Beware New England :)

[JM 35 Sedan]

Better get those snow tires and chains mounted on your early Ford's, plus plenty of milk, bread and paper products . Looks like a couple bad storms coming together up there. Take care!

[flatjack9]

We're getting nailed in Oshkosh right now.

[Barry-ct]

THey're saying a foot or more, we will see what we get here in central Conn. Worst time for me, I have to go get an adoption puppy coming in from Tenn on Saturday. Hopefully, the roads will be decent. If not, I've got my 4x4 to get me there!

[ken ct]

Yea right,how many guys are going to put chains on their classic fords to drive around in the snow and salted roads.LOL ken ct. Most of them wont even go out with it if theres a couple of rain clouds in the sky,haha

[Clem Clement]

I ws stationed at Hanscom Field for the 78 blizzard. The boss kept us at work until the roads were almost closed. We were off a week. I was caught at home with several cases of beer a cord of wood, a model A engine to rebuild and a train collection to clean. It all came out even inthe end. My Sandy was caught on 128 for several hours.

I'm in central lower Michigan and there have been snow advisories on TV & radio all morning.

I went out & got some extra gas for the plow & blowers - it spiked up 13cents a gallon since yesterday!

Snow is predicted to start around here sometime late tonight. I'm on 4 day work-weeks so won't have to deal with driving anyplace on Friday!

[Ken Arms]

Im Ready!

[Vic Piano]

It's sunny and 79 degrees here in Tampa, no snow in sight, unless the cable TV goes out... Seriously, I hope everyone in the North East is ok.

Ken, that statement was made with tongue in cheek knowing how some of us baby these old Fords . We have a difficult time getting some folks to get their cars out in nice weather and join in on these tours we do. To be honest, I don't care to take my cars out in any winter mess with all the salt on these roads. I did start mine and pull it out of the garage for a couple hours this morning while moving some things around in the garage, but she's back in now, safe and sound . Old Henry is the only Fordbarner that I'm aware of, who has no problem driving his old Ford with snow and salt on the roads.

[ken ct]

Your right there John. ken ct.

[41ford1]

Nice and sunny right now. Balmy 26°. A snow storm in the North East, go figure. LOL. I recall more frequent large storms in the '60s with less hype than now.

[Fordestes]

I must commend the folks up north , the hiway dept. does know how to take care of the roads, after driving from northern Maine to Donners pass calif , and living in okla , I can honestly say this place don't know what bad weather is, and a majority of the people don't know how to drive in some of the snow and ice we occasionally get here , I call them Brake dancers , they seem to like to hit the brakes at the least sign of ice .
my son totalled out my truck due to some genious hitting the brakes when approaching an icy bridge, also I once was stopped by the side of the road in Wisc. reading a map and a snow plow operator stopped to check on my safety, I cant say that for the hiway dept down here, I learned after years of driving an old car to pack plenty of blankets water and food, just in case foul weather creeps in , the weather changes so rapidly .
here in the sooner state, as cousin will Rogers said ( if you dont like the weather in okla. wait around a few minutes it will change!) I wish you all the a safe commute during the bad snow storms , I totally understand what you are dealing with.
cheers ,
fordestes

[Ghost of elmirage]

It's just gonna be a dustindI sure. Nothing to worry about here lol

[oldford2]

Ken
When was the last time you had your 36 out in the rain? LOL
John

[trulyvintage]

People ignored the warnings about Sandy - some of them died.

This could be one of the worst blizzards in history.

New York was just issued a blizzard warning.

Don't absolutely need to be out ?

Stay safe - stay home

I didn't think they salted the roads in Connecticut? Of course that was probably in the 70;s

[jim1932]

Back in the day They didn't go out to get milk bread and toilet paper.... they had plenty of newspapers and tied a rope between the barn and the house so they could milk the cow and the outhouse and the house.....and it dook a while to get though a 10 lb bag of flour

[robert dick]

Hey Clem Clement
I was at Hanscom during the blizzard also bldg 1724 Jenny Beechcraft !

