    So... We've only been under a combination of winter storm watch / blizzard watch for the last two days here in Maine. Portland got 14.5" of snow in this event (per the Gray Weather Observatory), some places headed toward the midcoast got much more.

    In short: You've gotta know when enough is enough. Or you're these guys.

    Edit: To include both days of the event: 21.6" in Portland.

    Then again while plowing out a customer in Sullivan. Had a Ace Hardware come screaming through on Route one. Not everyone is off the roads I guess. Hope he has a motel to sleep in tonight. Doubt anyone will unload him today.

    Wow! I guess we have a lot in common then!

    Edit: Me + you (the idiot you reference) = 0 difference, in the event it went over your head. Your German doesn't impress me, btw. I'm Irish, German, Welsh by blood. Gotta try harder than that fancy pants.
