Yep Mech.

Last I herd They saying once the storm meets up with the cold air from the west will produce some nice snow as far inland as Ohio. It's gonna be a messy bastard of a storm, but..enough prep time folks should do a lot better then they did with Irene up the eastern seaboard.

I'll be taking today off from scrapping to prep the house and such for the storm and park the van uphill..as my sandbar and driveway WILL flood out...good thing I still have some water wings from when the niece visited...lol.

Again good luck to all in the path, whether your getting the full brunt or just the snow part. Common sense will see you thru safely.

Sirscrapalot - Wearing his storm prep hat today and will update as he can.

NYC has state of emergency and I was told to prepare for 12 hrs tours or longer starting Sunday. City is afraid the subways will be under water and with the full moon and tides being high when Sandy makes landfall they just might be. We will see. Turned in some ewaste today to have cash on hand if power goes down, stocked up on water got the lanterns ready. Will probably loose power since if you fart on Long Island too hard the power goes out...lol....be safe everyone and remember property can be replaced your lives can't. If your told to get out then get out while the gettin is good. The biggest problem for first responders is not the storm but the people that don't heed warnings to leave and then have to be rescued when tshtf. Be safe and smart!!!
