Seems like a heck of a storm that'll bring lots of snow to... lots of the country from Texas up to NY. Seems like @aqua-letifer 's home town in the western Maryland panhandle and WV and PA will get some of the peak levels.

My windchill right now is -35, supposed to hit -37 at 2am. The schools have a rare canceled school day tomorrow because of it, I think their policy is anything under -30. Wimps.

Sometimes it's easy to forget how cold -35 is. Not really, but nonetheless if you think about it, the temp has to RISE 60 DEGREES before you even hit the point where water begins to not freeze.

Actually, not at all.

I miss getting 6" of snow; it was so easy making a snowman back in the 70's. Now we get an inch, a couple of times each winter, such is the effect of global warming.

I think we might feel the same way next week.

And my 23 year old son is going to be spending the weekend snowed in with his GF in Newport News while his 53 year old father farther will be shoveling snow…

Yeah I'll be shoveling our walk and around my car (which I park on the street despite having a garage - long story). My plan is to do it every few hours so I don't have a heart attack it doesn't pile up too much.

I’m grabbing a few tarps today. Plan to lay them on the sidewalks Saturday night, and every few hours toss the accumulated snow into the yard… Will still need to dig out the cars, but will cover them as well.

@lufins-dad Snow gets real heavy, real fast. Be careful please.

People in Quebec often tent their vehicles, then pole off the accumulations. I’ve never done this, but my vehicle has only been buried twice.

I'm buying a garden shovel today to be able to break through ice (which is expected to cover the snow) and to grab manageable loads as compared to the large snow shovel I usually use. I'll get bundled up and go out every time there's another 4-5" of accumulation. Fortunately most of it is coming during the day.

I fear no snowstorm.

Don't forget your hoe

@mark the GOAT, I love seeing that pic. I wish I had one of those $14,000 stand-behind 4-wheel BOSS snow plows, that would be fun.

In other words, you'll be a grandfather by October?
