Richard B the EMT Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 2012 DA14? That the meteor supposed to pass so close to the earth, it will be inside the orbit of some of the geostationary satellites? I offered to send this to Boston. Nice. National Ski Patrol must use them, or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
island emt Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well the world is still out there this AM. Snow is still coming down hard and winds are blowing @ 50 + . Looking out in the yard it appears to be between 2 & 3 feet with drifts to 7 feet high. our young lab went out to P this morning stepped off the deck and was in over her head. Power is still on and the weather guessers are saying the snow will stop by dark tonight. official total from the national weather service office as of 7 AM is 29" in the past 24 hours. Looks like blizzard conditions for at least another 12 hours and then we can start digging out. Some places will have to be done with a payloader as the drifts are house roof high.

Arctickat Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Clutzy, don't you guys have a Snocat down there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
island emt Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well the snow is finally slowing down a little. Right now everywhere is 3 feet deep with a lot of blowing and drifting. My driveway took 4 hours to remove the 4 feet with my big commercial snowblower. The road up to the main road is ass deep on a tall camel. Have put out calls to a couple folks to get a payloader to come dig it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctickat Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) I'll send you a picture of my snow thrower one day. Would do your driveway in about 1 minute, Edited February 9, 2013 by Arctickat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutzyEMT Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not yet Kat but we don't/haven't had that big of a need for one. We decided on a QRS unit instead which we have used on several occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B the EMT Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) If either the FDNY or the NYPD have a Snow-cat, I've yet to hear about it. They, and the city Parks Department, do run 6x6 "Gators" (John Deere, I think), but wheeled, not tracked. NYPD does have at least one amphibian truck, but as it's military surplus, no one will say how well it will float. My sidewalk and driveway had about a foot deep, and the senior teens making the rounds shoveled me out. Suffolk County, to my east on the "Long Island 'Fish'", as per the newscast I just saw (11 PM report) has Interstate 495, AKA the Long Island Distressway...oops, the Long Island Expressway, still closed as they attempt getting the roadway cleared of ice and snow. They're hampered by numerous cars that the drivers abandoned. The state of Connecticut has been declared a Federal Disaster Area, due to the storm. What's a "QRS"?

emtdennis Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Medford, 31 inches of the white stuff coupled with a lot of people that don't listen to Public Service Announcements. Edited February 11, 2013 by emtdennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERDoc Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Medford, 31 inches of the white stuff coupled with a lot of people that don't listen to Public Service Announcements. 25 in Middle Island looked pretty bad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
