few inches of light snow for today, tomorrow 2-3" per hour.

Think the Possum Van will be in drydock for tomorrow.

I know a lot of regulations are relaxed in VT, but possums shouldn't
be driving in the first place. They're horrible drivers and don't
wear seat belts. That's why you see them lying dead on the road after
they've been ejected from the car. Very sad.

We're getting what looks to be a relatively minor ice storm on LI.
How much are they predicting you'll get, Red?

Why not possums? Dead and/or blind people are allowed to drive in all 50
states.

Plus they need so many phone books piled-up to be able to see over the
dashboard that the books themselves are a safety hazard.

In my area (Ontario), they're predicting up to 10" by tomorrow afternoon.
But given their accuracy so far this winter, I think we'll get an inch.

I'm in Ontario too, and since we've dodged all the "big ones" so far
this winter, a foot or more won't surprise me at all. Then again, nor
will 4 inches.

8-14" northern VT, 11-18 further south. Last storm they said 1-3 & got 10.

What really ****es me off is the HUD Wreck reno where I just moved from,
again, in Ft Bragg NC...tomorrow 71 degrees. But no one is shootin' at me
here counts I guess.

Gald I wasn't here in VT last Jan. New Years storm 33".

Back when SNL was funny. I tape it - watch the intro- FF to the

Western NY. We had 8-16 inches snow predicted for Wednesday
Feb 02, 2011. Actual measure on the back step is about 2
inches new snow.

Well, here in Tulsa we aren't used to heavy snows. We had 14 inches
yesterday and it may take the rest of the week to start getting
back to normal. There are hardly any cars moving on the streets,
they can't get around the ones that are stuck, including a few
snow plows. I expect the snow you are supposed to get is what
we had yesterday.

So true. I can watch SNL now in about 5 minutes with a DVR and FF. The
only episode I missed so far *was* the Betty White one )-: so I've been
watching the rerun listings to try again. Saw her in "Community" though -
hilarious. Especially the blowgun and "getting dirt roaded" parts. I hope
I still have my chops like she does when I am her age. I can remember her
from B&W TV and "Password." She has real comic timing and like Cloris
Leachman has become one of the few highly successful "grandma" comedians.

Gotta go charge up all my batteries for the coming storm of the century.
Wait, wasn't that the three feet of snow we had in last year's storm of the
century?

FWIW, the local news dreamed up a new weather condition. Last night, we
were told to expect "ice pellets" as if some angry giant with a huge pellet
gun was up in the clouds. Last time I checked those pellets were known as
hail, and in this case, never materialized. It did seem to inspire more
panic than usual, though.

No thank you!

Been there many times including the 1998 northeast ice storm. Iced for like
5 days. Montreal hit hard. Takes a lot to take these down.

We ended up getting maybe half of the 10" they originally promised, but the
wind piled it up into drifts well over a foot high.

Ice pellets and hail are VASTLY different animals. More like sleet,
but different again.
