We're New Englanders. We can deal with anything.

The blessing for us is that 99% of the time, we have two or three day's notice that a storm is coming. Though that doesn't mean that people won't wait until the last minute. I wouldn't set foot near a store tonight.

Once again we're kinda lucking out with the worst of the storm hitting on the weekend, and hopefully there will be minimal people on the road. Every school district here has already cancelled for tomorrow and events everywhere are cancelled. We're still going to work but we get out early every Friday anyway. People that can work from home are going to (jealous).

All my disaster supplies are ready... non-perishable food, candles, water, extra firewood, flashlights, gas tank, etc. Plus movies and books from the library.

I'm picturing a nice, relaxing night in front of the fireplace, reading, watching the snow fall out the window on Friday night. (I'm wishing someone was here to share in the disaster experience with me.)

Then hours of shoveling hell on Saturday.

My only fear is a long-term power loss (fear of frozen pipes) and that the heavy snow doesn't take down the trees that already didn't come down in any of our hurricanes or other disasters.
