Think about the roofs if you see more than 2 feet up there. Since it's powder stuff consider cleaning it before any melting in coming days. FLUFF STUFF.,. EASY to clean...but a ton of it.
Question is why do we even bother with any other models in winter ...lol. Euro owns winter forecasting it seems. See if its right this one before we crown it.

On another note, an email was sent to all the dealers from the owner and second in command reminding us employees that tomorrow is a regular work day and we are open...... Any employees who don't come in will use a sick day or vacation day. Nice, huh? One is in California on vacation and the other is in Texas on vacation at his other home. Wtf.
Is that the job in Ridgefield?

I had to go to Walmart to pick up a prescription (otherwise I wouldn't have gone) and I overheard the employees talking with a manager who had a conference call set up with "upper management" to discuss if they were going to close (Walmart) tomorrow. If no one's going to Walmart who the hell is going to a car dealership? All those employees should refuse to show up.

BTW Walmart was cleaned out of bread, but there was some bottled water left.

There's a TRAVEL BAN. Until that's lifted, they can't open. What the hell is wrong with people?

Unless you're a ski area with people staying at a on site hotel expecting to ski(that doesn't exist in Ct), or you are emergency personnel, you should not be expected to go to work

Yep. We decided a villa is the way to go(McLaughlin Anderson). They have been amazing accommodating us so far - especially with this travel nightmare. If their customer service on the phone is anything like what we'll experience in SJ, we'll definitely use them again.

Watching the live camera is so damn cool. With sound too. I hope it survives up there.

Wind blowing the snow off the roof already. Winds gusting to 18mph from Northeast. Temperature 23°. Wind Chill of 12°

Basically a white-out looking across Bryant Park. Can't see the back of the library anymore from across Ave of Americas...

Wind blows tree limb off , tree limb lands on power line, power line sags ,falls to the ground. My daughter had no power (or water)for 6 days in Guilford, fortunately was able to stay at in laws.(February 2013)
