They saying it is going to be a full on blizzard. You know you are a jeep owner when hearing that gets you excited. I can't wait.

Drove into the office at Noon in Boston. Heading back home later during the full brunt of the "blizzard". We'll see if that label is justified. My baby's handled worse.

I couldn't agree more. I'm ready for the snow. Bring it on Mother Nature.

We was getting hit all day. It was a little bad when we left earlier. Later in the day after leaving the Vets and stopping at a few stores, the roads were then really bad. People were doing like 20mph and sliding around. Tires spinning on many of the vehicles I seen trying to take off. I was enjoying it in my Jeep though. Didn't have any problems for me.

We got a measly 3" in southern MD, but maybe an inch on the road. Back roads were fun because they were unplowed and packed-down pretty good. I'm still hoping for a big storm down this way. I'd love to have an adventure like one of the JKF members last year that posted a GoPro video of him exploring on Long Island, I think.

We got 7.5-9"

Here were the roads this morning after being plowed. I used 4wd the entire ride to work.
