LOL @ video... OK so you have a couple idiots out there but NOTHING like what we have....

If I took a 12 minute vid in the snow I would have only driven 3 blocks and you would have witnessed 16 cars careen off into the ditch or into mailboxes!! (like this)

There were just a few cars in the ditch on the way back home. One was right outside the coffee shop parking lot. There was this cute 20 something blonde that just seemed out of place in the coffee shop by herself. She grabbed a coffee and made a phone call and left. I left right after her and noticed she walked out into the lot with no car in sight. I thought that was odd. Then when I exited the other side of the coffee shop (where I turned in earlier) I saw her car in the ditch. The kicker? Ohio plates!!!!

I love it! I might have been tempted to stop and help... well maybe not, but I would have lingered to watch.

That is so true... they look great until they open their mouths.

We just got the snowblower out of the shed... the forecast says that we'll be getting in the ballpark of 10" before tomorrow morning.

Apparently the storm is going to really whack New England by the time it gets up there... Looks to be a doozy that is going to whack most of the east coast.... A fun storm.

Pretty photos Scott!

I'm with you Ed, I love sitting and watching a storm.... I'm mostly just sitting and watching the snow come down.... Right now it's blowing sideways... Pretty to look at, but I'm glad to be here sitting and watching it from in front of a nice warm fire.

yea, and the question... hmmm how long is this gonna last? A little is nice, a lot can be a problem.

start thinking about the amount of food in the house and if we have enough coffee ect...

We have it pretty good compared to our fore fathers who saw snow in a differant light. I imagine there were quite a few homes that were pretty cold inside - lots of babies born about 9 months after a good storm
