Hunker down, New England! This is gonna be a big one!

Stock up now...this looks like the real deal, possibly the biggest storm in 30 years. Yowza! Time to wax up the snowboard.

1. Make sure your tires are properly inflated

Btw I'm a Pats fan and I think the whole thing is nonsense but I couldn't resist

2. So long as the power doesn't go out for four days again

Yeah, I know some places had it even worse, but that does not change the extreme suckage of 4 days without power, heat, or hot food.

3. This is a weird Winter - Mid-Michigan has yet to get a substantial snow fall

We've had a few that approached 3 or 4 inches, and it's been cold, but nothing compared to last year's record snow fall and low temperature nightmare. Of course, there's still time plenty of time but few things would make me happier than an early, warm Spring.

9. Same in southern WI. And the skunks have been doing January walk-abouts

While I expect that our weather will regress toward the mean, I'm also hopeful for it running mild all the way 'til April.

10. I don't think we've even had any weather related school closings, yet

Last year they went WAY over the scheduled snow days.

11. We did have school closings this winter in anticipation of snow problems

that turned out to be around 3 inches. I suppose that creates unwanted liability for bus companies.

Thankfully, this hasn't been a repeat of last year.

End of next week has overnight temps returning to single digits below zero.

I'm hoping after a day or two we get a bounce-back. Hope doesn't change much, but it's pretty cheap.

4. Don't forget to bring your pets inside!

Stay safe everybody up there!

7. They know the drill.

I was working in downtown Philly in February '96 (?) That was a storm!

8. As long as I don't have 30 inches like the one in Feb 2013...

12. OMFG!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!

At least that's what the stations in Philly are dying to predict…just got back from a very busy grocery store…BTW we ALWAYS do our weekly shopping Sunday AM….

13. Boo

14. I've been in Florida for over 20 years and I don't recall it ever being this cold...n/t
