We got 30 inches in Bridgeport. I barely can open the front door to my condo as they haven't shoveled the sideway as of yet. Looks like three feet or more surrounding the car so I think I'll wait a while before digging my car free from it's space. At least they plowed the drieway. One part of CT got 42 inches of snow.

One home in Bridgeport had it's roof cave in and one man fell off of his roof trying to clear the snow off. OMG, I hope he turns out to be ok. The roads are impassable as many people are stuck on I95 so I won't be going anywhere this weekend until it's time to go to work. That's a nasty four letter word.

The storm has a captive audience as we got walloped.

We have over 2 feet of snow here in RI with 5 foot drifts and no electricity. It's 20 degrees with gusts up to 40 mph. Brrr.

I hear the wind whipping around from inside my apartment so I am in no rush to go out and be brutalized by the elements.

My daughter was mandatory evacuated from Salisbury Beach in Ma. Hopefully they'll get to go back home soon now that high tide has passed. Never lost electricity but wind was howling all night on the beach.
Ma. Govenor really made some great decisions so that roads, etc... were clear of cars and can be plowed.

Joe, after surviving the Blizzard of 2013, you really deserve to be in TV. Hope you all in the northeast can dig out soon and stay safe.

I am so glad we left last April. Having snow shoveled off the roof was the last straw for us.

It's been quite a year with Sandy, (2012), the the blizzard of 2013. I think the weather in TV will be a serious upgrade.

I dug out my car yesterday and helped my neighbior dig out her car as she is not too stable on her feet. I feel some backache today but I' m glad I got that out of the way. Suppose to rain tomorrow so maybe some of the snow will wash away. More snow coming on Wednesday but it doesn't look like it will be much. It was real cold last night especially with the wind whipping around so I stayed home and read a book, (was not on TOTV much of yesterday).

I think someone told me yesterday the condo will have trucks here today to remove the snow as there is too much to push it into a corner. The next town over got 35 inches and one town in CT, got 42 inches. The roads are not in good shape and it is recommended everyone stay off of them until the plows can work their magic. One plow got stuck four times yesterday. I saw a line of cars on I95 that were stuck and or waiting for it to clear up.

I guess some people had to get somwehere but it was prudent to stay home and be safe. Some cars were left stranded.

Oh Well, tomorrow is another day and hopefully, the roads won't be treacherous.

Check out picture 19. It was exactly like the cars in my condo lot.
