Might need more Calcium Chloride over a snow blower in Pittsburgh area. I saw one model say we could get .5 - .75 inches of ice. If we get that, this city is paralyzed.

Mac, you realize your decision to buy a snowblower goes like this, buy it-no snow, don't buy it-blizzardgeddon.

I stopped just to pick up $11 worth of stuff for dinner tonight. The store looks like the New York trains after the Super Bowl. Don't these people have any food left from the last time they didnt get snowed in and stocked up for 6 months?

I went before the rush and it was all old people moving 1 mph. Get out of the way...

My list:

Bread, Pastrami, Cheese...

I already have enough water to last me for at least 2 weeks.
