[Luckymommyx2]

Breezy_Carol...when is it supposed to start and how much here in our neck of the woods!? I haven't seen or heard any weather reports since yesterday!

 

[wdwnutze]

I am so ready for the spring. My brother is coming from CA and my sister from VA tonight just in time for the storm. Instead of going out for dinner tomorrow night, we will be having lobster and steak here. Hope DH doesn't mind cooking on the grill in the snow!

 

[Verandah Man]

Somwhere between 3-6 inches of snow expected for the Philadelphia area Thursday night into Friday, heaviest snow expected between 3am and 8am Friday.
I've had enough of this already!!!
