Possible noreaster this weekend

[Raven]

for the cape

[Mike P]

Well, we have food in the house, plenty of firewood, some wine, gas in the cars, and nowhere special to go tomorrow or Monday. And a neighborhood full of kids, and hopefully one or two who would like to make a fast 20 for shoveling

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

[Saltheart]

I don't know about where your new house is but in my neighborhoods , kids apparently don't shovel or mow lawns anymore. They all drive nicer cars than me and I never even see them cutting their own lawns , mush less hustling around to make some money.

Anyway , I
m preparing the same way. plenty of everything in the house by shopping today and if its bad , I'll stay home and watch John Wayne reruns tomorrow!

[Slingah]

I got kindling and firewood...plenty of food...a good book............and a wife who is mad at me
I hope it goes by fast so I can go back to work on Monday

[BigFish]

Poor Slingah....told you you should have gone to PlugFest today to get out for a few hours....now you are stuck in all weekend!

[RickBomba]

I have to be in Nashua by 10 am tomorrow; I'll be in the belly of the beast. Gonna leave here about 7:45, that'll give me time enough to go 20 mph if I need to.
Got a full tank in the Avalanche and gonna get a good night sleep.
Plan is to run the restaurant with 1 bartender, two waistaff, and nobody in the kitchen (including dishwashers!!!0.
Just spent like two hours in local gracery stores...you'd think is was Armageddon tomorrow!
Oh well, later.
Rick