I'm sure New England's weatherman Biff Buffington will give us updates on the hour, every hour.

Oooh snap, the local hannaford is out of charmin and poland spring she's almost dry from people buyin up all that bottled water.

[raceron1120]

These probably won't qualify as blizzard photos, but I did take these yesterday. Mine is a "winter vehicle".

[Paul/Woodinville]

Now that is one cool vehicle. Here in Washington state you wouldn't be able to drive your old fords if you didn't drive in the rain.

[ford38v8]

I could never figure out why folks just keep takin' that kind of punishment year after year.

It sprinkled a lttle bit today, but I do need to turn on the automatic sprinklers again or the lawn will die. And.. it's almost time to fire up the solar panels for the pool.

I know, you guys wouldn't live in earthquake country either, would you?

You guys reminisce about your perfect storms, out here we tell where we were when the Northridge 'quake rumbled through.

Started serious snowing here in central Conn. In 78 we had to walk everywhere for 2 days, State treated the roads yesterday but its a losing battle. Its time to duck and cover. Pete/Ct

[Cecil/WV]

love the Ford tractor snow plow NAA? or 600?

The hood emblem looks like it is an NAA-Golden Jubilee!

[BILL WZOREK]

Started snow here @ 9:41 am

[Vic Piano]

That "A" Track Vehicle is Very COOL... Almost makes me want to come up and play in the snow...

[BERNIE G]

Some of the conversations here remind me of a time back when...
Me and a good friend decided we would fly to the Carolinas. Took a tool box as part of our luggage. We split the cash that we were takeing between us. We each put an even layer of bills in our shoes and went south to bring back a rust free something. Rented a car and went crusin, following one lead to another. Finally bought a 66 F 150 ( short Box custom paint,429 transplant) that we passed many times going to and from our Motel. We thought it looked too good to fit our budget. Ya never know less ya ask! Then with one day still left, we searched some local auto for sale magazines. Called on a Sunday morning, and bought a 65 F-150(long box 6 cyl). We headed home with our prize purchases. On had a noisy Alternator, so we stopped and boucht one at a Junkyard, just in case. Don't ya know, the other alternator crapped out instead. Somewhere in PA towards evening we put up for the night. They were predicting a SNOW STORM. Next morning, sure enough, a few inches of snow had fallen. Well lets have Breakfast and give time for the plows to clean up. Finally couldn't wait any longer. We hit the highway,and pulled on right behind the plow truck. Perfect timing!! Only, he wasn't plowing the 3 or 4 inches of snow. He was dumping PURE SALT down the center of the highway.OMG!!! Finally had to pass him. We had no weight, no snow tires, and a bundle of nerves. <So much for buying nice rust free trucks>. We were sick about it at the time.. Now we look back and laugh like -ell: Those memories are Priceless these days.. I'm sure lots of you have similar memories.. Enjoy.." THIS AIN't PRACTICE, THIS IS IT"

[alan]

Cecil 53 was the only Jubilee, 54 (same tractor with a different front badge) was a NAA

[Ken Arms]

Tractor is a 1953 Golden Jubilee, I love it too! Ken

[JM 35 Sedan]

Ken, I need to borrow that front blade setup for my Ford 8N just in case we get some snow here

[Barry-ct]

I remember the Blizzard of 78 very well. I had a Ford F-250 4x4 with a plow and I helped transport nurses to and from area hospitals. I had to go get my future wife at the Travelers insurance building, as they didn't let them go early enough. THe busses were stuck everywhere!
It's 2 pm and we have 2 inches out there,it's heavy as we were getting some rain mixed in right now.

[BERNIE G]

About 2 inche here in Southern Maine i'd say. Light and fluffy so far. Hang in there.

Bernie

[BERNIE G]

Barry, is you f-1 together, or are you in progress. Let me rephrase that, they are most always in progress. Is it done? I have a few parts; never know.

