"On my way to remove snow from my dealership"  based on what I read on DOT this is considered an exception. "Private sector snow removal equipment engaged in, or traveling in connection with the removal or clearance of snow and ice from public or private sector facilities"
They are going to reevaluate at noon. More then likley staying home...

It's a joke out here.  Six inches maybe.  Driving ban is completely unnecessary.

Western part of the state does not need a driving ban.   Here on the cape it is snowing hard and the wind has been cranking over 50mph for hours.

Where is my truck?  Looked out the window to where I parked my truck in my driveway and all that is there is what looks to be an igloo.
It is MY responsibility to make sure my children can enjoy fishing years from now. Make sure your kids can fish.  If you see something ILLEGAL Contact the Massachusetts Environmental Police Radio Room at 1-800-632-8075 at any hour of the day. They might show up if there is enough staff working.

For me, 6" might even be stretching it. I think we got a solid five that drifted all over the place. Some spots 2", some spots 12"…. no big drifts at all. I feel like we got kinda jipped  :(

Ugh got 30 inches average in central mass, was planning a trip to mirror lake but over a quarter mile walking in 30 inches of snow just ain't gonna happen, that is when the roads are cleared, might get stuck shoveling off spots at fort pond to maybe get a trout to fry, if the yeti doesn't take it... Stay warm and safe everyone

Just happy it's real fluffy snow. Unlike the 2013 blizzard. I remember fishing after that storm! Cut a hole and the water gushed out. I am curious to see what 30" of fluffy snow is like. Hopefully not as bad!

I live in the foothills of the Berkshires, Chester, we got 6" of snow, not have much wind at all and did not lose our power! It was the easiest blizzard I have ever been in!

Think I wait a few days until the rest of you pack I few trails I can use. ;D
Local pond had 2-3" of white ice and now has 24" of snow.
