They are naming storms that are Normal weather for ratings. Better snow than ice.

All they do is hype!!! I listen, then look out the window....that tells the true story.... although they did change our totals here to 12-18 inches now, (it was 3-6) that's still not the worst of it by any means...we already did that once this season...stay safe east coast friends!!

It really is a joke and more than 50% of the time, a "huge" storm ends up to be nothing here, in Buffalo. After nearly 16 years here (30 years on the Jersey Shore), I have not once lost electricity due to a winter storm. The ice storm of several years ago was an exception but even then, stores were open, no worries. Many years ago (2000?) we experienced a dump of 5' (yes, feet) in two hours. No loss of anything and I still made it to school and back home that day. Naming these storms is ridiculous and the hype is even worse. People here in Buffalo laugh at this stuff and it's business as usual. I've never gotten stuck in the snow and no, I don't have 4 wheel drive.

Blizzard warnings, high wind warnings, coastal flooding warnings here.

Same prep as for a hurricane except you need more blankets for when the heat goes off and dont have to worry about the perishables in the fridge - just stick em in the snow if need be.

Fun part is being able to use the winter toys while you wait for them to clean it all up. So sleds, toboggans, cross country skis, snowmobiles and the like will finally be put to use.

And, it is supposed to be a heavy wet snow here. Good snowperson making snow!

Whatever will be will be...I just hope our fish don't die this time

I'm well prepared.
Crazy weather has just become the norm here. In the past 18 months we've gone weeks without electricity due to hurricanes and freak storms. Just last week we had a windstorm that ripped three trees out of the ground in my yard, one of which landed on my barn.
I can deal with a few feet of snow and an extended power outage, but no more falling trees, please.

If anything, because we're all stuck inside from the closed roads and heavy snow, we'll probably all just catch up on a lot of threads here. Or Facebook games.

Or I'll finally break down and clean my house.