[FL&WVMIKE]

SORRY, but I just got back from my water aerobics class, in an OUTDOOR pool. They had heated the water to 82*. I even got a little sunburn on my face.
We have a V8 Club Meeting tomorrow, so it looks like a good day to skin the top back and go for a drive.
DAMN, I love Florida !

It's just some snow. The media wud have you think the world was ending!!

maybe 2 inches here in the land of the Pilgrims . I built a " Who did it an ran " shed for my 39 . I,ll be up tonight ,tryin to shovel off the semi-flat roof.. you know ,,,when a mason tries an do carpentry work ! LOOK OUT Biff Buffinton has got nothing on me !

[3738]

I guess a "historic blizzard" is all relative to where you live. I grew up at Lake Tahoe in California. Waking up to find it had snowed 3 or 4 feet during the night would be a non-event, nothing out of the ordinary....

[Barry-ct]

Most people are used to 6 inch storms around here ( So. N.E. ) and panic at the hint of snow. It doesn't help with the news stations hyping up the storm. As I always say..... Must be a slow day for news. I remember storms in the 60's and early 70's where a foot was normal and you adjusted. Now the world is all hype and drama. And as for you people in Fla and other southern areas, I'd rather deal with snow than your humidity and hurricanes. heh heh heh!!

[41ford1]

Wow! It's snowing in the North East in February. If you listen to the media you'd think the world was ending. Yes the coastal areas could have some problems with tidal surges and high wind. People need to use some common sense. Stay off the roads and seek higher ground if neccessary. Let this thing pass.

[Ol' Ron]

Got 4" so far.

[Ford46]

Probably have around 8 inches and the brunt of the storm still to come. Wind is picking up, 45 tp 50 MPH gusts, you can hear the tree limbs cracking and breaking already. Here the snow is very wet and heavy, a real pain to shovel or push. Forecast is for another 12 to 14 hours of heavy snow, we are getting about 3 inches an hour right now. Going to run out of places to put it soon. Oh well, another day in beautiful New England, I wouldn't trade it for Florida.....no way!....LouB.

Darn tootin'! Here are pictures and videos of today's trip.
Today I found time to do my monthly run up the canyon to Wallsburg to pick up dad who bought Old Henry in 1959 and take him to Heber City for lunch. I do it rain or shine, snow, sleet, or hail. Also got to try out my new fog lamps to see if the 55 watt halogen bulbs would heat the lens enough to keep the snow and ice from covering them. Looks like they worked just great.

After we got back to Dad's.


Dad at 87 years old and still going strong.


Dad's double wide prefab house in Wallsburg. Heats it with wood burning stove all winter.


Here's a one minute video of some of the trip if you're interested:

How much snow did the rest of you get and where??

In the 70's when I lived in Cleveland a friend and I went out late at night in a snow storm in his stock "T" Roadster. The snow was 10" deep or better. We were out for hours, smokin cigarettes and drinking a few beers. We were the only ones' out on the roads, after a while we started to run into police and plows. All THUMBS UP, no trouble. The tall thin T tires just sliced through the snow. It was a great once in a lifetime experience.

[Bruce/CT]

Vic,
Just wait until the next Florida hurricane.
Milford, CT got the highest that I know of, 38 inches!! WOW. My daughter lives there and hasn't started shoveling out as it is still pretty windy
Bruce/CT

[Pete/Ct.]

Got 25 inches in Kensington Ct with drifts of over 4 feet, took all day with 4 other family members to dig cars out, nowhere to put snow. Plows went by last ninght at 8:30 PM haven't been back since so we aren't going anywhere for a while. Pete/Ct.

[41ford1]

Got about 21" - 22" here. The wind is the problem. It made 4' drifts at the back door and deck. John is right. Go easy on the snow removal. I'm think'n a bunch of us up here should get together and send Vic a little present. Like a couple of 40' refer boxes full of snow and have them dumped in front of the play house. Yuk yuk.

