3. I bought a gallon of gasoline for the snow blower... just in case.

Gasoline doesn't keep forever, so if I haven't used it by spring, I'll add it to the tank of my car.

I learned long ago (the hard way) that it doesn't pay to NOT clear the driveway of snow, especially if cold weather is going to hang around after the snow. --- Fluffy snow will compact, partially melt, then REFREEZE into a solid chunk of ice that can neither be shoveled, nor cleaned with the snowblower. It's just a big ol' mess.

I complain, but MD winters aren't as bad as western PA winters... so I guess I should count my blessings.

Stay safe and warm. Happy New Year.

9. Have you ever been to Western Maryland?

[Oopsie Daisy]

10. The part of MD where there's more PA and WV tags on cars?

Yes... I know it well. Sometimes I wonder if it's actually Maryland.

7. I saw the snowlovers on one weather forum salivating

At the prospect of 14 inches or so shown by some early models.

I'm relieved that it looks to be somewhat less.
