I'm dreading Monday morning commute already. Temps will stay freezing and below after the Sat precip, so I think Sun & Mon will be "nope... not leaving the house" days for us.

5. Our local forecast in NH said 8" - 12" south, 12"- 18" north. Better than ice, but I'm sick of winter.

Our snowpack is way below normal. The mountain snowpack is our most important reservoir. Could be a horrible fire season, starting earlier and more intense.
