Just you wait!! We're supposed to be getting a somewhat nasty storm
starting late tonight (Tuesday, February 11th).  Initial consideration 
is "what's all the fuss about" as the quick forecast just says parts of 
the region can get up to 6" of snow, gusts to 25 MPH,  My New Hampshire 
mindset says 'so?' (I was raised 45 miles north of Boston), but guessing
it's supposed to be one heck of a weather event as the warning scroll 
has been on continuously since noon yesterday on at least one of the
local TV stations.  Scott County Emergency Management didn't put a text
alert until a little before 3 this morning.

Shovels, salt, be sure phone is charged, generator will do a self-test 
later today at noon but still have flashlights, etc., list of emergency 
telephone numbers.....
