Re: 967 mb Major Nor'easter!!! HISTORIC BLIZZARD!!! 4 deaths...

Highest impact given:

14 Widespread flooding of coastal areas along the south shore from Cohasset to Plymouth is expected. Large swells breaking on the coastline may produce structural damage to roads and homes near the time of high tide. Evacuations and road closures may be required.Significant beach erosion is also expected.

 Quoting: Luisport


This is not good. Other note from OP said voluntary evacuations from Cape Cod Bay and Nantucket. Not Vineyard.
Vineyard high, Nantucket a sand bar. Evacs from inside Bay as opposed to South Shore of Cape Cod shows that with tides and surge they tend to swish up in unprotected Bays. I am on Penobscot Bay. I am about 15 feet over high tide mark about 100 meters from Bay.
Wow.

Again, thanks, OP

Stop It. Unless you live in the area. This is a serious storm.

People are stupid and think they can make it and go places cause they are beyond it all.

He is protecting people from themselves and all the emergency response people so they can take care of real issues instead of help som fucking idiot thats wearing a tee shirt and flip flops who's stuck in the blizzard freezing to death.

Exactly. Last travel ban in Mass was 1978. They don't just ban travel here and there. This is serious

It's really coming down on Long Island especially on the North Shore. Very slippery all over about 1 hr ago and wind already picking up. 3,000 LIPA customers already without power and the bulk of the storm is really not yet here.

Hey you stupid fucks up there! This time get your shit prepared! have some extra gas, food water, batteries, flashlights, blankets, and etc... Make sure you have all your prescriptions up to date,too.
Prep those generators. Stop being ignorant and learn to fend for yourselves. DUH!
Get firewood,too! for your fireplaces, not those shitty fire logs. Those things have mold and mildew spores in them. They're made out of candle wax, sawdust, used coffee grounds, and molasses. They recycle the old logs and grind them up to make new stuff. You're breathing all that mold and mildew into your lungs.

Be smart, take care of yourself, fuck the city govt. Look out for yourselves dumbasses!
 Quoting: hawk8414


Newsflash: a fire in your fireplace is not going to do squat shit to warm your house. It will, in fact, suck heat OUT of your house.

Furthermore there is little you can do to prevent your pipes from freezing in a situation like this. So you just suck it up, butter cup. Don't break your back shoveling either, temps are back in the 40s by monday and it will all melt by tuesday.

My prescription: a giant "chill pill" for everyone. My main worry is just the wind damage to structures that may occur. The cold and snow are really non-issues as they'll be gone in a few days.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33761641


You've never seen snow if you think 2-3 feet will melt in a day.

It's the combination of wind, flooding, and snow that make a winter N'oreaster something you'll never forget.

I fondly remember the great N'oreaster of 1978 in Boston. The little mom n pop on Massachusetts Avenue selling its last edibles in the dark, writing up the tabs by hand. Empty shelves. Cross-country skiiers enjoying the roads, including the interstate. Neighbors we'd never seen before yelling out their open window, inviting one and all to a beer party.

A young family unable to get home because of the flooding on their street, finding shelter with friends.

Afterwards, it took about 3 weeks before the plumbing could be repaired, with everyone's freezing up at the same time, the power having been out so long. It was a nightmare, that.

If this is a really big one, this weekend will be long remembered.

aww, lived in Boston for 20 years ... very familiar with Mass Ave .. what section?

and yes, I agree that it's the combination of wind, flooding and snow .... with Sandy, it was all wind .. barely any rain .. when we came outside of our house the next morning, the leaves looked like they went through a blender ... totally pulverized
