That mean i gotta go to work. ****

Even though there's basically no travel for the away team, I don't think there's any way this game isn't cancelled. We're talking about 2 feet of snow on the Island. It's supposed to start overnight tonight and end Wed morning.

 

[RGY]

Not tonight. Monday night into tuesday

 

[gary laser eyes]

Not tonight. Monday night into tuesday

The bulk of the storm, yes, but we could start seeing snow showers moving in overnight or early tomorrow.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Not tonight. Monday night into tuesday

The start of the storm will begin tomorrow morning though. The worst will be Monday night into Tuesday

Lastest snow numbers, 13.8 inches for my area

I never thought I'd say this especially when it comes to snow, thank God I'm in Pittsburgh right now.

Good morning from Phoenix. High of 79 today. Watching the weather in NY has become my second favorite spectator sport.

Most of these doomsday snowmageddon end of the world storms blow over.

Leave it to the Fishstix to have a GM named after this crap.

Probably no classes Tuesday or Wednesday

Greetings from Buffalo where we get 8 feet in 36 hours and sitting consistently on 1-2 feet since November. They'll deal.

8 feet? Holy ****. How do you deal with that?

Eh, that's not really fair to say.

As someone who has lived in both Buffalo and on Long Island, it's all relative.

WNY gets way more snow, way more often than we do. Your residents, towns, local governments are far more prepared, and experienced in "dealing" with snow.

That's why when they get 2" in Atlanta, the city shuts down.

It's all relative.

Keep in mind Islanders could be without Tavares and Halak if they all get stuck trying to fly back, if they even play Tuesday night.

 

[eco's bones]

Really I would hope tuesday's game is played. The Rangers already have to make up one with Buffalo and we'll be jamming the schedule even more at the end.

I have to say I remember as a kid we use to have major storms at least several times every winter. Out with the snow shovel to see if I could make some cash. People use to deal with it. We don't get nearly as much snow now and people freak out faster.

Erie county is short on equipment. Only recently has the TA and state police decided to get more equipment and resources. The towns got little to no help until the national guard came. The reason Atlanta shuts down is because snow is a rare occurrence and they aren't prepared for a very unusual type of weather and precipitation. We are in the northeast and the NY metro area is more than able to deal with 24 inches.

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

losing Tavares and Halak in comparison to losing Nash due to snow? lol Let it snow let it snow let it snowwwwwwwww

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

8 feet? Holy ****. How do you deal with that?

We didn't. We were stranded in homes (except people who were authorized to drive: plows, huge dump truck tanks with tons of salt, national guard and medical personnel) until the national guard got here and erie county and townships dug majority of us out.

I love the white stuff, hope we get two feet, some stroke of luck I had taken off the next two days of work. Like eco said, we used to get a few storms a year back in the day, they used to play the games sometimes too. There was that infamous Devils-Calgary game in December 87 where 334 fans showed up in a 20" blizzard. I remember they cancelled a game at the Garden in '94 cause of a snowstorm, Cup year.
