Those skinny jeans and thrift store fedoras won't do much for you now.

Atlantans saw snow on TV. Major ATL highways are now at a standstill.

POD.

ATL highways are always at a standstill

"NWS has raised its predicted snow totals for this storm back up to 20–30” from the New York City area eastward"

30 inches in NYC. That's 2 and a half feet.

Oh, no! Send in the national guard, now!

Why? By Wednesday Juno will be an afterthought. Needing 1.5 days of food/water doesn't necessitate the run on grocery stores that inevitably occurs every storm warning. I didn't have power for 7 days during Sandy and my day-to-day life barely changed.

The snowstorm won't be forgotten in NYC until at least Friday, as we navigate through 3 feet of dirty, icy slush piled up at at the sides of the crosswalks.

Being from the Midwest, it's always more fun to see a storm go right around us and head up the east coast.

It's as if;

Can we keep the yuppie bashing/wilderness tough guy bragging on another thread? I'm generally curious to hear how this storm plays out without it turning into a bickeringfest of whether or not 14 inches of snow should shutdown a city.

Get water and food supplies now.

I thought you city folk had water delivered by highfalutin pipes or some shit .

We do. I think he's being sarcastic.

So I'm sitting in my office wondering if I should run home as usual right now. Anyone been out recently? is NYC runable?

I'm about to start my commute. Wish me luck...or don't.

You could do it but I wouldn't. There's probably a few inches already and nothing is clear of snow/slush.

Made it.

Thank you Governor Cuomo.

I witnessed two stop and frisks on the drive home through a second tier NE city. Kind of unusual - wonder what it means?

If it was deep snow is say go for it but it's too slushy. You'll be slipping and a-sliding.

you guys are WEAK. come live in Montana where blizzards and snow in excess of 15 inches is more common during winter than not. can you imagine the mayhem that would occur were there some type of man made catastrophe that prevented all you one eyebrowed guidos from getting your groceries? it would be lord of the flies mixed with escape from new York. holy wow.

Wow! I was born in the Bronx, have southern-Italian and Sicilian ancestry on dad's side and have a bushy mono-eyebrow. So I am a "one eye browed guido..." When I was an undergrad, one of my teammates suggested that I shave all the hair on my head except for the monobrow and a ring around my head at the same height as the monobrow, sort of like a severe tonsure.

Interestingly, it was about that time in my life that I had to take a field course in Wyoming and Montana. Maybe we met.

Just after 5:30 now. Don't know what it's like on LI or in the boroughs, but right now it's too warm in Manhattan (or at least in Greenwich Village) and this stuff is a sloppy mess. Dangerous footing.

MTA is now scheduled to close down at 11pm, which I hope means the subway stations will be open till 10, at least. Means that after dinner I should be able to stumble and slide my way (just a block and a half) to the W 4 subway station, and put in an hour going round and round on the second level. I just walk, though--can't run--so probably won't look *too* weird.

...Although if I read a book while walking, as I'm wont to do, people might legitimately wonder...

I bailed on the running - took the subway home. probably the right move - it was very slushy and slipppery out

for the record I ran this morning, so I still ran today

Upstate NY is giggling

The Weather Channel just amended their forecast for New York City to 8"-12" inches and we've already had 5"- 6".

In other words it's an average winter storm.
