Subject: RE: BS: Big snow forecast for New England-Fri
A more recent report for this weekend:

Storm expected to give New England third straight weekend of snow

The report doesn't give much detailed information, but as expected it does mentioned some places running out of money in their budgets for snow removal and other weather related responses. I'm not sure Kansas even had a budget for it.

The places where rain or mixed rain/snow is expected may face the worst traffic hazards due to the treacherous nature of icing, especially when it's on top of snow.

We don't have to worry much about clearing our sidewalks, because there aren't any in our neighborhood. We haven't been out to see whether the kids who like to play basketball in the street a couple of blocks south have cleared their "court." When the foot of snow that's blocking the front door from coming open melts (or blows away) we'll get out to the mailbox, but we haven't seen the mail truck so we're pretty sure there's nothing there.
