I've read that most who seem to know this stuff say this winter will be a bad one.

Bad snow and ice storms, power outages, and extreme cold. Just a heads up to get prepared to stay warm!

Given that we're getting snow at least two weeks earlier this year, I have to agree, it's going to be long hard winter. Not looking forward to it, that's for sure. They're talking 4-6" on Saturday evening for southern NH and most of the region. boo hoo!!! glad I have heater kitties!

Our weather man said last night that he thinks it will be a rerun of last year. For us that means still dry.

I couldn't believe it when I was driving home from quilting class last night. It was freakin' snowing out. We're expected to get another 3-6 on Saturday night with a big Nor'easter coming through Connecticut. I have a class on Saturday from 2-5 p.m. I hope I don't have any problems getting home.

As part of that snow belt, and hoping to get to my LQS on Saturday, I share your angst!! Good luck to both of us.

Our local weatherman has said this will be Year #2 of La Nina and that the amount of snow and cold will be as bad, or even a little worse, than last winter. I'm not looking forward to it at all.

I hate snow...I am 61 yrs young, I hate having to shovel a big driveway, 2 wheelchair ramps, lots of sidewalks, 2 huge cement pads, etc., but I have found that every problem has its price... if you worry too much about it ahead of time, you pay double...so, while I will start getting prepared for snow...it's going to come so I might as well be ready for it... I won't let it rob the time of my todays and tomorrows...but, I still hate snow...Naomi :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
