    Larry — you need to renegotiate with Boston this time. NYC make get a pass while Boston gets the big snow dump.

    That’s extra for travel time, room and board, and steak dinners.

    Larry--since you may end up with blizzard conditions, Boston is sweetening the pot by giving you all the vegan burgers you can eat.

    The bride is in Massachusetts with a Jet Blue flight scheduled for about noon on Wednesday. She tried to switch it for a flight today, but JB is all full up. I hope that her flight on Wednesday actually does happen.

    The last storm damaged about 20% of the trees and shrubs on my 4 acres.

    A 100 year old oak broke about 25' up, and the estimated 3 ton top part flattened about 40 feet of my fence.

    Mother Nature is a mo fo!

    Larry —Jason may be out of power. He has requested your assistance in Eastern LI this morning. What is this going to cost him?

    BUICKRAT Got any treats?

    And so it begins...
    We're gonna get clobbered, 12-18, some areas 24 plus.
    lotsa wind too. Power already flickered at my house this morning, storms just begun. Town voting day today also, looks like all the crooked money wasters will get everything they want.

    Thank goodness for the 10k diesel genny (and the 600+ gal of fuel on hand) and the backup 10k gas job.
    New ExtremeV plow on the 2018 2500HD...will be out in it for most of the storm.

    Wishing you guys good luck!

    I think we had 26” 2007? In one night. Missed 1951 record by 1” . The builder who built my house in 1950. Crazy I talked to him before he passed . He said he had to get to my house (ranch house) as fast as he could . The house was just framed NO brick on house. He told me that if he did not climb on the roof ( in tar paper) and shovel the 3’ of snow off . That the house would of collapsed. He said back in the day if that happened to (1) house he would be bankrupt. Out of business. So in 2007 I shoveled
    The snow off my roof . And the snow was 2 feet from touching gutters. Unreal. That morning it took me 45 min to 1 hour to plow to the main road witch was 70 yards . And I had an 2005 Duramax diesel . So the next day I tried to buy chains for tires. And the garage I called the guy there said that he had 10 Dodge trucks towed in with the sides of tranny’s had holes blown out. From over heating. I learned that day that when you get a snow like that not to plow the snow until the next day. Let the water drain out of the snow. It weighed to much.
