the 4wd is all gassed up and ready. They're only predicting 6-12 here, over 2 days. that's entirely manageable. But also predicting VERY strong winds. that could cause trouble. Downed lines, drifts, etc... Good ol' gas fireplace requires no electricity, plenty -o- grub, it'll be just fine.

About the same here (*just* to the right side of the Delaware River).
My school is closed all day today due to this......maybe I can get a little work done on the Austin today.
Tuesday night we had a <span style="font-style: italic">sudden</span> increase in snow around 8:20 PM and I let my night class out early (normally we run until 8:45 PM).
My Miata had about 4" of snow on the roof when I got out to it. It took me 30 minutes to exit my faculty <span style="text-decoration: underline">parking lot</span> (about 100 yard drive) due to the backup of people all leaving our campus at the same time.
Then I was on our "Campus Drive" (about a 3/4 mile internal road) for about 20 minutes before I was actually able to get off campus.
At one point on Campus Drive, there was a huge jam-up where two cars were stuck and couldn't make it up a slight hill. The two cars that were stuck were a Camaro and a Mustang (both RWD). There was about 20 students and campus security trying to push the two pony cars up the hill. Meanwhile, a 4-wheel drive Suburban had tried to jump a curb to pass the two cars and had gotten stuck diagonally.
It was like watching a <span style="font-style: italic">Laurel and Hardy</span> movie. :laugh:
Turned out the Mustang was a guy from my class.
As I approached this little hill in the road, I left a little "gap" in front of me and took a rolling "run" at it. I cruised right up it in my RWD sports car.
Blizzaks rule!
I waved at the stuck Mustang as I went by.
Our local weather prediction is at or close to 100% chance of snow all day today.
I have three RWD cars (plus an Accord I never drive). I haven't gotten stuck once this Winter. [knocks MGB wooden shift knob/] :wink:

I have Blizzaks on my daily driver Miata also. We get a good show once or twice a year, but nothing like the NE. I have not found anything that stopped me yet. A lot of it is the driver. Like you said you left a gap and made a run at it.

I was in NC from Sunday till Tuesday AM. I was taking a look at the weather Monday evening and realized i might not make it home as planned. Developed a "Plan B" which was to rent a car in BOS and drive home. Thankfully i did not need the car. I made an earlier flight out of BOS to home, saved myself a 5+ hour layover. Made it home before the storm moved in. We got dumped on, about 14 inches of the white stuff fell here in my little corner of Vermont. More on the way today.
good weather for sugarin tho. Going to need snow shoes this year to get into the bush.
C'Mon Spring!!!
