If it is 13 inches, fine enough. Back in January of 1996 when I was 12, we got blasted with 30 inches of snow.

Yeah, we got that one year when I was like...  14 or 15 I think?  This was in Michigan, I just remember it being the one time the snow was so bad it was literally impossible to leave your house for a period of several days.  The snowbanks from plowing were like 5+ feet tall.

Where I'm at right now, looks like we're getting about a foot.  On a personal level, my work place shut down Saturday and Sunday in advance, and I am selfishly a little sad the storm didn't hit during the week.  But really, for the safety of everyone this is probably best, as there won't be heavy commuting during the worst of it.  There's still a real chance I might get Monday off though.
My job did send notice we're closed today, and it's up in the air for Monday, but it's a good possibility they'll close. Granted I haven't worked there in two years, but I've been talking with management about getting back on the schedule.

The storm in 96 we ended up missing school for about 3 weeks. We ended up making up the difference in June. Which sucked cause we had no air conditioning.

Looks like we'll probably get near the bottom end of the projection, they're now saying 7 inches. Still snowing now, though. I doubt my street gets plowed until Monday at the earliest. Just hoping the power stays on the whole time.

About an inch or two of snow to look at, but mostly sleet & ice.....

We have about 2" of solid ice on the ground here; everything is shut down.

Ice is no joke. Worse than snow by a lot.
