The region REALLY doesn't need a Nor'Easter this week, on top of Sandy. Many of us were fairly lucky (power outage, but no major damage or harm to loved ones). Others weren't so lucky (at least 3 friends of mine have lost practically everything due to flooding -- most of their possessions, family photos, etc), homes lost. 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

The region REALLY doesn't need a Nor'Easter this week, on top of Sandy. The latest computer runs have been pushing the storm farther east, which would basically mean colder weather (possibly even light snow near the coast) but less winds. It's looking less menacing now.

They said on the radio here that theyre expecting some warm air from the atlantic, but that we may get some snow, ice and frost up here.

What part of Mass. are you in, SFTM? South shore, about 15 minutes south of boston...right next to braintree. I worked in funeral service for 25 years in the New York City area, but we used to do long distance "over the road" calls all the time. It was a huge national company. Anyway, I used to do a lot of business with McMaster funeral home in Braintree. If there was a death in the Boston area and the body had to go to New York, we'd call them for the "removal." Then I'd shoot up to Braintree with a hearse or a wagon to pick up the deceased. That's a nice little town. I stayed overnight a bunch of times as well.

Yea braintree isn't bad, they just opened a guitar center there which is great for me. I grew up in Brockton though most of my life.

I just heard on our local news radio station that the lines for gas out in Long Island (SC's territory) are worse than they've ever been, despite what our elected officials and the spokesweasels are saying publicly.
The station (WINS) sent a roving reporter in his car to check things out, and he found that only a fraction of the gas stations are even open because they don't have power for their pumps. Those stations that do have power have lines that are humongous and the wait is several hours, at best.
And why? Because the stations are not considered a high priority. LIPA won't even set up generators for them. People have run out of gas waiting on these lines. Fights have broken out because people jump the line.
In the NYC (five boroughs) area, I understand that there is a police officer stationed at each open gas station to keep some sort of order.
Now, with the Nor'easter headed our way tomorrow, the power companies (particularly LIPA) are predicting more outages. They say the problem isn't as much the rain as the damage done by the heavy winds.
Either way, while it may not quite be up to the level of Sandy, it doesn't look particularly good.

have they always named these winter storms? Can't say for sure when it all started - and I am too lazy to Google anything right now - but I can remember around fifty years ago Hurricane Donna slamming into us. She was one mean beee-yotch! I was living on Long Island at the time, not Brooklyn. So, naming storms must have started at least before that. Right now it's snowing in Brooklyn. Wet snow, that doesn't appear to be sticking to any of the paved surfaces (yet). It was very rainy earlier, but the changeover appears to have happened within the last hour or two. The radio reported around an hour or so ago that the wind and the gusts weren't quite as strong as had been originally predicted, but looking out my window, it's still no fun, I can assure you. I can hear the wind howling. I'm also starting to hear a lot of police and fire sirens in my neighborhood. Signor V.
