Man I hope it passes but it lookes as we are going to be in the center of it. I like snow but ice I do not. This will be the 2nd time this year but last time we were only to get 1/2" and we got 2 1/2". I have to head to work @ 5 AM right in the middle of it so looks like I will be getting up early and headed off a bit early to get there in time as I live 10min from the plant and the city never treats the roads till after 7 AM :(
