Got a few large branches that fell. Only looked to be 3-4" but when I scraped the sidewalk, it was HEAVY. Not like a winter snow at all.

Sun is shining now and a lot of it will melt... of course that means the roads will be wet... thinking no Ninja for me today...

Why would they be trick or treating tonight anyway? Halloween is Monday....


We do Halloween on the Friday before the 31st. The township has been doing this for some time.

I'm all for it because this way it does not occur on a school night.

We usually have candy for the kids and beers for the adults. My next door neighbor always has a bonfire afterwards. It's nice to do this on Fridays.

Heavy snow like that is never good when theres still some leaves on the trees. Hows the power lines? I was through PA and NY last month on my way to restore power to people in MA.

Ct Light & Power claims 770,000 outages.
We lost power yesterday even before most of the snow fell.
6" of heavy wet snow accumulated on our driveway and yard.
Running on generator power right now.

A little snow won't keep me from carving pumpkins.

It might keep anyone from seeing them since no one will be trick or treating tonight...

Zach


Why would they be trick or treating tonight anyway? Halloween is Monday....

And it was probably upper 70s here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)


Jeff, you ask a pertinent question. When I moved here from CA I was acquainted with the term "trick or treat night" instead of Halloween. In PA at least, they assign what nights around Oct 31 that each township will be going out and trick-or-treating. The good side is that kids can do multiple towns on different nights. The part I dont get is, why? It appears that they have removed the concept of Halloween and replaced it with only trick-or-treating. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Yep... 78 and sunny here. No snow for 300 miles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


And that snow they had to make (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Thanks Dr Evil, I was kinda confused about that. I love Halloween, my favorite sorta holiday. No Bs, just fun and candy. No spending money you don't have, no driving around anywhere.

Damn. Heavy snow on leafed out trees is a nightmare for any utility. Things are just patched back together after the hurricane.

I worked in Eastern Mass: Quincy, Milton, Norwell, Pembroke and Hanover. Beautiful area. Not one straight road, $5.99 lobster dinners and beautiful women everywhere. If it wasn't for Mother Nature handing you your a$$ every other week I'd retire out there.

Remember I'm from Wisconsin. They don't get any bigger or pastier than here.

Nah,.....no snow here on the south coast of Mass which equals no salt on the roads,... yet. Just lots of rain and wind.

Hmmm...I was just racing at Carolina Motorsports Park this weekend at the PCA Club Race. Beautiful weather.

This is why I moved South. More months to drive/race/etc...

We got power back this morning.

Pecan tree is toast. Every other limb is shattered. The 1/2 dead elm of course came through without damage. Of course the nice shade tree bought it. Me and my father in law will probably cut it down next weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

LOTS of down trees. The snow is all but melted away at this point. was a beautiful morning, but the storm f'ing sucked.

Watching Dead Snow now. Good gory fun.

We have a lot of trees down and widespread power outages in Central NJ. If this is preview of this winter we're in for one hell of a ride.
