It's a good thing I finally broke down and bought a space heater a couple nights ago, because it looks like I'm going to be spending the day in my under-heated apartment watching the snow accumulate outside. I was supposed to drive out to visit family tonight, but I'm not sure it's going to happen now.

― o. nate (onate), Saturday, 22 January 2005 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

be careful with your space heaters, people. not a good idea.

the tourists were out early this morning to take pictures of the WTC site before the snow started falling. that probably happens every weekend though.

― phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 22 January 2005 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

be careful with your space heaters, people

Well, unfortunately the central heating unit in my apartment (it's some dinky little thing in the closet) can only raise the temperature to about 70, so if I want anything warmer than that, a space heater is really the only way to go. I know they can be dangerous if left unattended, but I only use it basically if I'm sitting right in front of it. I really miss the old first-floor apartment I use to have in the East Village with good old steam heat. That place was usually like 80 degrees all winter long - except when they ran out of heating oil, then it would freeze for a couple of days.

― o. nate (onate), Saturday, 22 January 2005 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

his shop is a bridal shop, actually. he'd rented convention space across in a building across the street from the convention center. he paid me to wander around and give flyers about his deal to folks who showed up not knowing that the big show'd been cancelled.

― kingfish (Kingfish), Saturday, 22 January 2005 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

70 F is 21 C, there is no reason in the world a room needs to be warmer than that. 15 C is plenty really. Just put an extra jumper on.

yeah, I was about to say that I never raise the thermostat higher than 65, at 70 it is was too warm.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 22 January 2005 21:26 (twenty-one years ago)

The space heater in my apartment has an automatic shutoff switch if it gets moved or tipped over, plus a thermostat setting so it only activates if the room temperature drops below a certain point.

Anyway, I wonder if you can still get pizza delivered. I don't want to go outside. Big tip! I promise!

============================

'Nasty' Storm Snarls Travel in Northeast
By ROBERT D. McFADDEN

Published: January 23, 2005

A month across the abyss of winter, the season's first major storm swept into New York and much of the Northeast stifling travel, slowing the pace of life for millions and recasting the landscapes of 12 states into the graceful drifts of an aerodynamic new world.

The storm, touted as a probable blizzard, roared in from the Midwest and turned into a classic northeaster, with 30-to-50-mile-an-hour winds and nebular arms revolving counterclockwise. It moved up the coast, gathering ocean moisture and hurling it back at the land as snow that erased cities and towns, canceled many flights, choked railways and highways and filled the air with crystalline impressions.

It began quietly in the New York metropolitan area before noon, a gentle whispering fall in the pale January light, but by 3 p.m. it had become a driving force of windblown snow, with gusts that hissed against the windows and mounting accumulations of snow that, meteorologists said, only hinted at the depths to come.

By late this morning, the accumulations were expected to top out at 12 to 18 inches in Central Park and up to 2 feet in Northern New Jersey, Eastern Long Island, Southern Connecticut and shore areas of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Lesser totals were expected in the Washington area and in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and southern sections of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

The Northeast was hardly alone in wintry misery. Heavy snows pounded parts of the Midwest, with the Chicago area getting its biggest snowfall of the season: more than 8 inches by yesterday afternoon with the snow still falling. At O'Hare International Airport, 200 stranded passengers slept on cots near baggage claim areas Friday night, when 700 flights were canceled. Many flights were delayed yesterday by more than 90 minutes. Southern Michigan had 6 to 14 inches of snow yesterday, and drifts of three feet were common.

In the pantheon of winter storms in New York, it did not compare with the all-time record blizzard of Dec. 26-27, 1947, which interred the city in 26.4 inches of snow, and was expected to fall short of the blizzard of Jan. 7-8, 1996, which left 20.2 inches in Central Park. But Todd J. Miner, a meteorologist with Pennsylvania State University, said it had the potential to rival the President's Day blow last year, which left 19.8 inches.

"This is a big, nasty snowstorm," Mr. Miner said early yesterday afternoon. "It's possible we will be heading toward well over a foot of snow in Central Park. We're not going to get two feet, but heading toward 18 inches is not a bad signpost, bringing this into the upper echelons of storms. Of the top 12 city snowstorms on record - 16 inches or higher - we've probably got a good shot at that."

Mr. Miner said the storm would probably meet the National Weather Service's criteria for a blizzard - winds of at least 35 miles an hour, falling or blowing snow and visibility of less than a quarter-mile for three consecutive hours. But you could hardly tell neighbors shoveling huge drifts from their driveway it fell short of a blizzard.

And it was cold, bitter cold. It was 29 below zero in Massena, N.Y., 28 below at Saranac Lake, N.Y., 14 below in Syracuse and 10 below in Albany. In New York City it was a relatively balmy 10 above yesterday morning.

With whiteout conditions on runways, the storm was expected to wipe out flight schedules across the region overnight, and possibly to shut down airports in the New York metropolitan area, as well as in Philadelphia, Hartford, Boston, Albany and other cities, stranding thousands of passengers.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the three major metropolitan airports as well as bridges, tunnels and the Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH) rail system, went into a full mobilization of personnel and equipment and was bracing for a rough weekend. But the effects of the storm on authority facilities were minimal in its first hours.

Shortly after 2 p.m., the authority's Web site reported that Kennedy International and Newark Liberty International Airports were experiencing minimal flight delays, but that La Guardia Airport had delays of up to an hour on arrivals and departures and almost 200 flight cancellations.

