... Blizzard conditions with bands of very heavy snow through early afternoon... At 11 am... bands of heavy snow have developed over portions of central and northern New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania late this morning. This includes the I-78 and I-80 corridor. Snowfall rates of 2 to locally 4 inches per hour are possible underneath this band. The combinations of the heavy snow and strong winds will produce whiteout conditions with visibilities near zero. Travel will be very dangerous to near impossible as snow accumulates faster than plows can keep up with. Lat...

When I let the gang out of the coop this morning:
The pen covered in plastic:
Snow piling up on one of the windows:
The wind is howling - will venture out later and take a video
A small woodpecker on the feeder:
The wind let up for a minute, so I went out to check on the gang and give them a treat. Some snow is getting through the plastic, but most of the pen was dry.
Sorry it's blurry, but the camera does not like the cold!
Just gotta have a pic of the thermometer!
The snow is drifting all the time - don't know what the actual total will be:
Both waterers were frozen. Good thing I have a few more of them!
The snow plow just went down the road again:
Taken a few minutes ago:
Snow is really coming down hard!
Oops! Realized I should have noted the time on the above ones.... :o(
Around 4PM I went out to change their water again and give them a big treat of corn muffin crumbs, cat food, string beans and celery:
Hubby cleaning the driveway:
Might take him a while!
Around 5pm when I put the gang in for the night:
That's it for today from Coopville! Tomorrow is clean-up!

...Bands of heavy snow moving southward across the mid Atlantic states this evening... The combination of short periods of heavy snow, visibility occasionally one quarter to one half mile and temperatures generally in the 20s will make all roads icy and treacherous early this evening. But an end is in sight! Much drier air is arriving on the northwest flank of this Nor'easter and will end the snow from northwest to southeast late this evening.
:o)

Stay safe, warm & dry.
ReplyDeleteWill do, Rev. Paul - Should end by morning!
DeleteBAH! HUMBUG!
ReplyDeleteBut it's so pretty...... :o)
DeleteWhat Rev. Paul said. Let us know that you are OK.
ReplyDeleteWe're fine, Vicky - Plenty of food, wine, books and a wonderful fireplace!
DeleteWe're getting hammered again here in North Central WA State too.
ReplyDeleteI see the storm on the radar map, Barbar Cat - 'hope you are all warm and cozy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, we have been trying to watch your area all day. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteSame here. She should have signed it "your friends from Florida"
DeleteBwahahahaha
The darn storm was stronger than they thought it would be - the radio just said it should only last or another 8 hours or so.
DeleteLOL! At least we don't have alligators! :o)
DeleteThanks God for snow plows and the good men and women that drive them in weather like this. Keep cozy, Chickenmom. Jennifer is making glazed winter vegetables: Parsnips, rutabagas, carrots and sweet potatoes. Come on over at about six this evening and share some with us!
ReplyDeleteThe road crews are doing a good job here - must have been down our road at least 7 times! Take a pic of the veggies. I made corn muffins with raisins. I'd send you a pic, but we ate ALL of them! LOL!
DeleteFinally a decent forecast. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteChilled to the bones, but the wine is helping! :o)
