The suppertime forecast predicted that we'd have a heavy snowfall over night starting at 9:00 resulting in 12" or more of snow.The snow started almost at 9 on the nose,they also predicted winds up to 75 mph and they have started too because you can hear the heavy gusts almost constantly now.Where we are only about 200' from the ocean the wind blows right across it where it picks up even more speed and inevitably ends up dropping all the snow that it has gathered up on the way right at the end of our lane,often resulting in 12' drifts and of course there's not a 4X4 made that could go through that deep a drift.

Needless to say with expectations of the storm everything is closed down tomorrow because this is expected to be the worst storm of the winter we've had up to this point. It's funny,but with all the fine,clear weather we've had in the past few days almost all the snow that fell up until now had all but melted but really it was only making room for more.I hope that the medical labs are open tomorrow because I'm supposed to get my bloodwork done to check my Warfarin levels 3 times a week and if I fail to do this I'll probably have to wait longer to start my Remicade infusions.

We're supposed to be hit with a warm high pressure system by Saturday too.It's 12:50 now and I just looked outside,it's blowing that hard that the snow is actually "falling" horizontally,so there hasn't been much of an accumulation since it all started almost 4 hours ago.I had a feeling that it possibly wouldn't amount to much,but then again by 7:00 A:M the snow could be up around the windows in my truck,but my gut feeling is that it'll all peter out.

Your a tougher man than I Guitslinger. That kind of weather would have chased me off a long time ago. Stay worm and safe. Shivvveeer.
----Danny,

Here in South Western Pennsylvania, we've had a mild winter, a few inches of snow a couple times, very little low temps. I was glad for that.

Good luck on getting your blood work.

I feel for you guys. We didn't get winter this year, about 3 cold days, maybe 2 inches of snow, today is 12 C. And I'm still thinking of moving south to get away from the cold.

Good luck with the doc's.

.... and here we are in n.w. ohio, with snow on sunday night, and a temperature of close to 70 predicted for today
