Just cleared (again) all the snow off the fuel line into the house on the above ground oil tank.
I could be wrong but I’ve dealt with some freeze ups over the years when the oil gels in the line with that type of set up
I believe the “antidote” is to add a bit of kerosene to the tank to help prevent that?

Yeah I think they have some chemicals as well that reduce the freezing temp? but not sure. One year I was very low on oil and the stick was frozen in the bottom of the tank!!

I have a long run to the furnace in the basement (about 30 feet). I added two Tiger Loops a couple of years ago, on the hot water heater and the furnace. It keeps the suction really good so the oil flows.
 
Snooze 12 is coming up with some numbers and the rate of snowfall has really tailed off (as of right now) here in Matzohpizza. Supposedly, probably as accurate as china virus infection and death rates, Matzohpizza has 16", Smithtown 20", and Seaford just 12".
 
End of days tonight in FL. Tomorrow's "What's on Tonight's Menu" thread from our Snowbirds could be interesting. Rumor has it, they taste like chicken...

How cold is it in Miami? It's so cold that 'falling iguanas' are forecast​

(CNN)Cold weather is relative to where you are, right?

A freezing wind chill in Minneapolis might be a warm snap. People in the Northeast are being crushed by a legitimate blizzard.

And way down south in South Florida, all the way down to South Beach, the high temp Saturday will be a bone-chilling 60 degrees, the National Weather Service says.

And on Sunday?

Forget about it. Sunday morning in West Palm Beach, the temp will be 36, with a wind chill at 32, forecasters say. Other locations in South Florida are expecting temps so cold that forecasters are even predicting the "only in Florida" weather calamity known as: Isolated falling iguanas.

"Much of the state will remain mostly clear and frigid tonight with the chance for scattered to isolated falling iguanas from trees due to subfreezing temperatures that may temporarily paralyze them," according to the Weather Prediction Center.

The keyword is "temporarily," since the raining reptiles most often rejuvenate when the warmth returns.

The bitter Arctic air could bring the coldest temperatures in more than a decade to Miami on Sunday morning.

Freeze watches and warnings are in effect for much of the state Saturday night.

Wind chill advisories reach down to Key Largo. Wind chills will drop into the teens in the northern part of the state to near freezing in Miami.

Freeze warnings are in effect for around 10 million people in Florida, including Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and Melbourne.

Affiliate WPLG reports that homeless advocates are warning people that it's not safe to sleep in cars or on the streets this weekend.

Fire officials are advising people on the safe use of space heaters -- and not to use the oven for heat.
Farmers are hoping the low temps are not severe enough or long-last enough to damage crops, affiliate WSVN reports.
 
OK. After more modeling digested, I can narrow it down a bit more:

NW of NYC into NWNJ: 3"-6"
NYC metro/Nassau County/SWCT: 5"-10"

E. Nassau/Suffolk County: 10"-20"+ (more east)

If I see a drastic change tonight or tomorrow morning, I will update one more time.
I would say AG3 nailed it again…..tough to say what we got here in E NPT cause of the drifts but 12-15 is a decent guess. Luckily it wasn’t a “heavy” snow, and the boy is old enough to run the machines with no issues…..why am I hearing about next weekend already!!!!
