They also keep referring to "The No-Name Storm" which, I gather is the one called the Perfect Storm and featured in the book/movie by the same name.
I always feel bad for the storm when they call it that, it sounds like a playground taunt.
"Ha, ha! You've got no name

Apparently they named Juno, because it was 'almost a hurricane'.
How do you get a hurricane in winter in the North Atlantic? One of the key ingredients is surface water temperature at 79F or higher.

so, we had another 2 day storm, which gave us another 14 inches or so... 
This one ^ is my friend's junk car buried under there somewhere...it looks like a mountain peak
the one with the window...that top white line isn't frost, that's the actual line of where the snow ends.

I think pretty much everyone gets crazy weather in the US tbh
but yes, I'm pretty sure they get a bunch of things including big snows.

We had a massive drought a couple years ago. A couple of days ago we were prancing around without coats in 64 degree F temperatures. Right now we've got 14 inches of snow on the ground. We're actually quite happy about that. We still need the water and 14 inches doesn't slow us down that much.

I feel quite lucky that we haven't gotten some of snow totals you have.

The snow doesn't bother me, it's just that it's been so relentlessly cold, and knowing we may have 2 more months of the same it starts getting very bleak. I kept going out last night to enjoy the fact that it was 34 degrees F and some of the snow was melting.
Snowing again today btw

The thing that gets me about winter is the dark.

It was still light outside when I left work at 5! That's good enough for me
But I hear ya.

Oh dear.

I hope they run out of places to put all the snow and we have to evacuate to Georgia or somewhere

I'm now imagining closets bursting at the seams and rugs with 3ft high lumps underneath while visitors smile at you over a drink tea and pretend nothing is amiss.

They could melt it with an army of fan heaters. Hold snow totem pole and skyscraper competitions. Compact it to supply the cities' bars with ice. Employ some fly tippers. They're good at finding places to dump stuff. Or employ the cast of The Great Escape to smuggle it out of state in their trousers.

The days are noticeably longer now, though. It's a good sign.
Looking at those snow drifts makes me nostalgic.

WTF is "Ocean Enhancement" - is that a district? Flood warning? Jackpot is good though, right? That's when you win something
Yes I remember this when I was visiting NYC three years ago. I was able to get a train from Penn Station to Jersey but all the lines going NE to New England were closed. All the NE states had imposed travel bans bar one as well. Given the amount of snow dumped on the city in one night, I was mightily impressed at how NYC cleared the roads and got everything running again. But then, it's worthwhile maintaining a fleet of snow ploughs over there I guess

woops! same story different year http://www.boston.com/news/weather/...owiest-week/JW48Nw6JNJXlL0T4lX4KsM/story.html
And I know, right...winning the jackpot should be a good thing, right?
Only, I think what they mean is that the ocean will keep pushing the storm back "You shall not pass!" style, and keep adding more moisture to it, until it dumps about 2 more feet or so on us

Just as an example of how variable our weather is...
We had -16 F degrees and snow yesterday morning.
Our prediction for this weekend is sunny and 50F.
Gotta love that variable gulf stream.

It was cold and snowing in Jersey (in the Pine Barons iirc) when Chrisy Moltasanti and Pauly lost the Russian that time. They were lucky they found that old van with some ketchup and mustard because It looked cold, coupla feet of snow I think...and then Pauly lost his shoe.

we haven't had a winter like that in a few years...the whole "polar vortex" thing has just dug its heels in and stayed put. I love the snow but I would like to be able to go out and enjoy it...anyway, I know I keep repeating myself but it's just so miserable

Not that much more to go, I hope. You really have had a much worse winter than we've had. The only time we've been cold and snowy was when we caught the western edge of something you were getting much worse.

Yeh, the news said that you'd have 71.6 inches of snow since Jan 23. That's just unreal. I hope folks have their roof rakes ready.
