well we're in the area that's going to be hit the hardest... so far we've got about 14" i'd say... But in our area there could be depths up to 20+".... with large drifts due to the 20-30 mile an hour winds. That doesn't include the gust up to 50 mph. Went out about an hour ago with the little guy during a little let down in the snow. He took to it ok... wasn't too happy about the wind though. lol. Last i knew we were in a blizzard warning.... it's not offically a blizzard yet. I believe the requirements for a blizzard are winds over 35 mph and 1/4 ml visibility. I'm sure that'll happen before the end of the storm. We'll see what the offical call is on it though. It's suppose to continue snowing until about 6pm tonight... didn't start til the early morning hours.

I just wish it was further not... Cambridge doesn't need this snow... sled country does... I know most of maine is only suppose to get 2-5... Not a great storm for much of that region.

Whats up guys. Somehow my work managed to not schedule me in for Mon-Wed. How lucky is that. Hope we get the 15 - 20 inches.

welcome Tynan!!! Man you really did luck out!!! How much snow do you have out there currently? We've definitely got over 1.5 feet now... And we're just getting into the worst of it.... Should make for an interesting afternoon. Kinda sucks that I'm getting my wisdom teeth yanked out on Thurday. Kill most odds of riding next weekend :-(

At work now but my wife said over a foot and it is a total white out. I know some places in Ct. got 8 inches in 2 hrs.
