"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. ;-)



If you get this storm like we are getting, you won't be driving anywhere
anyway. All driving has been banned except for emergency vehicles, plows
and the media.


I am 10 miles north of Plymouth on the coast
and according to the news this area is getting really hammered.
Predictions still call for 24"+. Hard to tell how much has fallen
so far because the wind is blowing it everywhere. The back door to
our garage has a drift that's 3/4 of the way up the door. I opened
it to see what Sam Adams would do and he just looked at me as if to
say, "Are you ****tin' me"?
