Sounds like a very wise decision, and getting marooned is not very appealing.

Good job, Mrs MacNessa!!

Stay warm and safe...and may your electricity stay on.

Hotel rooms would not have been easy to find and I can't feature myself spending an overnight in a train station.

Looking at the radar, I think we're past the worst of this storm. Also, it looks as though the most intense part of the storm is tracking about 100 miles east of us - right up the coast. Look for substantial beach erosion from the Carolinas to Jersey.

We have about a foot right now - John Man is out shoveling - there's enough down that we thought it would be a good idea to take care of what we have tonight rather than having to dig ourselves out of the whole nine yards tomorrow.
