Good luck to all those people about to be hammered with "their" storm of the century !
There is a 5th dimension,beyond that which is known to man.It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity,between science& superstition,& it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.This is the dimension of imagination.It is an area which we call PCLINUXOS!

Thanks, joechimp, I'm sitting in the Berkshires in MA and have seen about a thousand flakes so far. Hammers are nowhere to be seen! It must be happening somewhere else.
Thanks for your concern,

I heard 30 inches of snow. That sounded like being hammered to me.  :D

Change of scenery: I just saw the first few hammers flying. 6 hours late, but now we are going to get it!

Guess it is going to be a storm of epic proportions. I saw on TV that in Massachusetts the Governor declared a state of emergency and closed all roads at 4 PM. If you get caught on the road and you are not an emergency vehicle or an essential worker of some kind, it will be 1 year in jail. That sure sounds like they are taking this serious.

Hope everyone gets through that mess!

My sister-in-law just made the trip safely (on the roads) from Rochester to "Upstate" (Catskills).

This was about 3 hours ago from my current post but JRex (whom, as most of you know, is already in up state New York) says "It's still coming down and shows no sign of stopping"  :o

Tomorrow is Saturday.  We (216 miles north of the 49th parallel) will have -1C temps.  That is crazy warm for us, this time of year.

My 32-inch snow-blower has only seen snow 4 times this winter so far.
One of the few things I've learnt as growing older.  Is to choose your battles.. but never loose sight of the war..!

We ended up with about a foot of snow. Unfortunately, I could not test our new Generator in a real life situation, since the power never went out around here. I am starting to believe what my wife said when we had it installed:"From now on the power will never go out again!"

We are at 42/42N with -11C.

Some people are expected to be without power for over a week.