Traffic was moving on the George Washington Bridge and the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, but there were 35 mile-an-hour speed limits on Staten Island bridges. The authority had mobilized 1,500 employees and 200 pieces of snow equipment at the airports, and 70 more pieces of equipment at the bridges and tunnels.

Up and down the Northeast Corridor, driving was treacherous on icy, snow-blown highways, roads and neighborhood streets, and motorists were advised to stay home or use public transportation. But trains and buses were also delayed by the storm, and getting around, for those who had to, was an ordeal.

The Long Island Rail Road, which operates 450 trains on 11 branches on a typical weekend, reported only minor delays as the storm began. "But that could change as the storm worsens and the wind increases," said Brian P. Dolan, a spokesman. "They're predicting drifts of snow. If we get 2 to 3 inches an hour, that challenges us to keep pace with the storm." Meantime, he said special trains were spraying antifreeze on power, rails, and activating electric and gas-powered heaters to keep switches moving.

Even before the snow began falling, the Metro-North Railroad had a signal problem on its Upper Hudson line between Croton and Poughkeepsie that delayed about 8 trains for up to 30 minutes. Marjorie Anders, a spokeswoman, said that railroad officials were meeting in the afternoon to decide whether to cut back service because it appeared that many passengers were staying home.

New Jersey Transit, which operates 11 rail lines, 3 light rail systems and 240 bus routes around the state and into Penn Station, cut its service schedule yesterday afternoon until midnight tonight. Dan Stessel, a spokesman for NJ Transit, said that express trains on the Northeast Corridor line had been canceled, although local trains continued on an hourly schedule. The Midtown Direct line between Penn Station and Dover, N.J., in Morris County was rerouted to Hoboken, where passengers could switch to PATH trains running to 33rd Street in Manhattan.

Forewarned, cities and counties across the region had readied armies of equipment and sent out fleets of salt spreaders and snow plows to counterattack as the snow began falling. In New Jersey, state transportation officials and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority had more than 2,000 trucks on the roads to plow and spread salt. The Port Authority also had hundreds of pieces of equipment out, and more than 200,000 gallons of liquid de-icing chemicals for use on wings and other surfaces.

In New York, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg went to the department's Queens repair shop and said 2,500 sanitation workers - using 1,450 garbage trucks with plows, 82 dump trucks with plows and 350 salt spreaders - would work around the clock in two shifts to keep major arteries and streets open. He said he expected that all of the city's 6,300 miles of streets would be plowed at least once by the start of the workweek tomorrow morning.

Mr. Bloomberg also issued a few words of caution. "The streets even after they are plowed will be slippery, so you should take caution," he said. "The streets will be narrower, the snow has to go some place." He also urged residents to dress warmly, check on neighbors, take mass transit to work and keep cars off the streets so the plows can get through.

Many schools with Saturday classes closed. Aqueduct and the Meadowlands Racetrack canceled their Saturday racing programs, and many college basketball games were postponed. National Football League conference championship games in Philadelpha (Eagles-Atlanta Falcons) and Pittsburgh (Steelers-New England Patriots) were still on track for today and, with the snow over by game times, only bitter cold and high winds were expected to be factors.

I was able to make it to the corner market just fine. It's not as bad on the ground, I found out. I live on the sixteenth floor, and the wind is howling up here. Anyway, the market was a madhouse and someone was in there with a cart full of those little crappy doughnuts.

It's great weather for a snowball fight, actually.

Just for the record, I do not turn the heat in my apartment up to 75 - it wouldn't do any good anyway, since the heater can't heat the place over 70. Anyway, the thermostat says 68, but it feels colder than that. My dad just called me and he was going on about how he wishes it was snowing where he lives and how much he'd like to go for a long walk in the snow. He seemed to be having difficulty understanding why I wasn't so enthusiastic about the idea.

Oh my god, I'm so jealous of this thread. It seems like the whole of the proper US is hunkering down with loved ones, roaring fires and hot chocolate to see out the prety weather.

I heard a rumour it was supposed to snow in London tomorrow, but although the temperature is about right (roughly freezing), the weather website says there's 0% chance of precipitation.

Being that this is Gator Magoon's first big snowstorm since leaving SoCal (or ever?), I'll ask him to check in and let us know he's OK.

The storm was very quiet/uneventful here in Cle (about 6" of powdery snow) until about 3 PM when the wind suddenly picked up. Not an ideal travel night but there are plenty of people out.

I shovel, therefore I am. However, it is a light and fluffy snow. There's quite a bit of it - over a foot - but very light and fluffy. I drove my car down the street to the Pulaski Club so the plows can liberate my driveway. Now i need to go there and purchase a libation in thanks for their parking lot being plowed early.

From KYW.COM:

Although the snow will likely move out of the Philadelphia area before the game, give yourself extra time to get to Lincoln Financial Field as conditions will be less than desirable. It is suggested that anyone headed to the game take public transportation or carpool. Gates opened atl 8 a.m. but remember since the lots require plowing, fewer spaces will be available. . . .

Stadium officials have also issued a warning - anyone who throws a snowball will be ejected from the game. In addition whoever owns the seat that person was sitting in will lose their season ticket privileges regarless of whether or not they were at the game. The culprit could also be arrested. (My emphasis, obv.)
