It's a blizzard! Biggest storm we'ver had here since Feb. '79! We've got 14 inches already and it's only 1:00 pm, and it's supposed to keep snowing until Monday night! Now they're talking up to 30 inches! Holy moley! Had Milo out running through the deep drifts on the beach with the driving snow coating his face, and the husky in 'im loves it!...never saw him so happy!  Mush!

Dear WO'N: Depends on to whom you are talking. From an Astrology site:
January: Wolf Moon
February:
Storm Moon
March: Chaste Moon
April: Seed Moon
May: Hare Moon
June: Dyad Moon
July: Mead Moon
August: Wort Moon
September: Barely Moon
October: Blood Moon
November: Snow Moon
December: Oak Moon
What I think of Astrology is not fit for posting.

Had 20 inches by 5:30 pm. We're under a State of Emergency statewide, and in Cape May, Atlantic, and Cumberland Counties vehicles are now banned from the roads except for snow clearing equipment and emergency vehicles, and Lower Townshio, which encompasses the extreme southern portion of Cape May County, has has declared a mandatory curfew from 7 pm to 7am. Now the northeast winds have kicked up (45-50 mph, gusts up to 70) and they're projecting an 8.5 to 9 ft. tide tomorrow, which could be serious. National Guard is on standby and the NJ State Police have been authorized by the Governor to close major highways if need be.
Philadelphia area had its pojected total upped to 20-30 inches.
The thrill is gone...you couldn't even walk out there now if you wanted to
Boby, hear you're really getting socked in Maryland, too...you hanging in there okay?

Dear WO'N: I can remember big snowstorms in early twenties, when for several days my father
made house visits on snowshoes. Instead of plowing, pungs, wagons on side ski llike runners,
carrying heavy ballast, would be pulled along main streets packing snow down so that then
sleighs' funners would not dig in too deep. I remember my father taking me is a horse drawn
sleigh to house visits up to five miles away. And in the evenings, gangs of us kids were taken
on sleighrides, in wagons with clean straw as insulation. If you were lucky, you might get an
invitation to warm your hands in the most amazing place, while smooching.

But Bill ... not possible. You couldn't kiss the horse and have your hand up its ass at the same time. Pull the other one!

We're all ice here in central Virginia. Don't know why we haven't seen snow. It was in the lower twenties most of yesterday and last night. Why no snow? I don't know.

In New Hampshire, too. And I live a few strategic blocks from the Atlantic...so we will get high tides and all that jazz. We are starting now with flurries BUT tonight winds pick up and we could get anything from (lucky) six to (yuk) 16 inches of snow. Glad I am not in the news biz anymore. Blizzard of '78 I went to work on a snow plow!
I am all tucked in with food and a quart of Ben & Jerry for comfort. Yummy good with a topping of real maple syrup and bananas. Getting reports now it's going to be two inces an hour. Only hope is - with the cold front lodged over us - it will be the fluffy stuff, not the heavy wet stuff. Lucky for me I have a next door neighbor with two sons who have me on their shoveling list right after their house!
Pearl will be over her head in the snow. She hates that so the boys plow paths for her .... not toooooo spoiled.
Stay warm!

Depends where you're kissing it, of course.
