Blowing snow and snow blowing!

They just came through with a snow blower to clear the walkways in front of our apartment.  I'm still not going outside.  The wind isn't too bad yet, but it does blow every now and then.  And it was blowing when I took this picture.



And here they are clearing the snow from our walkway.


So now that it's getting dark out, things should really get interesting.  The storm is really supposed to be picking up after 7:00 and then get worse overnight into tomorrow morning.  So we could lose power in the middle of the night...which reminds me, I need to pull the blankets out of the hope chest before we go to bed just to have them within easy reach. 

Oh, they're plowing again and we're watching some quality television.  Operation Repo on TruTV.  I know, you're flipping through your cable stations right now to find it.  I understand that we're in the middle of a major snowstorm, but why do the local stations feel the need to broadcast Storm Coverage all day long?  Does anyone seriously watch 24 straight hours of this stuff?  Isn't that what the Weather Channel is for?

Oh, and speaking of the Weather Channel, did you see that their most famous weatherman, Jim Cantori,is in Boston.  But not only that, Al Roker is there too.  That tells you Nemo is one kickass storm!

  1. You see Shelby Scott out there though you better RUN FOR COVER! That poor woman. How she always got the short stick when it came to picking someone to be the "in the field reporter" I'll never know. I did know that if she was out in the field, there was no school that day!

    Operation Repo: Falls into the category of "Train Wreck Shows". Like I train wreck, you know you shouldn't, but you can't look away! LOL

    1. Shelby retired a few years back. Channel 7 has had constant coverage since yesterday morning and they have people all over the place. I really feel bad for the ones out on the shore. Susan Tran has been up on Plum Island and they are having some serious issues up there with beach erosion and people losing their homes. There are others down on the south shore and the Cape and they are having some serious flooding issues down there too and evacuating people.
