Looks like we are in the 18"-24" range (unless the "an" in Albany, so nicely IN THE FREAKING WAY, is over the darker purple 12"-18") but YOU are in the 2-3'!!!!!

It's still early yet. They are still saying we don't really know the exact track yet. But we definitely will get some snow, just don't know how much. But we will be prepared. DH will make sure that we have enough gasoline for the snow blower and (hopefully we don't need it) the generator. I have Friday off so I'll go to the grocery store to get some food items and some water. I already filled the 5 gallon water jug we have and a few other jugs, those will be for flushing.

we got the Land's End swimsuit catalog today

OMG!

you need something to boost your spirits!!!!!

Definitely!

With all that snow, maybe your son will get a little sister or brother.

My son would probably love it but No chance.

@Bruce don't you want to don a swimsuit and join the Polar Bear Club?

Um, let me think about that for a half a nanosecond ... NO!

Besides, I'll be too busy clearing snow. DW doesn't have to work Sunday or Monday (MLK holiday) so she's fine. But DD2 has to head to the ski area both days so I'll be up fairly early pushing at least some snow so she can get out, then again around 4:30 so she can get back in. The "Edge tamers" I got for the tractor bucket work well. They keep the edge of the bucket about 1/2" off the ground so it doesn't dig into the uneven surfaces. They are like little skies that bolt onto the bucket. Of course the real tractor is not near as easy to move around parked cars as the garden tractor and blower. I might do a hybrid clearing, clear the larger/longer areas with the real tractor and around the "tight places" with the garden tractor.

High for the day Sunday: 6°F, Monday: 0°F
Yeah moving snow in that WILL be fun!

I don't have to work on Sunday and by Monday the storm should be over so that's fine.

Well, just remember that you two will be feeling sorry for us southerners come July when it's 100ºF+ and the humidity is 90%, while you folks will be in the mid-70s.

You mean when you can't go outside to do anything because it is too hot and humid?? Too bad we can't "snowbird" our properties. Would be nice to be able to work outside year round in perfect weather

You are spitting in the wind, they aren't going to feel sorry for us!

@Bruce I took a potshot at you over the swimsuit catalog, now I am being stalked by bikini pop up ads...…..
