Snow piles piling up on Saturday.
Only how deep remains to be suffered.
In classic fashion, the forecast for this weekend’s long-expected storm has gone from an expected rani/snow mix a handful of days ago to now projecting around a foot of snow likely with as much as eighteen inches possible in at least some communities south of Boston and east of the 95 corridor.
In other words, Quincy is on the edge of finding itself Q’ed.
Potentially wicked Q’ed.
Taking a break from plowing?

Further, the final track of what will be a Nor’easter is as yet certain and thus but a bit of a wobble from the currently most likely consensus storm path could up snow totals towards as much as two feet.
In short, be afraid – be very afraid
Regardless of what the storm ends up dumping on Quincy, count on Quincy Quarry News hitting the soon-to-be snow-covered streets of Quincy to report on who is getting thoroughly plowed and who is not so much.

In the meanwhile, Quincy Quarry’s media brethren at Universal Hub has issued a four-slice warning on its five slices French Toast winter storm index.
No French Toast for you?

Quincy Quarry News agrees with the Hub’s four-slice storm warning rating as if the Quarry knows anything after almost eight years of covering the Q, it is that not only can get worse, they all too often do.
Also in the meanwhile, Quincy Quarry News personnel went shopping yesterday to lay in supplies as well as libations and found shelves already more bare than usual during the era of still-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic supply chain problems.
Needless to say, one can only fear what may follow for those who opt to shop closer to when the storm hits the fan.

Maybe I’ll go buy a truck with a plow so I can be sure my street will be plowed.
The supply chain problems were intentionally unleashed only during COVID, not because of COVID. California created HUGE problems with its longshoremen (something unthinkable prior to Governor Newsom) and made it a financial nightmare for its truckers and trucking companies to operate. The supply chain crisis was manufactured there and can be replicated here.
After all, Massport spent millions to deepen local shipping channels to accommodate larger ships and thus watch for our next governor to put outrageous restrictions on trucking operations. Unless she looks at what unhappy truckers in Canada look like and thinks twice.
On the other hand, Quincy will through the approaching storm as we do all others. Our roads are narrow. This isn’t Hanover.
Ah, the Twilight Zone theory of supply chain issues.
Gone are the days when local elected officials roamed Quincy streets after snowstorms offering residents help with shoveling snow.
