This storm track is exactly like the February 2006 Blizzard. Except that one stalled over us. They had forecasted 10 inches and we got 24 inches!! With snowfall rates at 3-4" per hour!

Will it happen again?? Itssss Heeerreee

Color me jealous. For all this soon-to-be and wanna-be Nutmegger, I feel like I am missing out on the action. My brother is gassing up his snow blower. I am stuck in Las Vegas where work has taken me this week (No I am not bragging... I hate Vegas).

Good luck getting through the storm everyone, and post lots of pictures and videos!
