Oh boy someone is missing. No surprise who.

It never ends. They can change the actors but the show remains the same.

Relax Cp. Breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. Pins and needle needles and pins it's a happy man that grins.

Intense band Frank was describing moving here has been ripping over head the last hour

and hours ago they said cp measured at 6 inches..maybe there is something in her hot chocolate!

To put this in perspective, this is Main Street. On a clear day, if someone was standing in front of one of these businesses you could see how many fingers they were holding up from here.

Winds and snow really picking up in southern nassau. Looks like tropical force winds outside.

8" snow, 29.5*, 81% humidity. Moderate snow

14 inches on average. Winds still out of the NE 20 mph. Barometer still falling 29.7

Confirmed 8" mugs, a little sleet mixing in... had a little break in the wind and shoveled a little bit, not too light and fluffy I tell you!

dk that sucks, I'm 20 miles due south of you and it's been ripping here since 8am. The damn gradient we've been talking about all week must be right south of you. I've been there so I can totally sympathsize and it sucks, to close for comfort right now.

Heavy snow here and a guesstimate of 5 inches so far all since 7:30 am or so this morning.

I hate Upton. Mt Holly does a much better job of updating info. Upton just now put me in 24-30. Frank is like the wizard of OZ. Behind the curtain with computers in hand.
