I'm sitting here blowdrying my hair while typing on YT...getting ready to run out to the shops to pick up some stuff. Tomorrow night I have a party to go to for a co-worker that has just retired, so I need to pick up a few bottles of wine....worse case scenario, if the weather if too bad tomorrow evening to venture out, then I'm home with a few bottles of wine

They revised my area for 14" to 20". Jeanie, the dogs have a shoveled path for them in the back yard...although Bentley still loves to put his face right into the snow!! lol

And yes, you should be able to adjust the bottom of the snow blower to clear the gravel...thank goodness for my Ariens snowblower!! Best investment ever!!

Did you know that this Blizzard has a name? They started naming winter storms this year like they do tropical storms & hurricanes. This storm is Blizzard Nemo. Sounds too cute to be this bad of a storm, doesn't it?

LOL. I swear someone is manipulating these storms. Why else would they name every dang thing? This is the one they thought we'd never get.

My girls have been praying for a major snow storm since last winter

They are really excited about the prediction for this one (they don't have school on Fridays so not like they will get a day off). I work from home so regardless of the weather I must work

Stay safe everyone and try to enjoy this snowfall!!

JANICE C · 02-07-2013, 10:59 AM

I'm ready (I hope) We are getting 18 plus inches here. Starting here tomorrow around 10am....around 5 or 6pm tomorrow they say 3 to 4 inches per hour. They cancelled school in the city of Boston at 9am this morning. Snow Blower is ready with extra gas.
and we have extra shovels in case anyone want to come help shovel hint hint LOL....l
Stay Safe Everyone.

celstu1 · 02-07-2013, 11:12 AM

I am right in the dark blue area. The 18-24 inches I see on maps but heard up to 33 inches in my area.

We are ready as can be though, hubby chopped fire wood, we'll fill the gas cans for the generator, and both our cars. We have a well so we have water. I guess there is not much to do except get wine, a good book, cuddle up with the dogs and enjoy being snowed in before the many many hours of clean up we'll have. UGH I hate winter!!!! I wish the weather man said "Open your pools everyone it's going to be a scorcher of a weekend and stay that way until OOoohhh September!" LOL

Maximo · 02-07-2013, 11:28 AM

I'll happily trade some boring rain for snow.

We haven't had any to play in this year.

Stay safe and warm everyone!

stanziog · 02-07-2013, 11:29 AM

Exactly. We haven't been getting anything.

Patti · 02-07-2013, 12:24 PM

Stay safe everyone. We had sleet early this morning and then it turned to all snow. It is really snowing here. They say we may get 6-8 inches. I can't deal with anymore. My little snowblower isn't starting half the time. Last year I paid a service for the season and they came out 2 times. Decided couldn't afford it this year and now it's snowing every other day. Wonder where all the neighbor guys are with their big snowblowers that said they'd help after Ken died?

Ellie May · 02-07-2013, 12:34 PM

We are supposed to get 4-8 inches here in Oakland County. Not bad. Maybe we will classes cancelled tonight. Oh yeah..never mind. The colleges here care nothing about safety.

rubymoon2072 · 02-07-2013, 12:47 PM

We are in the 18-24 inch range, however, I'm hearing upwards of 33 inches! YUCK!!!

EarthAngel · 02-07-2013, 02:19 PM

Hoping everyone has all they need at home and won't have to go out. Especially in the high wind areas.

Shelby&Seymour · 02-07-2013, 02:39 PM

My groomers are leaving this weekend to go to the Westminster..... I am so worried about them!! One of them has a dog that will be showing (the dog is probably already there with the handler)...... also to all the YT peeps out there that will be traveling to the show..... Stay safe and be careful!!!

......... and to those that are getting snow in their neighborhood, kick back & stay warm.... call in for a snowday and snuggle with those furkids!
