I'm all batten down, charged devices and power backup, got out the emergency candles, there's plenty of food, and since we don't want to survive on nothing but food and water, stocked up on stronger stuff as well.

but expecting only just a foot or so ...

Sounds like you are all set!

I'm in the bulls eye with 24" on the map, but I'm ready!

8" down at 6:30 AM

bah, blizzard is a bust ...

Not for me, have about 24 on the ground, wind is crazy. Been out since before dawn plowing the driveway.  Done about 8 passes so far.

Less than a foot here, but still no mail delivery! Whatever happen to 'Neither Storms, nor rain, nor snow, nor the dark of night, shall stay these couriers from their appointed routes'?

A new toy? 

how did they do it before the machines came along ...

so now what are we going to do with him?
