Is it just me or is this latest system taking the same type of track as many of the others we had last month?

i'm anxiously awaiting the next report from him, hoping for good news, weather is down right depressing today!

It is depressing, but it looks like we might be recovered by the weekend. There could be some snow in this system plus a legit snowstorm showing for the weekend.

p.s., a neighbor walked by my house last night as I was taking the ski racks off. She said, in reference to snow "I'm sick of it." I think I may have permanently punctured my tongue , biting it so hard as to prevent saying something unkindly. She already knew where I stand on the issue.
