Hey Jacon We are about an hour from Boston in Massachusetts. They are estimating 3 feet for our area! Would love to be in Charlotte for the next month lol! But this is nothing we haven't seen before, Blizzard of 78 power was out for a week!  Plenty of food, water, gas for the generator, batteries, flashlights, plows on the truck & bed is filled with sand. We Massholes are a hardy bunch! :)

Yikes @ Boston! Yep, you are gonna get hammered if weather man is correct. I actually like snow the first day, it's very soothing watching it fall plus it muffles sound so very quiet, after that though, noooooooooooooooooo ooooooo, it gets dirty and just painful.

 Blizzard of 78 power was out for a week!

Actually, i got a VERY GOOD deal on a 1730 Boston gateleg table in 2011? i think, why? because new england was shut down from another snow storm and no one could get online to bid because no power!

Hi Wendy,

I am right in the eye of this blizzard in the Boston-Plymouth Area. They think we might get 60 to 70 mile an hour winds on the coast.  Thankfully, most people around here still remember the blizzard of 78 so they tend to stay home and off the roads.  With the timing the meteorologists are predicting there should not be a rush hour drive home like in 78.  Many businesses have already cancelled work for tomorrow.  I am a school teacher and early this morning they sent out notices and cancelled school for tomorrow. 
 My family also has a home on the Cape so I hope the storm surge won't be to high.

Well, in watching the Times Square live snow cam @ 1.29 a.m. Tues morning, you see a few people wandering around but no cars driving
http://www.nbcnews.com/watch/live-video/watch-live-new-york-city-snow-cam-322484291648

Just checked cam again, blizzard better hurry up, it doesn't seem to be doing much at 6 a.m.!
