It will snow in Massachusetts. You have to be kidding me! I can remember about all the hype that hit Buffalo NY. Heck when we got 36 - 45 inches of snow there were no reporters here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Thats like a drop in the bucket when your winter season snowfall can be over 200 inches. Stocking up the refrigerator and so forth that is done in the fall, making sure there is enough Milk, and so forth. Now that you can get Milk that can be stored on the shelf until it is opened, no more runs on the store. Toilet paper, water and soups and so forth are on hand. If the power goes out generator and there is also plenty of bottled propane for the grill.
Even in Green Bay, when it snows like that no reporters show up. Now, they will show up in Chicago if more than 6 inches fall.
Upper born here - St Ignace.
Grew up there and loved the winter - and the snow.
Not so much when the plow truck came by and threw all the iced up, packed street snow up into the driveway I just shoveled.
