No joke - this is the graphic they're showing on one of our local weather stations (and this is the station to the south of us!):
Why, yes, that does say "PARALYZING BLIZZARD". Thanks for asking. :p For the last 20 years or so, a 10" snowfall every two years has been about average here in the Lehigh Valley/Pocono Mt. area. This will be our 4th or 5th significant (ie: 10" or more) snowfall this winter!!!
So now you know why I haven't been posting much - our internets are intermitent at best. ;) Pray for us!

Edited to add: They're predicting approxmately 24" of snow here for us. We just had 17" of snow two weeks ago, and 10" or so a few days before that. >:( When our weathermen indicate a storm could be 'memorable' that usually means anywhere from 2 - 3 FEET of snow. ::sigh:: http://www.wfmz.com/news/22644984/detail.html
