I've been out for a while, cannot believe the arctic front still hasn't made it through the far east yet. We had 1" and the roads are treacherous with all the drifting. Just wait!
A couple of days ago I told my sister in Lanesville (north shore of Gloucester) that she might get 15" while Danvers gets 3". I may have gotten that backwards, lol, although lots of time on the clock up there.
