"Crippling and potentially historic" blizzard

[ny biker]

Just wanted to wish good luck to everyone in New York and New England. It looks like you're going to get a hefty pile of snow over the next couple of days.

Stay safe!!

I foresee lots of snowshoeing in my near future...might as well make the best of things!

Finally. We came home early from the White Mountains to clean up the snow that fell Saturday while we were away, and get groceries. I hate winters that are cold, with no snow. I foresee lots of local and semi local x country skiing and snow shoeing and I won't have to go to the gym so much. Ski conditions up north were so-so, and now, we will probably head up there for Valentines weekend, the weekend before we leave for the Cascades.
The only bad thing about these kinds of storms is that some people lose power. We have a local, municipal power company, so if it happens (which is very rare), it gets fixed very quickly.

Saw this on Twitter... seen in Boston this morning...


And on a more serious note, it's always important to remember to clear snow from around fire hydrants.

Thinking of all of you who will be affected by that storm. Hoping your employer will be understanding if you stay home.

I am glad Montreal will not be touched by this one, except for a few cms by end of week.

Sending good thoughts to everyone as you hunker down. This is why I live in Arizona....

Glad all are safe and hopefully dug out by now! I'm thankful I don't have cable as I am sure I would have spent far too much time watching the coverage. I STILL well remember what it was like here last year, but we only got 2 feet....

We had no issues at all. DH and the plow guy did their magic. DH went to work on Wednesday around 11 and I drove to my friend's (4 miles) and we went snow shoeing. The roads were kind of narrow as there's just not that much room to throw all that snow. I drove to Hudson (36 inches) on Thursday am... so much snow piled up in the HS lot that there were about half the usual spaces and the traffic was backed up for a mile to the school. I was late and my first client came before I got there! But, fabulous x country skiing later in the day, 7 miles from my house.
We had sleet/rain/snow today, but there's been some melting, as it was 33 today and yesterday. More snow (6-12 inches predicted for Monday). MOst likely will not go to work, as they will all cancel anyway.
Tomorrow, we are going x country skiing at Windblown, about an hour away, and then staying up there at a B&B, so we will ski again Sunday, and then come home and go to a really nice restaurant for dinner, while the rest of the world watches the Super Bowl.
