We are supposed to get the largest storm that we've had yet this year totaling up to 6-12" for the area.  I guess other places are supposed to get up 14".  It will make for some nice pictures.  Below is a forecast from central PA. 

A WINTER STORM WARNING is in effect for all of south central PA. Here We Go!!  A coastal low is headed our way, keeping us cold enough for snow and with the storm tracking close to the coast, it will give us plenty of snow.  Right now it looks like much of our viewing area will receive about 6 to 12 inches of snow. Some places in eastern Lancaster, Chester, Berks and towards the Poconos could have over a foot of snow.  The storm could also provide heavy snow and  ice problems for the Delmarva and New Jersey.  We should expect the snow to begin midmorning Monday and become intense for the Afternoon and Evening hours.  It will thin out Monday Night, but still possibly drop another inch or two.  We'll also have the winds pick up Monday, becoming rather blustery in the Afternoon and early evening.  The March Lion is a day early, but one we'll have to dig out of.

Just got back from lunch and it's actually snowing big ol flakes here in Oklahoma right now.

Only problem is that it's 39 degrees. 

Pretty to watch though.....

I hear you Kevin.  It is just as bad as when the storm is hitting and you are you are at work and have to try to get home.....

Many's the night I had to plow into the top of my drive burying my Buick to the fenders lol....I would then dig it out in the morning.  If I feel energetic that late I have left it in the road with the flashers on and blown a parking spot for it at the top and finished up in the am.  All depends on my mood.

I'm sorry to hear you guys cannot enjoy this great storm with more relaxation and contentment.  I should be able to enjoy all of it without too many problems concerning work.  It's really really comin down right now.  Faster than you can say cheese, those flakes are flying.  I would like to get 2 uses with this storm, but we'll see.  If I clear in the dark pictures probably won't be good if I take any. 

Yeah Chris, you're going to get hammered up there in NH.

There calling for 9 to 15" in the Boston area, with another 1 to 3" in flurries all day Tuesday ending Wednesday.

I wish that more of it would come my way because I haven't used the blower but only once this season. 

When piled up we did get 1'.  About 5 inches on the drive and I was content when I could blow the backyard.  The blower now has 1.4 hrs. of use.  Soon time for the break-in oil change.  There is still gas that was treated with Tecumseh's stabilizer, and I am wondering how long it will last.   I didn't get to see the packet because the dealer already put in for me. 

we only got around 4" or so, but nonetheless blowing it was a harrowing experience, to say the least.  I don't have time to elaborate right now, but let's just say i pulled off a seriously boneheaded move this morning, and but by the grace of my well built machine did i get out of it.

We ended up with about 8".  It took almost two years but I finally figured out the best pattern for blowing my driveway.  Keeps the snow out of the garage and off the neighbor's driveway and the street.  Made possible by the Toro QuickStick.

This is our best snowfall so far this year and I am finally giving the Ariens a decent workout . I cleared about 8” from the driveway this AM so I could get to work. Intermittent bands of snow have been coming through all day so I’d guess we will get at least 12” from this one.

Only 4 inchs for us.  I was coming down like a monster for awhile last night but it looks like it swung south and then up the coast away from us.  Fine by me lol....

Coming down pretty hard again right now though.
