that are Normal weather for ratings. Better snow than ice.

The northeast: parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, most of New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. As well as the Atlantic coast of Canada, parts of Ontario and Quebec, I imagine. Though I'm not sure how far north the storm is expected to head.

It really is a joke and more than 50% of the time, a "huge" storm ends up to be nothing here, in Buffalo. After nearly 16 years here (30 years on the Jersey Shore), I have not once lost electricity due to a winter storm. The ice storm of several years ago was an exception but even then, stores were open, no worries. Many years ago (2000?) we experienced a dump of 5' (yes, feet) in two hours. No loss of anything and I still made it to school and back home that day. Naming these storms is ridiculous and the hype is even worse. People here in Buffalo laugh at this stuff and it's business as usual. I've never gotten stuck in the snow and no, I don't have 4 wheel drive.

Blizzard warnings, high wind warnings, coastal flooding warnings here. Same prep as for a hurricane except you need more blankets for when the heat goes off and dont have to worry about the perishables in the fridge - just stick em in the snow if need be. Fun part is being able to use the winter toys while you wait for them to clean it all up. So sleds, toboggans, cross country skis, snowmobiles and the like will finally be put to use. And, it is supposed to be a heavy wet snow here. Good snowperson making snow!

I'm well prepared.
Crazy weather has just become the norm here. In the past 18 months we've gone weeks without electricity due to hurricanes and freak storms. Just last week we had a windstorm that ripped three trees out of the ground in my yard, one of which landed on my barn. I can deal with a few feet of snow and an extended power outage, but no more falling trees, please. |

If anything, because we're all stuck inside from the closed roads and heavy snow, we'll probably all just catch up on a lot of threads here. Or Facebook games.
Or I'll finally break down and clean my house. |
