youre doomed because you live in Boston. the snow has nothing to do with it and the level of suck Boston brings to the table.

It is snowing wicked hard in E. Hartford CT right now. So this ain't no joke. And hey why not take precautions if you are able to do so. That's my stance.

Burning car and snow FTW.

About three inches in Danbury right now. Worked last night - was sleeping, and the wifey came in and woke me up. "Dude, a car is on fire in the parking lot..." Unfortunately, this is the best shot I got - next shot,, flames where out. The whole car was engulfed at one point, just before the fire crew showed up.

We live in a palace.

Sounds like a normal winter forecast. The chance of snow for me has not dropped below 60% since last Sunday. This Sunday is supposed to be clear then it is 70%+ chance of snow again through Tuesday night. At work we went from about 6-10" on the ground last Friday to me hiking around in waist deep snow today.

We added it up a over 40" of snow in the past 8 days. A little less down in town and it effected almost nothing around here. If I remember right none of the schools even had a snow day.

Now I wish they cleared the roads around here like they do in the East. The main highway here was clear of snow for one afternoon. I couldn't believe I followed a plow truck down a snow covered road, he was spreading sand but had his blade lifted:disgust1:
