Of course It's a little early yet, but they say it looks like it has the character of a BIG one. Snowblower, don't fail me now

[size=90][i]Weather Synopsis...Weather conditions will deteriorate rapidly tonight as winds increase, temperatures drop, and precipitation breaks out across the area. A winter mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow will change to all snow in most areas by daybreak. Blizzard conditions are very possible in some areas by Tuesday morning as the snow becomes heavy at times, and strong north winds create severe blowing and drifting. All preparations for this storm should be completed by this evening. Any unnecessary travel is discouraged late tonight and Tuesday, by which time roads may be impassable in many areas.[/i][/size]
