With little warning, we're expected to get hit tomorrow with what in the past has proven to be a crippling amount of snow for this region. When I heard this afternoon that the forecast accumulations had been increased, I was able to think through the checklist and say: "Just need to top off my gas tank."

Part of that is good fortune, happened to go to Costco last week. Even have fresh eggs, bacon, milk.... Camera batteries are even charged. the epitome of snow preparedness around here. Most of it is due to habits ingrained after years learning from ETS.

House is ready. Car is ready. This peace of mind is, for me, payoff enough for preparedness.

I hope everyone in the path of this will be able to enjoy the snowfall and not suffer any hardship or harm.
