shadowkatUpdate on Snow Armageddon Take II - or Juno (yes, they name the winter nor'easters now):
* Approximately 6-8 inches in my area. (although it is still snowing - so could be more, who knows?)
* 8 inches in Upper West Side Manhattan
* 8 inches in Queens
* 26 inches in Suffolk County Long Island - or at the tip of the island
* 20 inches in Islip and Babylon - near Fire Island
So basically the storm went East and missed dumping two feet of snow on New York City by thismuch. However, Eastern Long Island - got dumped on.
But the City effectively shut itself down. Mass Transit is coming back online on 9pm. Be Sunday Service by 12 noon. Everything is effectively closed. Except of course for the NY Stock Market. Long Island Rail Road is still offline. Long Island got stomped on, they are still under a blizzard warning out in Long Island - with white-out conditions. So glad I do not live out in Long Island. Although work will be interesting this week - since 90% of my co-workers do live out in Long Island.
And people really raided the grocery stores in Manhattan and Long Island. Nothing is left on the shelves. Particularly Bananas and apparently bread and milk.
The Governor lifted the travel ban...things should slowly be coming back on line, well except for Eastern Long Island - which gets ignored. I can't ignore it - I work with it.

You're telling me the rich folk out in the Hamptons, couldn't just buy their way out? Boy, what a gyp! ;o)

Although to be fair, most of the people who "actually" live out there and don't just "summer" out there - aren't really all that rich. They are middle class like us. Although admittedly I think they have more money than I do.
The rich folks just summer out there. Brad and Angelina are only out there in July.
