I meant if you get stuck when driving in 4 wheel drive you most likely wont get unstuck.

I haven't gotten stuck either...

I heard that the city of Detroit and southern suburbs got a little more, but up here in Rochester, 4 sounds about right.

We have about 4-5" here now, at the snow hasnt peaked yet.... the weatherman said it should peak around 8 or 9 tonight... but who believes the weathermen anyways?

Why am I not surprised.

The little desert outpost I have been exiled to finally got snow this past week. They're having a really bad drought.

I just found out about the storm in NH this afternoon when my oldest daughter called me on the phone because she was frightened. Her father hadn't made it home yet because the storm had slowed him down. Fortunately, all four kids and their father are safely home now. They'll have fun with their sleds tomorrow!

Maybe I'll mail them some hot chocolate mix.

ARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I live in Ithaca, NY (about 1/2 mile from nearest Cornell Edu building and 1 mile from Borg Warner) and it snowed from last night to... STILL SNOWING right now.

Somehow, EVERY single school district bordering us closed off except our wonderful ICSD administration... oh, did I mention the Superintendent has extended her vacation and is still in Florida today???

Basically, around a foot of snow already around here, probably close to two feet by tomorrow morning.

But on the subject of school, luckily, the principal got some sense knocked into him enar the end of 4th period (11:20am) and announced 8th period would be cut and school would end at 1:05pm rather than 2:37pm.

Good luck to any of you going to the Manchester Kickoff! I'm watching it with friends on Nasa tomorrow.

If you are there, you may be all right, but the highways are probably going to be bad.
Darn, Darn Darn, Sunny and 75 degrees in Phoenix again tomorrow. Chamber of Commerce Weather, Streets are clear and free of snow but not snow birds - lots of folks from Ohio here for the Fiesta Bowl.

Bad thing is that the weather will be about the same for the regional in March, only 2 snow bound teams took the advantage to travel to Phoenix for the regional. Thanks teams 68 and 222 - you have made a wise choice.

And about the same here in LA. Four or five years ago our team leader and I had 3 flights cancelled out from under us trying to get to the Kickoff. We finally arrived with about 5 hours to spare (and sleep). I am SOOOOO grateful for remote kickoffs. But I miss the party at Dean's. Of course I missed it that year anyway.

Anybody want to change their minds about which Kickoff to attend?

The snow will not stop. I love it!! Man, we got jipped last year in Nashua, NH, and now we have two nor easters. This is great! Only one issue with it though, does anyone know if the kickoff telecast at BAE will still take place. I assume it will, but you never know......
