A light dusting of snow on the sidewalk this morning. Looks like it's picking up steam, though, heading east.

I'm sure I'll survive this one, regardless of how breathless and excited the media are for it to snow in January.

The whole thing basically missed us. We had some flurries today, but no accumulation. Mostly conversational snow. You know, when you look out the window and say "It's snowing". Nothing sticking to the roads.

At least it is in the suburbs. Where are you coming from? And how are you getting here? They expect travel delays in the AM. The DC area is not good in the snow, we don't get enough to be really experienced at it. The concern that is usual around here is ice.

This is standard fare for New England so no big. I'll pick up 3 gallons of milk, 6 loaves of bread and 4 dozen eggs on the way home.

I'm only pissed that we're flying out Wednesday night so it would have been nice if the blizzard hit after we left. Then again, I don't want to come back and have to deal with frozen 2' of snow.

It looks like the Pocono Mtns in NE PA will get about 8 to 12 inches of the white stuff. DH has two snow throwers and an ATV with a plow on it.

We've been able to fend off the legions of wights and their White Walker overlords, but I fear that our defenses cannot hold for much longer. It seems that winter storm Juno will finally be the end of us.
