I think the local weather forecasters underestimated the snow - at least, here in Brooklyn. Yesterday, they were saying the whole NYC area would get "a coating to an inch," and that the snow would mostly stick on unpaved surfaces. It looks like a bit more than that from my window. And it's sticking to the roads, sidewalks, cars, etc. A little while ago, the wind was so strong that the snow was blowing horizontally.

They're saying that within a couple of days,the temperature here will be in the high 50's. Well, that's good; at least all the snow and slush should melt.

Are you guys going through a nor easter or what? I haven't been watching a whole lot of tv lately. I sure am sorry. The weather is so weird makes me wonder what winter will be like?

It's an old expression referring to (mostly) winter storms coming up the east coast and the winds blowing from the northeast (thus a "nor'easter").

The weather has been totally whacky here. A MAJOR hurricane, then a good-sized nor'easter with snow and this weekend will be unseasonably warm with temperatures in the 60s. All within a two-week span. eek

We've got maybe an inch or so of the white stuff, but the rest of it is all snow and ice and slush...still doesn't stop me from walking to dunks for my morning coffee.

2 inches of snow yesterday. 33 degrees this morning. 67 on Monday. Go figger.

For you Westerners, here is what a New Jersey Nor'easter looks like. I took this video a few years ago.

About 4 inches of snow in the East Bronx early this morning. Most of it is gone already. But just seeing it still sucked ohwell.

I got 8 inches. And not the good kind either. Power came on for a minute. Power went away. I'm losing my mind. Did I mention?

Oh, Carmela, I'm so sorry. I'm pretty sure Geoff's in the same boat.

Carmela, I'm really sorry to hear that.

At this point, I'm not exactly sure what Geoff's situation is (with the Nor'easter adding insult to the earlier injury), but I'm sure if he's got power, he'll let us know how things are in his area.

But, the one thing I've noticed: Before the hurricane, I was never particularly a fan of Governor Christie, for a variety of reasons. Chief among them, was his Sonny Corleone-like temper and constantly confrontational attitude. However, I've now gained a new respect for him as a leader. Christie is an intelligent, shrewd fellow. He's been out there, front and center on a daily basis, and I think he's doing a far better job than NY's Governor Cuomo, who seems to come off as a near non-entity, at best. What I'm trying to say is that I have more faith in your governor than ours. But, I know that may be cold comfort to you, your family, and the thousands of others in NJ right about now who are without power.

Hopefully, things will get better within the next day or so - and the weather is supposed to be quite warm in the next couple of days, so that should help the utility crews immensely.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you, and everyone else.

Geoff is without power (again). He got it back but the weight of the snow was too much for the lines in his area and he lost electricity again. I'm sure he'll tell ya the story when he gets back but he had a harrowing experience with one of the trees on his property.

I feel terribly for carmela. It's approaching two weeks for her! uhwhat

I heard from an old friend from the old neighborhood. My former co-op in Sheepshead Bay got hit hard. One of the four buildings (the one in which Larry David grew up) had its basement flooded (many storage bins containing tenants' belongings were completely underwater plus about 75 cars were totally lost). I'm sure pizzaboy knows the area, but for those who don't, there's a parkway right across the street (the Belt Parkway) which is elevated and acts like a dam but the water came through a section cut out for Nostrand Avenue.

Unbelievable!!!

You know I know that area well, SC.

During my IJ Morris years, we did more Temple calls out of Sheepshead Bay than just about any other part of Brooklyn.

Not sure if you're familiar with Congregation Beth Shalom of Kings on Avenue X and 27th Street?

That place was always doing lots of charity work for natural disasters and such outside of New York. I only hope that people are returning the favor in their time of need (although to be honest, I'm not sure how hard that block was hit).

I dunno, Dap. We got hit pretty good in Throggs Neck (although nothing like our poor friends in Jersey). But I guess I have to remember that you're in the West Bronx, I'm in the East Bronx. And as you know, I'm right on the water. I'm technically closer to Queens than I am to Yankee Stadium. So we felt some of what Long Island felt.

I know it very well, pb.

I've seen some vids of the damage to Sheepshead Bay on YouTube and I know a lot of trees were lost in that area (the East 27th and X area) but it apparently had no flood damage.

A lot of Long Islanders are now getting REALLY angry at having no power. They're getting increasingly almost violent against LIPA and local politicians are calling for the federal government to step in and take over the recovery process from the utility.

He is, but what really bothers me about him is the way he talks. He sounds like he has marbles in his mouth.

Obama promised us that there'd be little red tape to deal with the government during the recovery period. Let's see if he keeps his promise.
