Holy cow, it was craaazy! I forgot to get lunchmeat Sunday and I didn't know about the weather until this morning. I stood in line at the deli for 20 minutes. I high-tailed it out of there after picking up some milk. We could go for weeks here without a grocery run, but . . if we run out of milk for the coffee?

Alas, I started the chicken for chicken n' dumplings this morning, realized the box of Bisquick has less than a cup in it. So rather than play around with from scratch, ran to the store and picked some up. Even got cherry pie fixings. My friends for over 25 years and next door neighbors for the last decade or so, are coming for dinner tonight, unless her hubby gets 'stuck' downtown, the hotels are giving $75 rooms and blizzard party tonight. LOL! He's a VP at the Merc, pretty sure he could get home early, but I wouldn't if him. 
Anybody who cant see that is most definately a metal case!!
I just pray we don't loose power....it could get pretty cold!

Emergency coffee supplies!
Everyone here is fine. The kiddos are bored.
But I can't seem to get numbers on what's coming, and that kind of bugs me. All anybody is saying is "potentially damaging" ice and the winds will "increase", that we should prepare for "severe" winter weather conditions but I've never seen a forecast with no numbers, on any of the usual sources.
I'm not sure if that means we could possibly, maybe get lucky....or if they're just afraid to tell us.
I was out shoveling around 2:15, it's 3:17 now. There is more than 4" on my walk. Problem is it's blowing all over the place. The entrance of my house is sort of like a terrace, 3 sides protected, so there's like a vortex being created. Mini-tornado.
Worse is the driveway, can't tell I ever shoveled. I'm not as worried about that, the association will plow that when the snow stops.
Out the back way, patio through sliding doors? Only if I have to, it's already beyond the step and about 2" beyond the glass. No way has that much snow fallen this quickly, it's the wind. We're going to see fearsome drifts.

Those drifts can be a killer. I remember the last really big storm I was here for, the nor'easter in '96. We only got about 2 1/2 feet of snow but the drifts were so bad I literally had to dig around and look for my car. I couldn't even see the radio antenna!
