sail7seas Posted January 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2015 MEMA (Massachusetts Emergency Agency) is warning we are to be blasted with an historic snow storm. There will be hurricane force winds and possibly as much as 24 - 36" of snow. My reason for this thread is in response to recent comments about sailing from Boston or NYC in the winter. We were musing about sailing to Bermuda and Caribbean. Good thing there will be no HAL ships tied up at the cruise terminal during this storm. It is expected in our area about mid afternoon and to snow through Tuesday. Wish us luck. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted January 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2015 That storm is expected here tomorrow too. Expectations of from 1 to 3 FEET of snow. I wish all in this storm's way to be safe and stay warm. Stay safe, Judy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruz chic Posted January 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Oh boy. I do wish you luck! One of my friends lives in Long Island, NY. She said they are supposed to get hammered too. I had no idea it would hit Boston too. Coming from the snow belt I know how much a pain this is. That said, we rarely get a dump that large.

Rare Vict0riann Posted January 26, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Evidently hundreds of flights have already been cancelled. Hope cruisers don't miss out because they can't fly! Hope everything goes well for all those affected by the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamOp Posted January 26, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The NWS has changed its accumulation forecast from 20-30 inches down to 18-24 inches for Connecticut. But anything over a foot will have about the same effect no matter what the final amount is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumperII Posted January 26, 2015 #14 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Here, just outside Philadelphia, it is time for a good book, hot chocolate and a rocking chair by the fireplace! After losing power for a week last year, we installed an emergency generator. (about the price of a cruise). We will be thinking of you all.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_77 Posted January 26, 2015 #17 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Good luck to everyone in the storm's path. Hopefully you've got yourselves all stocked up with emergency supplies in case the power goes out; we don't want anyone running out of food or freezing! Ruth - do you have enough kitty food for that new little furball? Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted January 26, 2015 #18 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Ruth - do you have enough kitty food for that new little furball? Good thinking, Ger! I'm very low on dry food, but just stocked up on canned. Shadow won't mind that a bit! Thanks for thinking of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted January 26, 2015 #19 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The NWS has changed its accumulation forecast from 20-30 inches down to 18-24 inches for Connecticut.
