AT THIS TIME...THE BEST ESTIMATION IS FOR THE STORM TO TAKE A FAVORABLE TRACK TO PRODUCE THIS MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS.

One might take issue with the word "favorable." It fits, just barely.

Enough to send me to the Chinese guy's market for milk, bananas, & a small bag of onion rings. A gas line explosion by Burger King down the block from there, rattled the window earlier, couldn't see any building damage but traffic was detoured & all fouled up. Gave Sansa Clip an inaugural walk, worked fine.

The Chinese owner was debating with an Indian man over which country has larger population. The Chinese guy was right, although it's close, but both of them had their numbers way off. Neither said "one billion."

Pulled out my snow-worthy shoes. They are not boots or for walking in snow, but for on top of pressed down sidewalk snow & stepping in slush at corners, conditions where old sneakers don't cut it. The timing for the snow is good, & it's better if the temps stay cold for a few days after heavy snow.
