WOW,that sounds like how it use to snow when I lived there.
Hunker down, stay warm.
Sunny, very windy here today. Looks like March is coming in like a lion & hopefully will go out like a lamb.

Yep, we'll see. We've got 1-2" down on the ground now, with the bulk of the storm coming overnight, after midnight.
