I lived in NYC for 15 years and the panic over hurricanes and blizzards that amounted to nothing 9 times out of 10 was so annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2040198 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 10:14:38 +0000 jedeve 2040198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Enjoy!! We are going to be in the fifties here today. :silly: </p> <p>If anyone wants some good book recommendations to read do couped up kiddos, check out Blizzard. It's adorable. And apropos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2040121 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 09:19:02 +0000 looch 2040121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate snow days, i really do. It's really challenging to have to work from home with a child, not being able to get out of the house, the clean up, the 15 foot dirty snowbanks, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2040022 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 07:11:04 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2040022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am already soooo tired of hearing about the storm on the news. They're making it seem like the apocalypse. I'm from upstate New York where it snows A LOT and everyone always goes all crazy when it snows in NYC.</p> <p>When it was the last big storm, the "snowpocalypse" a few years ago, we spent it in the bar!! I guess this year we'll spend it inside with the little one and I'm sure everything will be back to normal by wednesday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2040019 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 07:06:41 +0000 hellobeeboston 2040019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: same! First really big snowstorm in our house!! We got a snowblower in the fall that DH has been itching to use so it looks like he will get to! And I'm def working from home. Yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039976 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 00:53:46 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2039976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to love blizzards. They can be such fun but I am very happy not to deal with this whilst pregnant with a toddler.</p> <p>@pinkcupcake: that's odd that Washington is supposed to be wet because we are not seeing any rain, just sunshine and temps in the 50s and 60s here in Oregon. It's been beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039965 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 00:13:35 +0000 katsupgirl 2039965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So looking forward to it! :grin:<br /> :heart: snow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039950 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 23:29:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 2039950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh, we'll see. The weathermen have quite a habit of having at least one "storm of the century!!!" every winter, and it never really pans out as such. So, we'll see...but I'm also kind of excited like I always am. We're also expected to get another 8-12" additional inches next Friday so all together could be pretty epic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039945 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 23:23:25 +0000 BSB 2039945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: yup, I'm in Seattle and I'm missing the snow we used to get when I lived in PA. Though, I am very happy if it doesn't snow here in Seattle ever again. So yes to snow when I'm home but no to snow here in Seattle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039907 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 22:21:22 +0000 MrsKoala 2039907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I doubt it. I don't think it will top the storm of 2006 for NYC and we had a 3 foot blizzard in 2013. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039875 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 21:47:05 +0000 pinkcupcake 2039875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Call me crazy, but this is when I miss living in NY so much! I love blizzards ( so long as the power doesn't go out!). Love that cozy feeling :)</p> <p>So jealous of all you East Coast ppl. It's probably just gonna wet &amp; yucky again all week, here in the Pacific NW :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039872 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 21:44:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 2039872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm psyched but nervous! It's our first winter and first big storm in the new house. We've been dragging our feet buying our generator and we finally ordered it but it won't be here in time for the storm. Fingers crossed we don't lose power! As long as we don't lose power I will be nothing but psyched. As long as I can get to work to pick up my laptop tomorrow, both Wagon Sr. and I will probably work from home and daycare will most likely close. We have stocked up on supplies and we're ready to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039862 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 21:33:46 +0000 Mama Bird 2039862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very excited about showing DS what a real snow day looks like! We haven't had one since last winter, and he didn't really get it.</p> <p>Don't know what to do about work though... I can work from home, but it's slow. I'll likely end up home on Tuesday if transit is bad, so I'm torn about also staying home Monday, or getting something done at the office and then having a three-hour trip back. Wish I knew when the commute will really get bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039853 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 21:24:27 +0000 Smurfette 2039853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super DH is flying out to NYC tomorrow and then has to fly out Wed morning to FL before coming home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039851 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 21:22:26 +0000 regberadaisy 2039851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: :( know anyone with a gas fireplace and/or generator? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039848 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 21:18:37 +0000 PinkElephant 2039848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm nervous but excited. We've just moved back from a tropical climate and I haven't seen more than a few inches of snow outside of a ski resort in years! </p> <p>We are well stocked and ready but I'm hoping to grab a few more batteries and flashlights tomorrow AM. Hopefully the stores arent totally cleaned out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039843 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 21:15:56 +0000 raintreebee 2039843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: I am freaking out about this too. I have a huge, immobile deadline this week, and I am so afraid my nanny won't be able to get here. How do I work with a one year old underfoot??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039832 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 21:06:37 +0000 Charm54 2039832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's coming to us Tues/Weds. We often get 60cm snowstorms, but this looks like it might be more! Will have to wait and see. I'll pick up some snacks and maybe a new toy for DD tomorrow in case we are storm stuck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039825 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 20:59:34 +0000 mrs. bird 2039825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: :( can he get a backup generator for you guys in case the power goes out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039824 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 20:59:14 +0000 mrsjazz 2039824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm excited about a snow day. We'll see how my boss handles this, I don't really like working for someone from Alaska :)</p> <p>I have to leave work early tomorrow so our nanny can travel home safely. And I need to stock up on wine. I just wonder if Tuesday is going to be a snow day and we're going to get as much snow as they're forecasting, what about Wednesday, too??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039821 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 20:56:01 +0000 sorrycharlie 2039821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm dreading this!! DH is insisting on going to work an hour away (hoping they close his stupid office) &amp; I'm so nervous to lose power and heat with a toddler and a newborn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039818 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 20:54:53 +0000 catlady 2039818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are supposed to get somewhere in the 2 foot range I am really not looking forward to it. I'm expected to work from home during these types of storms, plus LO's daycare will definitely be cancelled, so no fun here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/winter-storm-juno-potentially-one-of-the-biggest-snowstorms-in-ne-history#post-2039808 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 20:47:45 +0000 yellowbird 2039808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we were getting more than they predicted for our area.

The snowfall will probably be heaviest Monday night into Tuesday morning, he said, adding that “easily as much as two feet” and maybe as many as three feet of snow could fall by the time the storm is over. &gt;&gt;</p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/26/nyregion/de-blasio-urges-new-yorkers-to-prepare-for-powerful-snowstorm.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/26/nyregion/de-blasio-urges-new-yorkers-to-prepare-for-powerful-snowstorm.html</a></p> <p>All after-school programs have been canceled tomorrow, and everyone is saying that Tuesday will probably be a snow day! </p>
