We built a room on our house which is ideal for snow watching (and severe watching for that matter). I'll call it the weenie room. I'll be breaking it in tomorrow.
Growing up in New London, I remember one storm gave us 8". I was awed--and might have even charge a buck or two more for shoveling walks/drives.
I'm sure glad I don't live there anymore. And fortunately, I'm now on that line from Kevin to Ray.
