The governor of the State of Massachusetts has issued a road ban .. NO cars on the road ... starting just now .. 4pm. Up to a one year prison sentence! ... and my wife is still at work. I'll bring her roses when I visit.

My daughter was born during the last one 35 yrs ago, now that's tough. The biggest issue here is losing power. Out in the rural areas where I am we have'nt upgraded equipment in over 50yrs. That's tough.

 

I wonder how many babies were born exactly 9 months later.

I remember the big snows we got in Colorado when I lived there...45 inches one time, stayed inside and worked from home for 3 days...stocked up on food and beer before the storm.   I still have my snow shovel in my Jeep, though I don't use it much in AZ..     But will need it when I move back to a snowy climate...

HEY- Didn't Steven King write a story about a bad snow storm in New England ?

When people see it, do they know what it is?

Probably not..it's in my back hatch area, sort of the 'trunk' of an SUV...all sorts of junk back there-- ice scrapers, heavy winter Weather Tech rubber floor mats, air compressor, battery charger, cans of window deicer, etc...

They must think you're some sort of end-of-the-world apocalypse whackjob type!  

 

De-icer in Arizona... hmmm... what does that guy know that we don't know...

I have used it here before on weekend trips up to Flagstaff in the winter.

About a foot here so far since last night, we call that a "dusting".

Funny you say that Harry. About 12 years ago we went to Phoenix for Spring Break to see my Mother-in -Law and the Cubs spring training. It was 80 degrees every day in Phoenix but when we went up to the Grand Canyon, it was 28 degrees and 16 inches of snow! And we thought Chicago weather was strange!

Coming down fast now... and they say we aren't in the worst of it yet. Got a half foot so far...  Almost 7PM.

[jaydar]

I hope all affected by this storm are able to weather it ok.
I also wonder how many children may be conceived this weekend! Wewill know soon enough.
Be careful out there.

Sounds like a good time to finish up the Chevy from our 24 hr. build you were workin on Terry !!!

Just starting to see flakes here... got my blizzard kit ready - shovel, 48 beer and chicken fingers.

I just looked out the door. I kinda wish I hadn't.

 

I'll probably go out in a little while and clear some. At least the electric snow-thrower Dad bought works pretty decent. He was able to get about four spots equivalent cleared in about ten minutes with about three or four inches on the ground.

 

Looking out the door, I'd say we have about 8 or 10 right now.

 

Mike- did your wife get home safe?

Wow I went out to move some good size branches that came down on the road. I shoveled my drive way while I was out there. Theres about 5-6 inches and its wet and heavy, and the bad part of the storms has just arrived and is supose to go all night. On the plus side I managed to get four cars finished up today.

Wow. I hope you're stocked up on provisions. You might not be able to survive those frigid temps if you had to leave the house for any reason!
