Update The storm is winding down now and we still have power... Thank God.... The winds have died down too. The snow has turned to rain and it is very messy. We did have a lot of snow but the rain is making it shrink and heavy. We just shoveled the mess and now the temps will drop and freeze the slush. We will have an icy driveway and sidewalk but we have salt and sand to put on it. We made out and did not get the worst of the storm. Yeah. Thanks!

It sounds good from my easy chair. So glad you kept power.

Thanks for the update. I came to check on you first thing.

Wet snow has got to be the worse! It's still snowing here and there is 30" on the ground - the weather folks are calling for another 8" before it is all done, but at least it is "sugar snow", not the "heart attack", "power line snapping" stuff you're having. Hope the electric stays on and you and yours stay safe. Hugs from CNY*

Difficult for me to imagine what you are going through as we are suffering with the heat here in S. Africa. Keep safe

I hope you don't suffer too much and that you are safe and snug.

Prayers for your safety- Try to think positively warm. We had an ice storm 2 years ago, no power for 8 days....

It's good you know what to do and how to live in these conditions. I'm can't stand the cold!

I want the warmth now... I am tired of winter. We new Englanders are always prepared for this weather. Thanks!

I know you have to be. When we went to Maine in October, some places were already boarded up for the winter. It was the end of the tourist season. They said the week after we left they got their 'nor'easterner winds' and blew all the pretty foliage off the trees. We were lucky to have seen it, in its beauty.

Hi, I also am in a blizzard warning but I am in the Pocono's in PA and they are telling us we can get up to 30 inches of snow. I don't care how much snow we get, we can deal with that it's the power. Just praying we don't loose it. Everyone stay safe. My family and I aren't going anywhere. Arlene

Thanks we will be OK New Englanders are a tough breed with the weather.

I don't think it is going to get us in metro Atlanta. The north GA mountains may see some snow. I can not believe it was 77 degrees here a couple of days ago. Stay safe and pray your power does not go out. Kay
