So this storm delayed the flight of a new guy checking in tonight. I'm still at work. Sometimes I wish I got paid overtime.

Thanks! (in your face Josh!). Rhose Island to Cape Cod just got updated to Blizzard Watches...I'm sure they'll be Blizzard Warnings tomorrow. 8-12" of snow, 35mph winds, gusts to 50mph.

Good luck all you SE Mass people.

@Josh and the camera thing: That's the thing, I've always wanted to get into photography and I'm finally in the position to get into it and I figured I might as well dive in head first since I've got the extra cash flow at the moment.

...besides...if I don't get it then your pictures will always look better than mine (wiggle)

We may get up to 15 inches of snow here.

I blame you and you alone for this.

Drove into Boston to pickup my youngest daughter. Traffic on Route 3 south and 95 north was a bear. a 50 min ride turned into an hour and a half. Happy they are all home.

Good morning everyone. Stay safe during the storm.

Too bad about Saab. I like their current wagons and the old 9000.

Nice pics Josh. Looks like the new camera has taken a hold of you.

I haven't received a single snowflake here. Tauto fails at forecasting!

Didn't end up going to the city this morning and I'm pissed. There's been no snow whatsoever here and I'm wondering if NYC has gotten any. At least I got a lot done this morning.... Oh by the way, I pity anyone who went grocery shopping or shopping in general today. We wanted to go to Stop & Shop but the parking lot was FULL and had overflowed into the other parking lots near it. I just wanted to take returns back! I'm leaving it for another day or for whenenver this "storm" comes. AWD FTW. I also washes the MS at a car wash.. Iced over immediately, lol. At least it's cleaner so I won't be scratching the heck out of it when brushing snow off.. and it looks closer to black now, lol.

Inspected the P5... front snow tires are down to 8.5/32nds after about 3K miles, rears are at 10/32nds... so that's a lot of f'ing wear for 3K miles. I really ought to stop driving the way I do now. Rotated the tires in time for the snow storm.

Turns out the clicking is not from my CV joints, but from my rear wheel bearings! The right rear is the loudest and has a fair amount of play, the left rear has a little play and makes less noise. Much better than front CV joints. Those are still rocking.

The rears are easy to change.

Oh look...... It's snowing!

 

[/RX-8Chick]

Hahaha JUST started here too!

 

[Astral]

Damn, just got home and not a single snowflake! What is this sheeeit!

I got a cold fo sho, so trying not to go out and drink too much.

The plan for tomorrow morning is a trek to the local breakfast joint, 4 blocks away, in snow pants! Should be fun

The rears are easy to change.

I have to get the hub + bearing assembly, right? About $100 a side?

 

[/RX-8Chick]

I think we miiiight have gotten 4 inches here...

 

[NETC_Redd]

[genericuser]

16 inches of snow and still falling.

Dog = 9 inches tall.

[Fireglow6]

About 6 inches of snow in Billerica! Get home in Townsend.....NO EFFING SNOW!!!

 

[NETC_Redd]

[genericuser]

I guess. I don't remember paying that much, but then that was 3 years ago.

Didn't get much in Nashua, just a dusting so far. They say 1-3 inches.

Only about 6-8" in Millis right now. Amanda wants to go to church (she sings in the chorus now) so I may be doing some 4-wheel slides in the snow to make sure she is on time.
