Saturday....JFK....7pm. Jet Blue. What are the chances I'll be heading to Arizona?!
Looks like the timing of the storm is mostly Friday night (for Burlington anyway). On the radio this morning the guy said the further east and south of Burlington you are, the more snow.

Hopefully will make up for most of what we lost this week.

Hopefully this situation doesn't turn into what we were seeing earlier this winter where warm air that wasn't supposed to be there kept showing up and ruining perfectly good snowstorms.

I had been planning to take this weekend off from the slopes and get a few things done around the house. I guess my wife is going to be pissed at me AGAIN for taking off for the weekend. I knew I should have put something in our vows about powder days.

No friends/wives on a powder day.
