I get to work from home tomorrow and they are predicting cancelations Thursday and Friday. I stocked up to get thru the next couple days. 60 gallons of gas, 5 gallons of diesel, 2 20 lb tanks of propane filled, and a 12 pack of Sam Adams Alpine!

Suppose I just have some pre-game jitters. We don't get 8-12" snows often. Especially with the blowing and drifting. I have no doubt we will handle it. Just not sure when I will get any sleep. I'm not old yet, but those 24-30-36hr runs aren't as easy as they used to be. Heck. They were never "easy", but definitely more doable than they are now. lol
Got 6 to 7 days of wood between my living room and back porch. Faccc!! I need coffee...holy shit thatd be awful...

Raining all morning here so far. 37 degrees on the way in to work. Allen's school got canceled last evening around 6pm and so far no snow in sight. They could have at least gotten them a half a day. Hell I was just saying last night I can remember sitting in the kitchen mornings waiting to hear our school on the radio and most of the time if it got closed it was like 20 minutes before the bus came (one of the first houses on the bus route) so you got up and ready no matter what.

Water is starting to pool up pretty good around here and we have another 7-8hrs of rain till it switches over.....rrrrr

I'm predicting the first hour to three hours of "snow" melting at the change over. Ground temps need to drop as it starts to snow. This could reduce our totals by an inch or so. Especially if we salt heavy at switch over. My buddy called and was watching storm track. Said it looked like breaking up on tail end. BUT. . . .that is 30hrs out for us. Lots can change as it moves.
Just bailed from work 2inches of snow and a white out but ice hits 1st. accidents everywhere! Ice should start soon at my house with the temp at 32 and it snowing a few mile away freaking nasty. I suggest getting home before it snows way to much. Wet heavy shit on top of ice. Yippy.
Started raining here nonstop since just after 7am. I ran out and filled boiler up before this relentless rain. Ugh
Really dreading the ice though, have 30-35 gallons of gas, fully stocked pantry, 2 fridges and freezer with toasty house and genny at the ready if I need it. Just hate the hassle using it but glad I have the backup.
Good luck and stay safe TOOville
