    True. I skated down the driveway to my car this morning.

    I'm making full preparations (AKA buying an extra 1/2 gallon of milk).

    I can't take it anymore. I'm going nuts with all this snow. Mobility down to zero. No place to put the snow anymore. Can't see around the snow banks while driving. At least I don't have to pump snow out of my cellar, which I'm sure I'd be doing if all this were rain. Why didn't great grandpa settle in Miami when he came over from the old country?

    Yeah, you guys have been getting hammered. That sucks. This one is only bringing a couple icy inches by me.

    This is the first winter I remember that all you right coasters are getting blitzed while Wisconsin & Minnesota (the great midwest frozen tundra) have so far really been "skating along" with minimal inconvenience.

    One can wish, but I suspect payback will be a bitch before the winter ends.

    While I absolutely love the summers in central/western NY, I don't miss these winters anymore. Last year in Baltimore was like a light winter in Syracuse, which still sucks. I can deal with the cold better than the heat, but I no longer have any patience with snow. I've had enough for several lifetimes. Good luck to NY/MA through this next frozen wave.

    Got lucky this afternoon, I was digging out the car (again) and a nice man in a JCB asked if I needed any help, 10 minutes later one spotless parking spot. The mountains of snow on the streets are starting to get stupid.

    We haven't had any significant new snow in a while, but it was -40 here yesterday with the wind chill. Celsius or Fahrenheit you ask? It's all the same at -40.
