Oh yeah, the news just said that this storm is on track to beat that 2003 storm which is the all-time record breaker...

Still snowing here. Managed to get half of my driveway cleared this afternoon (about 200 feet of it) before I got it stuck along the edge in the dirt. Couldn't pull it out with my come-along so there it sits. I just had to go out to clear the sat dish off and the section I cleared earlier has a new layer of 6 inches, so the other section must have 1 1/2 feet. It isn't supposed to get above freezing until Christmas so we may be shoveling some snow tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day....

I stocked the wood for our stove tonight so all set there. Batteries are both charged on the r-pod if we lose electric ( which we do with a lot of storms). Gas Propane stove all set right by the back door. Let it snow! But now that I'm ready it will not do anything.

Now they are calling for 2-3 feet, which could break the record made in 2003. Holy -bleep-. If it isn't global warming it must be a really big ice cube sent by aliens. I'm all set, tractor is ready and I have 3 days worth of wood inside or by the porch.

Looks like its gonna be a big 'un in my area (MD) on Saturday. I love how this storm went from "snow showers" yesterday morning, to "some snow" yesterday evening and now they are calling for "possible blizzard conditions" and 12"-18" snow.
I'm going home early so I can pull the mower deck off my tractor and get the snow blower on, plus the chains. I haven't had to plow my driveway in 4 years, I hope I remember how to rig it up. 
I knew we were due for some snow this year, but, wow!
