    Now that is some ugly stuff right there.You're wise not going anywhere.At 35 mph you would be wasting more time and fuel then getting the miles.

    I went from oil to electric. Weeks like this, it pays for itself.

    We're getting an inch an hour. Some places are expected to get up to 15 inches.

    Bad thing is I don’t get paid if I am not out, people don’t shovel to the oil fills and even worst I still have to shovel snow at my house & 4x4 out!
    Everyone be safe out there.

    I use oil heat but have gas for stove and almost switched to gas heat. Will be moving soon so I don't care what is here after I move :yes2557:

    have heat all the time, have gas all the time. Still need the electricity to stay on for any forced air furnace ( blower , ignition , controls ) to operate and there is likely going to be a few POWER OUTAGES as a result of the storm

    North of Boston getting 12" now but it's lite and fluffy. Blowing it all around so drifting is a issue again. They said a few more inches. The south/Cape cod what was mushy is now freezing solid. Temps dropped down that way.
