It's starting to get real, folks. Hang on to your short hairs.
ETA: My main plow guy is outside my window and I can hear his tires spinning. He might be stuck again.
That's not good.

Wow, none of that sounds good.
My daughter is taking a shift shoveling which is quite helpful.
Wind is picking up. I can usually see our main road from upstairs in my big bedroom window and was trying to see out there because there were all kinds of emergency sirens going off but I can't see anything past a few feet.
