Mark,

I now have 4" of this icy crap in my driveway. I thought the storm  
stopped but it started up again. Yup. Sounds like somebody is  
throwing sand at the windows. You're only 90 miles north of me up I  
95. You'll have it for awhile. I tried shoveling this stuff and it  
weighs a ton. I think I'll leave it until Spring.
