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. Quoting: hawk8414 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! 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. If you know how to use a fireplace and set the damper right, you will add tremendous heat to the house with wood. I lived for years heating with a fireplace alone - and yes, in that same area. Know what you're doing or learn. The time to prepare is when there's NO disaster or storm. Everyone got a warning with Sandy and now they're still unprepared. What a bunch of idiots. If you're well set, then kick back, enjoy your computer/TV/book or whatever, either on mains power or your backup. It's really cozy to cuddle up with your girl or cat and just snooze for the duration. Have fun! |

You've never seen snow if you think 2-3 feet will melt in a day. This, and there is ways to try and prevent frozen pipes: leave the water trickling out, so something is flowing through the pipes - moving water has less chance of freezing. Also - heat tape.

Works WONDERS! haha Also, not shoveling isn't smart. You at least need a path to your car, so that once roadways are cleared up some, you can get out if need be. Hopefully, people have stocked up on stuff and won't need to go anywhere, but what if an emergency happens? If someone has a heart attack, how can help get to you if there's 3 feet of snow in the way. Also, make sure to keep your roof shoveled off. Heavy wet snow, if left there too long, can cause roofs to cave in. "Live each day like it's your last, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one is watching."

Crazy Harriet User ID: 16501830 United States 02/08/2013 06:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's the combination of wind, flooding, and snow that make a winter N'oreaster something you'll never forget. Quoting: Crazy Harriet 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 Back Bay "I would rather take a political risk in pursuit of peace, than risk peace in pursuit of politics." - Donald Trump |

Rinty User ID: 18164113 United States 02/08/2013 06:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. 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 just stay safe!!! Thank you. Just noticed that you, the OP, are located in Portugal. This means I get my best weather info from where? Lisbon? Then this is for you..., Lisbon Antigua from Eartha Kitt [link to www.youtube.com] |

The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 22. Windy, with a north wind 23 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 55 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 15 to 21 inches possible. WINTER STORM ORKO HAS BEEN NAMED... [link to i.imwx.com] Quoting: Luisport Another interesting name Luisport. "Oko" Means "Eye" / "Gaze" in Russian. Or maybe it will become one green, orcish storm? :P If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes. |

Drain pipes can freeze as well, so letting water trickle can just add to your problems. If you guys loose power and are worried about your pipes. First open all your water valves in the house, then go into the basement and drain all the main lines. After that you can throw some antifreeze in all your sinks and shitters to fill up the traps to stop them from bursting.. that should take care of things and stop your pipes from blowing up.. good luck "Fear paints pictures of ghosts and hangs them in the gallery of ignorance."
