Hard to believe what a difference a couple hundred miles make, we didn't see a single flakes but even in parts of Jersey they got some significant snowfall. I wish we got some of that!

Went to check on the house at 10am this morning. As soon as I opened the door, the power came back on. So we are back home trying to warm the house. It was down to 35 inside. Up to 60 now. More fun snow tomorrow!

Bring it! The CT meteorologists have already begun the hype! "3-6", 6-10" or more. We just don't know yet."

We really could use some plowable snow, I know a lot of the landscapers/snow removal guys are really hurting. As if the state of the economy weren't enough, here in central CT I think we've only had a half dozen snow "events" so far this year and three of them were in the 2" or less range. My accounts are only for play money, a lot of guys count on it to make ends meet.

4" of the wet primo snow man making stuff in the last 24 hours. Its tapering off now. I was a little ticked off since this is our third snow event in 3 weeks. Then I started looking at everyone else's photos.

The old lady's and safety moms love this crap, they will be out in force at the stores! You abolutly need a monster 4wd SUV with a huge V8 to drive to the store and buy a weeks worth of food because 3in of snow is coming.

The local forecast must have fizzled. I heard the female newscaster ask the weatherman, "Where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?"

I tell you I am darn happy to have the Suburban here in Virgina! Plenty of morons on all seasons or worse yet high performance summer tires trying to get around in the muck - even the main roads still have 3-5 inches of garbage on them - icy slush, ice, and snow!

I passed six cars plowed into the ditch today and they were not there yesterday!

At least most of them were ricers with fart cans and spoilers

There was one Crown Vic and an X5 in the ditch a well...

Where I am they did not bother plowing a second time and the road has almost a foot of snow on it still!


I do agree that driving do the Wegmans and buying 100 gallons of milk, 60 loaves of bread and every freaking can of peas is overkill!

I feel the pain. We only got 2-3 over the weekend. It was predicted 4-12 inches. DC must of stole a bunch from us. And the Colts lost the SB. We did get about 3 inches last night. Its suppose to snow over the next day or so. Maybe 4 more inches.
