    Winter is finally coming. 3 have already died on the freeway not 30 miles from here.. Stay safe folks this weekend calls for fast snow fall. I'd rather have a lot of snow slow than a small amount fast....

    I'm going to fill the porch with firewood, clean the pellet stove, run the generator and get the snow blower ready. My annual OCD moment.....

    Thanks for reminding me to fire up the generators! Trying to remember to run them once a month.

    I knew we were going to pay for all that nice weather this fall, 5 to 7 inches of snow today and below zero temps next week.:confused:

    Leave early; don't be in a hurry.

    I think you're supposed to get around a foot, no?

    Snow forecasted here in the greater Boston area, for Monday. Not much, 1-3 inches. But, I'm sure all the people that forgot how to drive in the stuff, will make things lousy for everyone else.

    Stay safe.

    I don't know anymore I have heard 10 to 13 inches but that was starting tonight at 10pm so probably more than that if we get the storm they called for tonight. Ovid is right on the outer edge of it so I guess we will see.

    True that. Just like the old joke-

    "Sex is like a snowstorm. You never know how many inches you'll get or how long it will last."

    Must've been a woman's point of view! :rofl: :lol:
