It's 65 and sunny in SoNE today. My south-facing deck is around 70. I might just have a beer.

I drove the Miata in to work today with the top down and no jacket. I can't complain.
Although, I am going to Vermont this weekend. That forecast isn't looking good.
More winter weather harassment coming on Tuesday for the entire Northeast. Predicting 12-18" and possibly 24" in some areas, with 30-50 mph wind. Gotta stock up on milk and bread at the grocery store ... and beer and wine too. Around this time of year I'd much rather be putting the snow blower away and prepping the Miata for another driving season. Looks like that'll have to wait another week or two.
they still do not know what we are getting. could be 3 inches, could be 24. Sucks to be on the edge of the worst of it.
Silly me...Leaving the warmth and comfort of Texas and spending 2 weeks in Toronto and Montreal for work. This promises to be interesting. I looked and it wasn't suppose to be above freezing for a while during my visit. It's been awhile since I've even seen snow.
Yep, tomorrow's storm is going to be something that should be respected. They are talking 4" per hour starting mid-day. Going to be a good one.
I already told my employees to bug out early today. Noon or sooner if they want (And they will still get paid for a full day) to get things in order this afternoon so they don't have to be scrambling tomorrow morning as the storm starts to get rolling. Many have kids so it is important for them to be able to get things done before the kids get out of school.

That was nice of you. My work asked what my plans were for making it in. To be fair, they did offer to put employees up in a hotel tonight, but there's no way I'm doing that.
A couple of times previously I gave thought of putting the snow blower away and taking the Blizzaks off.
Glad I procrastinated.
We're looking at 8-10" on the ground by 9am and 18+" total predicted. Work is closed. That's the first time that has ever happened in 8 years here.
I think we've had something like 4-5" of snow year to date this winter...current forecast puts central PA anywhere from 10-24". Was supposed to be in Delaware for training today and tomorrow, that's now been canceled and it's looking doubtful that I'll be working at all tomorrow. Fine with me, I'll be out ripping donuts all day 
We had 4 inches yesterday.
Its all gone now.

It is just the right thing to do.
Yeah, we're ready for some hardass weather that the Bob Costas states can't even understand. What ... maybe an F1 tornado today?
On the good side of things I had a meeting this morning in Boston. My client insisted we have it. I get there only to learn that the contractor bugged out so instead my client and I talked shop over coffee and I ended up with a couple 100k of new business.
So I let everyone out yesterday early. I make a meeting today and this happens.
I am a happy camper at the moment.
Woke up this morning to find out my daughter thought the extension cord for the sump pump would be better served running the treadmill. 6" of water in basement. Gonna need a bunch of dump runs. Hopefully not too many car parts are ruined.
In reply to tr8todd: Oh jeeze. That sucks man.

Dam that sucks. Got to love having kids.
We ended up with about a foot of snow but it is the heaviest snow I have seen in a long time. My snow blower was not happy at all. Then the plows come by last night and put a foot or more of it back across my driveway that froze solid. I had to drive up and over it with my truck get out. I came back and ran the wife's h2 back and forth across it a bunch of times to crush it in to ice power but there was still a bunch of ice balls that were 1-2 feet in diameter that I had to pick up by hand and move. The snow blower then made short work of the rest. It was launching the crushed ice chunks dam near 100 feet. I heard them bouncing off the metal cover on the telephone pole up the street that protects the wires running down underground. Made me chuckle.
This storm was all around a PITA. I don't mind two feet of the light fluffy stuff. But a foot of wet concrete sucks. Then it all froze last night and today we are going to be lucky to get above 15 degrees.
Spring can not come soon enough.
I think I will get out the tabogin and take a couple runs down the hill out back. The snow is solid so it should work well. Wife thinks I am crazy. LOL
We got about 20 inches here, wind is picking up straight from the only direction I can throw snow! We were to leave for vacation today. glad we changed it to April 2nd.
Saw on weather.com that three people died in New England yesterday due to traffic accidents and they're blaming this storm. How many people die in traffic accidents every other day in New England? I honestly think this is an improvement over the usual.
6:15 this morning I'm making sandwiches for the kids lunches. Wife is ready to leave for work when she decides she wants a bottle of water. None in pantry so she heads to the basement to get a new case of water. Next thing I hear is her flipping out. Go to see whats going on and there she is standing in shin deep, ice cold, crystal clear water. Got to love those fluorescent bulbs and how long they take to give actual light once you turn them on. Since she was already wet, she got the honor of plugging the pump back in while standing in 6" of water.
This is the single biggest snow fall locally since '93. I got one car free and made it to work. The Wife has another day off so it is on her to dig out the other car.
We got about two feet here. It took me 3 hours to plow my 600 foot hilly driveway. The snow got so heavy from it being right at freezing it was hard to push it out of the way.
I ended up having to push it off at extreme angles going up the hill 10 feet at a time.
Only had to dig the truck out three times...
