Thank you voodoo lady. HV is now opening at 1pm on weekdays for the rest of the season so I won't have to get up early (which would be tough seeing as I'm up right now). I'll get my son and I there around 1pm when they open.

it's impossible for me to sleep during snowstorms...

Ha. Me too. I tossed and turned all night. Fell asleep on the couch and when I went to bed around 11:30, it wasn't snowing. I looked outside at 2:30 to see an inch. Hard to tell what we have so far; probably 6-8" and 19 degrees. Dry slot coming through. Unless this backend really delivers, it's sort of a bust. Far from the 'up to 20"' the NWS was saying for my county 24 hours ago.

yup, a bust over here. Maybe 3" blown all over the place right now, from what I can tell from looking out my window. Maybe it all blew in the woods? Heavier bands of snow are supposed to be falling soon, hoping for some more accumulation but not banking on it.

Well I don't think we're going to 15 unless there is a big back end on it. Looks like about 8 right now.

Not even 2 inches here at about 10 AM. Wind's blowing everything around right now. I pay a flat fee to the guy who snowblows my driveway so if I have to pay for him to come I'd just as soon get a foot.
