Many of us in Eastern coastal Mass. have plenty of snow on our roofs. I have about 2 feet myself.
I hope if this storm materializes that the cold will keep the snow weight down.

We are used to Noreasters, but this storm looks like the north west winds will be driving the snow, not the north east winds.
That will be different - but this has been a different winter. -Tom

This storm could be catastrophic to the Boston area. They have already received over five feet of snow over the past few weeks. They have also come up with a fancy name for this storm - Neptune.

Winter Storm Neptune.

Don't forget the below zero temperatures.

I’m in coastal Maine and we’re facing the same storm.

Six feet of snow since January 24th, and more coming.

The winter from hell continues on!

Not quite as bad here in the Capital Region but, like you, dealing with a series of storms over the past 2 weeks. Some of the neighbors have had to hire someone with a roof rake. We’re currently looking at another 5” on Saturday followed by yet another storm on Wednesday with 8 to 12” forecast.

I’m in the Boston area.

I’m in an apartment building and our roof was cleared a couple of days ago.

What a month it has been.

We're on the opposite end of the spectrum.

I’m in Upstate NY. This has been the most miserable winter I can recall in a long time.

So far all the storms have been light fluffy stuf.......this one looks to be the same although after this one some will need to get it off the roofs before the wet March crap comes or it will be creeping cracking joists.

My place is 1776 and has seen a few storms I suppose and its an old cape with a decent pitch and no gutters is a big help.Good luck

I wish they would line up all the Easterners on the shore facing west and have them all sing their praises to Barack Hussein Obama. Maybe they could blow some of that stuff back out here to the west. We need the precip.

I’m glad I live in the Middle Tennessee area where snow is a rarity, but there is a few unhappy workers at the local Amazon facility this weekend in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Some of the workers in Outbound have to work overtime the next couple of days to cover for the snow they are getting out east, not sure if they have shut down those Amazon facilities out east for a day or so but a lot of orders are being transfer to our facility in Middle Tennessee.

On the bright side, we now have no one at the top running the MBTA.

I think it will be an improvement.

So far this winter the eastern half of the Gay State (Massachusetts) has gotten over six feet of global warming.And most February and all of March are still to come.

But on the plus side algore is *still* a billionaire thanks to his scam.

Awful weather. Prayers for my New England/New York Freeper friends.

We haven't had that much snow, but the cold has been relentless. We're expecting up to -30 wind chills this weekend.

Stay safe you guys! My thoughts and prayers.

Might be a good idea to line-up a service to clear the roof snow for you B4 the storm hits! Don’t even try to do it yourself!
