2. Hey that would be great to have the Super Bowl there this year
A game between two Dome Teams.

I remember growing up in North Philly in the early 60's, so much snow traffic came to a halt and we'd make tunnels through the snow out in the streets.

are letting out early. Snow here - near Reading, north/west of Philly, expected to be 10"-16", worse to the south and east.\
New Jersey shore towns expecting blizzard conditions with heavy beach erosion.
Supposed to start here about 5pm last till 7 pm Saturday.
Another possible storm next week, too.

We just came back from the supermarket, ready to be snowed in for a day or so.

5. Nah, 18 inches just means you don't get the driveway shoveled
Edited on Fri Feb-05-10 10:34 AM by Warpy
until noon, and that includes 3 or 4 times after that damn plow comes through.

I've gotten to work in Mass. after a 2+ foot snowfall, only to find out the governor has shut down the state and banned travel.

6. It's not the amount of snow that's the problem.
It's going to be the light, fluffy kind that slicks up the roads - that, and the high winds that are coming along with it. During the December storm, we had a lot of old trees coming down.
