OTOH if it's a BM>>> wet heavy snow probably will shovel because easier to shovel less heavy BM>>> snow than an accumulation.

NB>> Thankfully, we aren't quite at the coast.... ;) BM> Tomorrow it's supposed to have a high of 48ø and drop to 21ø (a few BM> degrees warmer on either side compared to last week's forecasts).

They're mostly only guessing, after all... ;) So far this week, we've had only an inch or two all told, but more had been predicted... and the night there wasn't going to be any accumulation we got maybe an inch or so... ;) We get what we get...
