Stay warm and safe all my New England friends

They're saying up to two feet. Probably means eight inches. I'm glad I live in this part of the state. Other areas usually get hit worse than here.

I'm not used to them naming these winter storms. When I hear the name of this storm.................well I just find it a little fishy.

...considering what the weather wonks are calling for, I would advise you, that if a certain Mr. Linoge knocks on your door with his cane...you toss a possum burrito at him through your letter slot and tell him yer armed with a Bushmaster AR-15...

Ummmm....really?

Beats being armed with a teacup and a cookie.

I am holding all of you in my thoughts and prayers. ( keeping fingers crossed that they have over exaggerated the amounts, which they usually do where I live....it is the ones that they don't warn us about that slam us) Hugs to you all!!

Hmm, wonder if they'll ever get corporate sponsorships, what with cutbacks and the sub species of Dodo's (and they don't know they're extinct yet, *SNORT* such silly gooses them Dodos) on our sciencey like committees and stuff, it's only a matter of time I'm thinkin'...

I live just down the road from a ski resort. Alas, with brand new deep powder, I predict having to replace yet another mail box in frozen ground because of drunken skiers attempting to drive home. That will make number 6.

Encase your mailbox in concrete. That'll learn 'em and spare you the expense of replacing your mailbox all the time.

I'm guessing with an entity like Linoge even a Bushmaster wouldn't be significantly improving my odds and I'd end up as one of those accidental death by gun owner statistics.

Pat you are genius!! I'm going to email Jim Cantore and pitch this idea. I don't think it would be a good idea to use a fish stick since this storm is named Nemo (don't want to upset the kiddies all home from school), but I'll try to come up with something good.

As well you should! Seriously, though, I would not want to have to deal with your hot, humid summers or go through hurricane and tornado seasons which is why no matter how bad the winters are here I would never move to a place like Florida or for that matter any of the tornado alley states. Don't think I could handle it.

I've always found the prospect of tornadoes less alarming than hurricanes. With tornadoes, statistically you'll probably never be hit. With hurricanes, if you're in the common pathways, your gonna get it at some point.

But I agree about summer. I hate summer. If I could live somewhere with a temp ranging between 45 and 70, maybe 75 on a hot day, and a decent amount of humidity, I'd be in absolute heaven. (I would miss snow a little bit, but I'd get over it.)
