People are freaking out over the storm that is about to impact the east. Here is a clip from the NYC mayors office from earlier today.
But in all seriousness… the storm could produce blizzard conditions of potentially historic proportions in parts of New England. 1 to 2 feet of snow is forecasted along the densely populated Interstate 95 corridor from the New York City area to Boston and beyond.
Blizzard warnings have now been issued from parts of southern and eastern New England, including Boston, Hartford and Providence, to the New York City metro area and Long Island.

GANDALF – which pounded Salt Lake City and the Wasatch mountains last month – really lived up to it’s name. Definitely felt like Lord of the Rings out @ Brighton.
Going to Killington and by the a few states have limited Blowers however ever
hear of a Walters or an Oshkosh they are Old Skool LARGE Plowz they still make-em and YES they have Wings
is anyone else having trouble understanding this?
Only problem may be too much snow…most of the runs aren’t steep enough to handle it…I’ll be making power 11′s all the way down…
Cue the global warming/climate change argument in 3..…2…1
departing 7am from nyc tom, fri, & hoping to get to my hotel before it gets bad.

The world is ending! Anything but S…N..O..W.. !
I thought people were hardcore on the east cost? Guess not…
Snowblower, generator, pick up truck, bc gear – some of us rightside guys are set up to handle this shit. Granted it is overkill 98% of the time. I am pumped when the west gets pounded. Snow is snow no matter where you are – just fucking enjoy it.
