Looks pretty likely, for SNE at least so I'm upgrading this thread to "official"... ;)

I woke up to the clock radio today hearing "6-12 north of Rte 495 (mass.) WTF? Did I miss something? or are the weatherbabes trying to wind up the metro areas again into a state of complete panic. Milk! Bread!

HAZARDOUS? Damn well better be hazardous - that's what we need. These dingalings down here are all chit-chatting about how nice all this barren land looks and, good golly, snow again just when they thought it was spring?

BRING ON THE HAZARDOUS, me and my skis are ready!

Yeah, I'm just a whiner. :grin:

Much better than last year when I was in DC for Valentines and lovely Iselin NJ for St Pattys.

More snow for my NE friends! :flag:

Here we go again. About 30 hours from now Greg will post his first sleet complaint of the storm.

If it doesn't come this storm's a blockbuster.

You know me too well. :lol: I can hear the pitter patter of sleet hitting the front of the house already. I don't care really, as long as the all snow line stays somewhere south of Sundown...

The NWS says the Winter Storm Watch for my county (Tolland) and the adjacent ones will be upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning by this afternoon. I guess we are looking at 6-10" along and south of I-90.

The ground around my house is bare for the first time since December 9th and it's kind of depressing.

I've got one pathetic remnant left over from the snowman we built a week or so ago. Time to restock!

Bring it on...

I'm sick of seeing grass on lawns and next to the highway... I want to see snowbanks like I saw driving up to Sunday River last Friday (absolutely HUGE)...

Of course, I have two fencing tournaments to compete in this weekend (one is a National qualifier) so I won't be able to get out and enjoy the snow... but I'll be glad to see it back.
