SNOW IN NEW ENGLAND

I'm out east this weekend, and according to every radio and television station, we're going to get hammered later today, tonight, and tomorrow by a major blizzard (one-and-a-half to two-and-a-half feet of snow, they say). I'm scheduled to fly back to Indy on Sunday (from New York's LaGuardia Airport), and if I'm to believe the news reports, the impending storm is going to lock the region down until at least Monday morning. I'm now off in search of extra food and bottled water (just in case the pipes freeze). More info to come as, and if, this storm develops.

Happy Saturday Everyone!

UPDATE: 8:15 PM, Saturday evening

Well, it looks like the weather forecasters got this one right. It's snowing like crazy out here. I just turned on the television to see the following message scrolling across the bottom of the screen, which I think tells the story about just how bad this storm has become:

"Yanni concert at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan postponed until Monday evening."

People, you know this is a serious mother-fuc&#r of a storm when they start canceling Yanni concerts down in the city that never sleeps. If I were a betting man, I'd guess that my Sunday afternoon flight out of LaGuardia is either going to be canceled or I won't stand a snowball's chance in hell of making it there in time for the flight. (I'll post pictures tomorrow.)

I hope that you are able to get a fast plane out of there soon. That is not a place you want to be for long if you can help it. I'm keeping an eye onthe weather to see if I think you have a chance. See you Wednesday--I hope. Stay safe.

I just got back from a convention in Woburn MA. and they got pounded, 24+î and out on the Cape Cod 36+î with wind gusts of 82mph on Nantucket Island. When I left today ( Sunday ) at 3pm I-128 was mostly clear of snow and the Mass. Pike was just wet. Logan airport is closed until Monday stranding many friends at the hotel.
