18-24” is the current prediction here starting about 1pm on Sunday and going through Tuesday morning followed by bitter cold and wind. Patriots watch parties are being cancelled all over the state as no one wants to “host” their friends for 2-4 days after!!!

Yup

I made a lasagna a few days ago and it's been taunting me, covered in the bottom of the fridge, ever since. Tonight we get to start cutting into it, with a big salad and a bottle of a nice Chianti Reserva. I also made a pot of soup and we've stuffed the pantry and freezer with food.

It seems like the major winter storm is going to head east and southeast here in the USA. We're being warned about 1-3" on Sunday. I'm waiting for this to change because I just can't quite trust it.

It's sunny and gorgeous outside, and it keeps the sunroom cozy. Bex keeps demanding to go out, being tricked by the sun. She's spent a total of 3 minutes outside. Tough girl!

7°F at the moment, clear blue sky. Accuweather claimed our high would only be 5°F. Losers.

Part of a well-balanced diet!

They've refined storm total to 9-15" now. Still sleet and ice as well.

For my hunting friends. LOL

Princess made beef stew last night so I’ll be having that shortly along with a toasty baguette. We’ve have plenty of food, adult beverages and the snowblower is gassed up. As the Patriots like to say this season - We all we got. We all we need.*


*we need some verbs apparently

A bit of manly restraint never hurts...

MLW and I swung by the supermarket this afternoon and it was normal. No runs on anything.

I’m sure the stores in DC and Baltimore metro areas were crazy.

Home made chicken noodle soup tonight. If we forgot anything, I’ll get it in the morning. I think the snowblower will fit up the porch steps so I’ll put it up there tomorrow. I’ll move the vehicles to the others use of the driveway to give me a straight shot, to start off.

@terri I want to know more about that bird bath heater!

5° here in Boston area. The sun is out and it’s not windy so it’s manageable if you have to go outside and have the appropriate layers. But it’s bitter cold in the shade - even the dog came right back in without being called.

-13f here in Vermont.

Wind chills in the -20 to -40f

I wish we were getting snow. We're supposed to get over a half inch of ice. If we do the power will be out for days. And Tuesday the low will be 6. That will be a new record for here. Salt in the wound I say.

Agreed - ice is the worst. Even small amounts are heavy enough to down power lines and create havoc on the roads. Fingers crossed for you!

We're at a balmy 6°F at the moment, and locally the expected snow amounts have gone from 1-3" to 3-6" tomorrow.

I wouldn't care, really, except I have to get my mom to an outpatient appointment for a minor procedure Monday morning. I'm preparing to scramble!