I know it isn't but it looks like the old A&P market I used to work in at Warren Ma. in the early 50's. Store front looked the same. Drove my 49 Ford tudor to work every day and parked it across the street so I could keep an eye on it. Thanks for the memories.

[toms32]

Got well over 2 feet here. Also got a photo from one of my brothers in florida with the sun glasses on sitting on the deck near the pool. Somewhat concerned about possible rain tomorow on top of all the current snow on my roof. Pray for Spring

[ken ct]

I got 4' in front of the house and 5' drifts in some places. Neither vehicles can move without getting the driveway plowed out.Drive is 75' long.And my truck is 4W drive i dont dare try. I got to shovel a path to get to it anyway. what a mess. ken ct.

Quit your crying, Ken, you've talked, for years, about moving down south. Get off your butt and come on down.
MIKE

[2ndgeer]

Ken,
I grew up in Stratford..left 50 years ago. I recall the famous comment by Jasper McLevy (socialist mayor of Bridgeport from 1933 to 1957). After a particularly deep snowfall and the streets of Bridgeport were impassible for a week or so the people complained. McLevy wasn't going to spend money on snow removal. He said " The good Lord put the snow there. Let the good Lord take it away." The State moved in and cleaned up the city...dumped the snow in the harbor. Might have been the 1947 megastorm.
Don't overdo the shoveling..that's young men's work.

Here's all we have left from our last snow here in Maryland.

[Vic Piano]

John, we had snow in Tampa last night... the cable TV went out for half an hour... And, it was cold... a chilling 68 degrees last night.

[51 MERC-CT]

Wonderful Snow

[VeryTangled]

Very cool photos.

What's the road look like?

Note to everyone: Have spare belts for the snow thrower!

I've discovered walking behind a snow thrower may be the coldest place on earth! I use heavy rubber covered gloves over wool ones, good boots, watch-cap, hood, and a face mask. It helps a lot. Also I've learned to check the wind direction!

I don't know where you got your information. I have been here since 2005 and the hottest it has ever gotten is 97*. I bet it gets hotter in Illinois. Central Fla. gets hotter, but next to the ocean, it just does not get that hot. The humidity is not as bad as it was in West Virginia.
It does get hot, earlier in the day. I have seen it around 90* at 10:00 AM.
It was 83* today, with total blue sky. BEAUTIFUL !

I have to agree with Mike, it doesn't get any better weather wise, it's a balmy 84 degrees here in the Tampa Bay Area right now however, they are expecting a cold front this weekend, and the temps are expected to dip down to around 60 degrees.

[BERNIE G]

Knowing how Winter is down there. What if we all came on down with ya? Might get a little crowded don't ya think. But I would miss the winter fun. Gettin the fire wood, shoveling for the meter reader, who never comes. Keep the oil fill pipe shoveled so we can have a few thousand dollars worth of fuel delivered. Oh yes, and then there is , clear the house drive, the car port, the walkways, and a place for our 8 in tall dog to do her stuff. Talk about dirty looks, put your 8 in dog out after a 30 in snow storm.
And then clear the back drive (250 feet)and shop parking area,60x100 approx.
Man I'm tired. So take Sunday off, I magin; Cause more comeing on Monday. Did I mention I would miss all of the Winter fun?

But we have gone GREEN now. Little Johnny Deere Green, does most of my shoveling now. Why would anyone want to go where it's HOT, and you can't even find a $400 pair of snow tires. Oh well, guess we'll put some wood in the stove.. Enjoy!!!!

[41ford1]

Yup, snow can be an issue. So it takes 2 or 3 days to clean up so you can get around. I don't think I'd want to deal with a Katrina sized hurricane, the tornado's that Missouri just had or California earthquakes. Every body gets to deal with some weather and natural events.

It is by far more then any create work program could ever put to work.
