Northeast Blizzzardeers - how goes it?
Snowing heavily in central Maine - BIG flakes - can hardly see across the street.
Wind is picking up - but Central Maine Power is reporting few outages.
Maybe 5 inches of new snow and piling up fast.
So far - so good.

The 26 YO Corolla is frozen solid.
The 27 YO truck starts up just fine by makes a lot of strange noises at these temps.
If we have power - we will be OK
It's terrible out there and I can barely see a thing outside my window. The mayor was just on television telling people to stay off the streets. It's very dangerous out there. I hope her travel will be easier next week! 
and bundle up.
It's so bad here that I think the kids will be doing the Snow Day Dance tomorrow as well.
Albany schools are closed tomorrow, everything north is being delayed with the option to close being decided by 7am. Today wasn't much of a picnic either.
ago.. I would be reading that screen of NY schools closing.
I lived in Little Falls, NY by Utica.
All Northeasters Keep Warm!
I am very familiar with Little Falls! My mother grew up there and we used to visit my grandmother there! My grandparents ran Staszko's Market on East Main Street, I think! And I'm a graduate of Hamilton College, also near Utica. 
I lived there for 12 years and worked at the Community Co-op. So many amazing people there.. Lots of friends I still communicate with.
My sister was the guidance councilor at the Elementary School where I lived close to.
I don't remember seeing your grandparents' market.. but, that's really cool!
We went to Hamilton to see Al Gore one time and the Dali Lama.. I think that's where we went.
I remember how cold it was, too.. brrrr!
We used to visit my grandmother - who still ran the store and had a beautiful garden out back. You could walk everywhere and my grandmother knew everybody, there was a wonderful Polish bakery nearby and a newsstand where my Dad would take us to get comic books - he'd get a copy of MAD, LOL. 
But you wouldn't remember the market because they built part of the highway through her property and she was forced to sell. I think that was back in the '70s.
And Hamilton is a terrific school - and we did have some impressive guest speakers. The one I remember best was B.F. Skinner. I was a psych major so we got to meet him! He was also a graduate so he made what I think was his last speech there.
from back there. I have such fond memories.. in fact I still dream a lot that I moved back there and the dreams are so real that I hear myself saying in the dreams.. "I really did this!".. well, no. lol
How exciting for you that you got to meet Brilliant psychologist, BF Skinner, at your College.. and his, too.
He had a long and interesting life!

I know that there was just a little scrap of land left and my mother let it go for taxes. It was only a few dollars a year, but it was of no use to anyone because it was just a triangle next to a highway. She was pretty upset.
My grandmother lived above the store and it was very cool for little kids. If we wanted a soda we could just go downstairs and pick one out of this big cooler!
There was a Q&A with B.F. Skinner - but I was unfortunately too overwhelmed to speak up. He spoke before the whole school, but the psych majors got to meet with him up close and personal in the afternoon and I was pretty much in awe of him. And he was not what you'd expect, quite self deprecating with a great sense of humor. And we heard stories, apparently in his undergraduate days "Fred" Skinner was quite a cut up!
