Another Snow Dump on the Waaaay...

Sycamore Slough
Forums:
NOAA says 3" -> 7" and Wunderground claims 8" -> 12" here in central Jerseyland.
Last night's supposed 1" -> 3" was just a dusting. But this time it sounds seeerious.
I am going to move the pickup closer to the road, and tarp the cab & glass. The outdoor set of Dog bowls will relocate indoors.

West Chester PA area checking
West Chester PA area checking in, lots of heavy slush everywhere, clumps of snow cluster bombs falling from the trees, glacier like slush driveway flowing to the street.
And the best is yet to come!

The rain has turned to large
The rain has turned to large fluffy flakes, but it's not cold enough to stick.
My galoshes are Fireman boots, similar to the photo. Steel-toe, insulated, Vibram soles. They are pretty comfortable and very water-resistant.

Sounds like a heavy tree branch breaking snow. Hope not.

Snow's starting to stick now.
Snow's starting to stick now. Hüsky thinks it's still raining and having a Nap. He'll flip out when he sees the white stuff. Boy hates the Rain, but a nice blizzard is just Peachy.
I like those boots a lot. They're designed for working in burning structures with tons of water on the floor, so good traction & water-resistance. They could use a coat of "Plasti-Dip" where the sole joins the boot. Then they'd be like waders.

There's the "long stack" which is 21" + in length. That will be a bit over 1/2 cord when split.

So the Locust stacks are part
So the Locust stacks are part of what fell across the Woods road the other day. Here's a couple that fell a 1/2 mile out.
Fat Ash ^
Another one:
From the sounds of it all, I'll have more of that. I'm hearing lots of limbs cracking all afternoon. The rain into snow made for heavy, sticky branch breakers.
What was pretty Kool was the Thunder earlier... long, 30 second + rolling Thunder a couple times.
Electric service is still there, so far.

Right as I'm typing the above
Right as I'm typing the above, Big limb fell in the back yard right where Hüsky hangs out. Good thing I brought H.I.M. in earlier.
He thinks the Snow is just Awesome !! I had to lure the Animal in with Beef Jerky.
There's his Deer footy he found the other day. Coyotes must've dragged the rest of the carcass away. Boy he liked that thing !!
And, there goes the electricity.

What a total pain in the butt
What a total pain in the butt. Over a foot here in NNJ. Power went out from downed trees around dinner time last night. Woke up with the power still out and the streets not yet plowed. Some plow action just before dark tonight. Power came on and soon after the front yard and shrubs of the next store neighbor burst into flames due to a downed wire. Fire was contained approx 1 hour later and as soon as the fire dept left, the power went out again. Went out to dinner, came home and 20 mins later power came back on. For how long is anyone's guess. At least the heats back on for now.

Snow depth varied greatly all
Snow depth varied greatly all over the region. I only got 6" -> 7" but my area got wet, heavy sticky stuff that did a lot of damage. Power went out 5:30 PM Wed. and came back last night a little after 10 PM. Entire areas are still without AC not far from here.
BTW my area is between Trenton and Freehold where the map says 8.5" but I don't think we had that sort of accumulation.

Power restored 8 PM last night - end of 8th day / the beginning of the 9th night - the hot shower after 8 days no running water was really swell

Nice to hear you got the Juice back on again, MikePA.
Back during "Hurricane Sandy" aftermath I was out of Juice for 10-12 days, which was a Drag.
Currently I've still got electric water heater, and the pump for the Well is electric, like most. I still had H20 pressure for the day + I was out, but just ran a few gallons for the Hound. Pressure tank might have enough reserve for a quick shower ??
My role model was the suburban Home in a nearby municipality. They never lost Hot pressurized water... H20 tower for pressure, natural gas water heater. Stuff worked just fine
