<p>Hi mid Atlantic and Northeastern friends! Are you ready? My DS is in Providence, and I got him, the Southern Boy, all kinds of stuff for real winters, and now it looks like he is going to need it! Best wishes for you all!</p>
<p>I think this is why D didn’t want to look at east coast schools
sunny and 53degF here</p>
<p>Starting the process with #3. I know this weekend’s weather will assure we will be going on airplanes to visit this one!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t trade this blizzard for anything. There’s nothing like a fresh blanket of snow (in this case over a foot) to slow down life. It’s really the only time you can hear absolute quiet. I will miss my “snowblower” - who’s now in college.</p>
<p>BigGreen,</p>
<p>That is a lovely truth . . . snow silence is like no other.</p>
<p>10-15 inches predicted here at the Jersey shore…I’m psyched.</p>
<p>Good weekend timing too, most of us’ll be home tomorrow to enjoy it (and dig out :)).</p>
<p>Well I hope the forecasters in your area are better than the ones in ours. We were practically promised 3-5" of snow in a big “snow storm” last night and more snow today. I’m looking outside right now and the very few flakes that fell last night have melted, the grass is green and the streets are dry. I’d like one good snow before winter is over, but if it’s not going to happen, I want the spring-like temperatures.</p>
<p>My d. flew down to Philadelphia last night for a national Quaker meeting, and is supposed to fly back to Hartford (and then drive to Northampton) tomorrow. </p>
<p>She has plenty of books with her. ;)</p>
<p>i’m psyched for snow here 
(boston area)</p>
<p>We’re ready and waiting (but not holding our breaths)! The snowblower is stoked and filled with gas, and H brought in firewood for some nice relaxing fires. S reported from LA that it was nice and hot out there, but we’ll be heading out there for D’s family weekend next weekend. So, we’re looking forward to that!</p>
<p>Oh ho. Thanks for the heads up. Fingers crossed for D & orchestra, playing at a concert in Boston tonight. I presume the MassPike is in good driving condition for busses on all sorts of weather…</p>
<p>Hi Splashmom,</p>
<p>Sorry for your disappointment! We on the plateau in TN got about 3 inches and it is still coming down!</p>
<p>The GC at S2’s school cancelled the ACT!</p>
<p>We are totally psyched here in NJ. Though, if it’d come a day later, we could have had a snow day! </p>
<p>Thedad: I’m not a Massachusettsian, but around here, if the highways aren’t drivable, they close’em. I’m sure she’ll be fine!</p>
<p>TheDad:</p>
<p>It was gorgeously sunny this afternoon in Boston. If it snows hard, I’m telling S2 to come home to plow it, since he did not want to go to Stanford b/c there is no snow there. :)</p>
<p>Tomorrow should be gorgeously white and quiet. It’s the rest of the week, with slush all around and puddles everywhere, that will be no so great.</p>
<p>Usually, the Mass Pike is the first thing that gets plowed well, so I assume your D and her orchestra should make it safely back to Northampton tomorrow.</p>
<p>Western NC barely got a touch, and now it’s melting! Sad!</p>
<p>I’ll be bunkering in for our expected 23 degrees tomorrow morning.</p>
<p>Stop laughing - I’m talking about Houston here!</p>
<p>is that Centigrade?</p>
<p>Tables are turned: Just talked to D in Rochester, nothing there, NOVA snow…hey at least tennis is indoors tonight!</p>
<p>it was raining very lightly here and now it’s just kind of drizzling now… blizzard my behind. -_- nothing’s sticking…</p>
<p>We’re expecting 6- 10" or 3 - 6" or 12 - 14" depending on where they draw the line and what channel we watch. Neighbors are having a snow party so we’re going to put on our boots (carry over slippers in a bag) and have fun! So, what do you all do for fun in those warm weather states in Feb??</p>
