You have The Super 8, Friendly's, a KFC/Taco Hell, a pot dispensary, and a package store. All walking distance. lol

For those looking to chase, Great Wolf Lodge in Fitchburg/Princeton is fun for the family.  Prime spot for this.  Plus they have a resturant/bar etc.    Kinda $$$ though

They have backup power as well

Right in Westminster off the highway and near Wachusett Mtn and brewery is Rodeway Inn. Also, in Gardner there's the Colonial Hotel off of Rt 140N. Full restaurant and bar.

Yeah I'm not far from right where RT 2 hits 1000', so I'm typically right on edge of the good stuff. My folks are a couple miles west with another 150'+ or so of elevation.  Makes a difference. In my experience the change over typically happens at the drug rehab place on RT 2. 

12" is not that crazy, but 24"+ is wild, especially if it's glop.  That's for the berks though.  We good for keeping power. 

Plenty of available rooms at the drug rehab place for CT folks.

Gonna be epic . BOX has gusts to 55 here which I think is high 

Gusts 60-80 for E. MA that is impressive. 

Elevation is your friend in this one.

didn’t realize the winds were expected to be this high this far inland.  That, plus 12-18” sounds like generator territory.

I don’t envy anyone making a forecast for the public. Ukie and cmc are virtually nada here and the Nam and gfs are 15-18+

This storm.

trees around here are going to have a tough time I think 

Good day to make sure the generator is working.

Totals will be lower because we moved the clocks forward an hour.  More sun

Longer daylight = less snow. lol

It's has me at about 30 inches so it will probably change, regardless should be good for most of us and glad I got my snowblower running.

I'll be working on mine today. Auger belt. Looking like a double pass on Tue/Wed with the heavy snow.

If it goes pure northern stream, this ends up a Catskills to Adirondacks storm. The southern vort is the only thing that keeps this a bit east initially. 

Models seem to be all over the place. Do you think once this first storm pulls out it will setup a final solid run for all.

Hopefully we can keep it over the cape but we'll  see still a long way to go 

That's what we need. For it to sit at the Cape for hours on end.

Big storm there.

Sweet.

You're right, I don't have your memory, that was a great stretch. Nice hard crust on top and my pup running across the top, was great.

I remember that Winter.  I believe we had a solid 2-3" ice pack all season Dec-late March

So do I have to fix my snow blower on Saturday or not?
