14" to 27" "possible".

We got 10", very little wind.

To my location, we'll be among the last to see it. Wonder how much we'll actually get here.

Used to snow like this at least once a winter when I was a kid. Once it got cold, it stayed winter until April or May.

Once in I think about 1965 in Wisconsin, and once again during the blizzard of 1993 in Tennessee. Pretty amazing both times. We didn't get anything but a dusting yesterday, enough to make the friend I carpool with call off the drive to church (which is an hour north of us and probably did get some), but the HQ of my husband's compahy in Frederick, MD, is reporting 4-5 inches and everyone was told to stay home if they didn't live right next door. Oh well, next week at this time we'll be in the USVI and I might not come back!

oh yeah, a few mountain locations got a foot or more, but on top of almost nothing.. very sad winter in the Colorado mountains.

Are really suffering serious drought this winter. My friends in Idaho and Montana are telling me there's nothing there until you get above 9000ft... that's bad for this time of year. Going to be a lot of fires come summer.

Very scary. We've already had several high fire danger days. Hoping for a cool wet summer,
The climate she's a changing

LonGiland... Always wondered how to spell that correctly!


This was a typical snowstorm where I used to live in Montana... 20 years ago. Taken from 2nd floor window, my neighbor blowing snow in his driveway.

I'm from further north, know people from there, just never was sure whether to keep the 's' mostly.
