Totally unrelated to the coming storm, but I was almost killed by a huge slab of ice/snow that flew off of the SUV in front of me coming to work today. I was just merging onto I-291 when the ice/snow flew off this persons roof and must have sailed better that 25' into the air. If I did not swerve out of the way it would have smashed my windshield.

Luckily there was room to take quick action. A state tropper was behind me by a few cars and quickly passed me and pulled over the car.

I hear this is a failure to secure load ticket with a $110 fine.

I lost a windshield like this a couple years back. I was on I-93N coming out of Boston, 18 wheeler in the lane next to me hit a bump, I saw the ice/snow coming but had nowhere to go... crack across my whole windshield... 1-800-54-GIANT...

New Jersey is the worst with this ice of of SUV/ Trucks thing.
It seems people there don't understand that you need to take the stuff off the car before you drive.
I've been hit with chunks so many times in the last two years i can't even count them all.

How are you liking MRG, Austin? This was your first season there, right?

It's the best ski area in the east, IMO. And yeah, I have never skied there before this season. I already have 4 days there, and will probably finish the year with around 20.

Ah, enjoy.

I'll be at SR on Christmas Eve.

See you after the holiday.

Oh yeah, I forgot about your trip. Have fun.

A big wall of green is on the radar heading for eastern Connecticut. I guess we will have snow within the hour.

We got a dusting earlier with a small shower, and like Loafer said, a bigger band is on its way in. Some of the optimistic weather forecasts are saying 2-4" around here but I'd say 2" is gonna be tops around here. Looks good for NH.
