Quick! Buy all the milk, water, and batteries money can buy! Otherwise the cows will freeze, the water will turn to snow, and battery powered items will revolt!

By Nature (1414), Hampton Bays on Feb 7, 13 10:13 AM
Revolting punishment!
By PBR (2330), Southampton on Feb 7, 13 10:30 AM
Love that! Very funny! Panic is so much fun!!
By Lavender (1), New York on Feb 7, 13 12:03 PM
A veritable panic pundemic . . . or was that a punishing pandemic?

OK. Practical question here...If power goes out and loose heat, what can someone do to avoid pipes from freezing? Any suggestions, other than blaming Obama...Thanks.
By V.Tomanoku (482), southampton on Feb 7, 13 4:56 PM
V - temps are expected to move above freezing starting on sunday - it takes a while for a home to lose all residual heat. I wouldn't be concerned based on the forecast
By Nature (1414), Hampton Bays on Feb 7, 13 5:06 PM
Hah! Right on target, V. Don't worry, the wingnuts will find some way to attack Obama or Bishop soon enough

Leave cabinet doors under sinks open so warmer air in room circulates near pipes.
By VOS (422), WHB on Feb 7, 13 11:40 PM
Progressnow, you call my name? Haha, be safe this weekend.
By dnice (610), Hampton Bays on Feb 8, 13 9:17 PM
By Nature is correct. But just in case I raise the temp a few degrees in the house.
In a real pinch running water will in general not freeze so if worse comes to worse you can let a water trickle from the faucets but from what I see at the moment freezing pipes should not be a problem.

PBR - are we a day away from a new moon? Lets just hope the storm doesn't stall.
By North of Highway (269), Westhampton Beach on Feb 7, 13 6:01 PM
Unlikely to stall IMO. Saturday should see this train leave the station like a fast freight headin' NE.
By PBR (2330), Southampton on Feb 7, 13 7:00 PM
glad you guys are having a good laugh. was on the beach at 3 PM with steady east wind. if this storm holds true the oceanfront owners will have lost al the sand trucked in over the past months. can't fool mother nature

Thanks all for the advice on the freezing pipes. Good luck and stay safe.
By Toma Noku (130), uptown on Feb 7, 13 9:50 PM
Certain models project 36" of snow for SE Massachusetts. Before drifting!

All projections from NYC to Albany to Boston have increased significantly overnight.

The East End could get whacked IMO.

Have a good weekend.

The ARF Adoption Center in Wainscott is closing at 1pm today and the thrift shop in Sagaponack is closed. We anticipate both being closed tomorrow but people can call 631-537-0400.

Why lock a story about the blizzard? Sad.

Sorry, the story was never intended to be locked. It is now unlocked and will remain so. It was a technical issue.
By Bill Sutton, Managing Editor (73), Westhampton Beach on Feb 8, 13 7:29 PM
Any feedback about neighborhoods which have lost power?
By PBR (2330), Southampton on Feb 8, 13 11:44 PM
"UPDATE: Snow Totals Range From 9 to 19 Inches On South Fork, Winds Gusted To 75 m.p.h."

The gun lobby NRA dumped it there probably.

I just can't fathom how perfect guys like 27dan are. Damn highway workers have only been goning since Friday morning. Their aim on the mailboxes is off for sure.
