^^It started with such promise... Thanks @bluewave

^^What does it look like for Putnam and northwestern Fairfield counties?

3 hours of fuel system cleanup, one small fire and a stinky driveway and it's working I'm tired of rain and sogginess, can we turn if off now?

Yay power is out

Gotta love when the power goes out and you open the generator to put gas in and it's half full of milky goo

I'm just a hair over 73 a few minutes west of Danbury.

It'll take you just as long to head northeast. I'd head for VT over P'burgh.

Damn.i don't want to get more heating oil but if it's not gonna warm up I'll have to. Uggh

Thanks Rob. We didn't have the greatest relationship and for the last year or so he wasn't texting much because he couldn't always remember how. I did go to see him pretty often, we'd sit and talk,maybe get a bite at his favorite diner but what does a sick 80 year old guy really want to do? Sit and be left alone. I was even further from my mom. That said, it's going to be an adjustment not having either of them to lean on when no one else wants to listen and other stuff... Hey, he went on his terms and that's what was important to him and now it doesn't hurt anymore.

Thanks everyone

Uggh. Can ya stir the tea leaves and try again?

Thanks, I appreciate it. I've been working on this simple plan for 20 years, the snow complicates it and makes the travel and viewing spot arrival time even more important.

There aren't too many N/S roads in VT, if the traffic is bad you'll be choosing a spot somewhere without snowbanks (along with everyone else). As the forecast homes in on the low cloud zones it's getting real. My plan got blown when my dad died this morning but go straight north and do it overnight so you get to your chosen plowed area by sunrise. The recent and current storm really reduced where you're going to be able to stop your cars and that's going to become the primary limiting factor.

Go away I had a much longer affect, 20 seconds easily starting with a bang then up and down with a lateral feel to it. Rattling windows and pictures on the outside walls. I was in the stone sunroom that sits on bedrock so it was probably amplified somewhat compared to a home on a slab over soil. The best part was the sound. It was like a huge helicopter directly overhead and it made my knees quiver. Cool shit.

I'm 1500 miles away so all I have to go on is our cameras but it looks like about an inch on the ground. Pavement looks wet.
