Where I live the Blizzard warning goes up in a couple of hours. For today, they are predicting up to 17 inches of snow, with 55 mph winds and coastal flooding. It is supposed to do the same thing tomorrow.

Well, here in Rochester, NY.

It has been snowing since last Sunday. It went on and off but is still snowing since. The weather yesterday was 7 degrees below zero. Students included me had to walk to classes in that weather. :Q

I am taking bets now. Will my car be there come tomorrow morning?
