    They're plastic and have that huge opening to expand up to. But, I was jesting with that one :D

    Sort of Will which is why I didn't say it was one just that everyone was tiptoeing around the RS's and T's I was hoping that Harman Lover 007 was going to say something.

    Snowing pretty good here now. I guess we re going to get several inches. Dry Creeks in the E2, tasty French toast in my belly. Gotta go to the store for a few things at the store and then coming back to snow blow a few spots younger son didn't get from the last storm and I want to open up a spot in the back yard for the dogs. Mini dachshunds legs ain't to long ! And the one in my avatar isn't to happy about doing her business outside if it raining, if you know what I mean. o_O

    Looks like the "Blizzard" is moving in as predicted. Snow amounts vary some, but fairly consistent at one to two feet. My concern is how heavy this snow will be. Hard to move, plow makes a header at the end of our driveway. Nurses will need to get to work at the hospitals. There will be emergency calls to answer. Folks get stupid and try to move it when their ticker won't take it. Young ones go for joy rides in the storm just for thrills. Everyone be patient. There will plenty of snow for sledding, snowmen to build, forts to make, plowing and shovels for the $$.

    Good to hear. I'm right on the edge of 1-3 and 3-6, so 3-4" would be good by me. <fingers crossed>

    Well, it's 10:45, and we have a little under 3" so far. Hope Jay is right and they've downgraded the totals.

    No, I can't move. It would take years to dig through all my stuff that is packed away! Even after half of it was disposed off when we did the rebuild of this place 2 yrs ago.

    I get it Larry, but where there's a will, there's a way. In your situation, my opinion is that you'd be much better off in a warmer climate. Just my 2 cents.

    Not to hijack, but my wife and I chat about that. We're in our mid 30's and have serious issues with summer heat. If anything, we've discussed moving north.

    Maine was too woodsy for her(I liked it just fine). Western mass, or portions of VT/NH are up for grabs, though.
