i hope we get 2 feet of snow, because i have a car sitting in my perfectly cleaned and salted spot that i need to BURY. if it were any tighter i would not be able to swing into any of the spots, and i would be pinstriping the dicks car who stole my spot.

Man there are already about 230 school closings for tomorrow, except Pete's school and my school lol....

I heard this is going to be the biggest storm we've seen in a few years. WFSB said around 17 inches and some areas could DOUBLE that. awesome!

Do they close 95 during snow storms? I have seen some big storms but never heard of roads closing.

We're getting almost 2 feet, Aaron. I'd say the majority don't need to be on the roads.

we have had it before, much worse than this pansy storm, and there werent this many roads or schools being "pre-closed". i agree most dont need to be on the road, but why push all the traffic into side roads where there will be more accidents than a highway with bumpers down the side?

the first few flakes are starting to fall here.

3+" in Greenwich already.

The idiots mobbing the supermarkets are hysterical.
You'd think they were going to be snowed into Donner Pass for a month.
WTF??? Stay home. You don't have ONE DAY worth of food in your house?
Tomorrow will be bad but everything will be clear on Thursday.

I swear, the next Yukon, X5, Land Rover or G'cedes I see in a ditch..... I'm NOT going to offer to pull them out.
The safest place for them (and us) is off the road.
All the Anti lock and Traction Control in the world can't fix stupid.
