NYC snow plow drivers have been working 12-hour-on, 12-hour-off shifts.

I suspect they may have been a bit less than happy.

Hey, Lamp... wondered how you fared; so, the heat held up and you didn't turn into a popsicle?

You've prolly been to Lake Winnepasaki, ehya? (best NH accent!)

Being from TX, the first time I saw snow that deep was the mid-80's; we had flown up in winter from Austin.

Landed at Logan in a huge snowstorm, which we drove through all the way up to the lake with a few hour traffic jam midway up the Interstate where I thought we might all freeze to death, but they actually had blankets.

My wife's parents had a cabin on Black Cat Island, and my daughter was like two, so we so that many feet of snow for the first time together.

Next morning we woke up to a Winter Wonderland, and I walked down to the lake. It looked frozen, and I was testing it with one foot... when a pick-up truck towing an ice fishing hut came around the corner.. on the lake!

The guy looked at me, saw what I was doing, and stared like he thought I must... be from Texas or something.

I later lived up there at the lake for about a year, then several more close to the Patriot's stadium south of Boston. It was, 'wicked cold' and snowy there a few times, too.

About 20 inches of wind-swept snow here (gusts nearing 50mph).

We came close to blizzard conditions here. Visibility was 1/4 mile or less for 3 hours or more (actually 4 hours here) due to falling or blowing snow. But we had winds, and/or wind gusts, of 35mph or more for only 2 hours, not the required 3 hours. So, no blizzard.

That aside, no interruption of power, utilities held up great.

Something looks to be brewing the first half of next week. But it is too soon to suss anything about that one.

thx for asking.
