"Went to bed at about 8pm planning on getting up around midnight to see
if plowing was necessary. It was. I didn't want to let the snow get
too high because it gets difficult to see where things are.

Just finished doing our driveway and the driveways of two neighbors.
Visibility is next to nothing. Heavy, blowing snow. A little sit
depressing considering the Weather Channel just said the peak of the
storm is just now approaching New York. Gonna be a long day tomorrow. "

Just happened to be up for a head visit at 0545 AST this morning and the snow had just started.
Could be a long day.
I haven't bought winter tires in over 30 years but I actually called the local Toyota dealer yesterday.
Parts dept said they don't have 17" steel rims for my Highlander so I bailed
Saved myself about $ 1500.00. ;-)


We've got a skift of snow here at the moment, but the weather forecast
is calling for a few more snow showers this morning. Our grass is
barely, literally, covered. The feds have a two hour late arrival or
unscheduled leave. Wife is taking a vacation day, which is a good idea.

I don't mind a little snow: I'm glad the storm didn't nail us.
