> [@Geehee"](#): > > seems like tomorrow may be a good day to work from home I live 1 mile from work and I’m considering this. When you’re a fairly new homeowner, weather like this really makes you nervous. I always wonder if I’m going to lose heat, power or both. I just got a generator, but have not back wired it yet to be able to run my boiler/sump pump. I need to get on that… It’s already coming down here pretty good in WS and the wind is already creating havoc. ---

I was excited when they were talking about 3+ feet but now it looks like Williamsville is going to be a little too far north. Should be good for skiing and snowmobiling though. ---

There’s one guy on my street who never clears his sidewalk too, and he’s between my house and my kid’s bus stop. I end up clearing his sidewalk but I make sure my snowblower pushes every flake right into his driveway. I’ll walk my snowblower down the road then loop back so I can make sure the snow from his entire sidewalk gets put behind his cars. ---

Just did the tune-up on my 30yr old snowblower, kind of scared about the focus sitting in the driveway but I have no room for it anywhere else. Sort of hoping the giant silver maple in my front yard falls onto my roof so I have free tree removal and a free new roof lol. ---

I’m really not worried, my car is a tank. 2 feet of snow would be interesting though. I’m really more worried about losing power. ---

Snow is one thing but not being able to see and dealing with traffic is what bothers me. I dont want to be stuck in traffic and have it take 2+ hours to get home when I only live 8 miles from work. ---

I don’t have any kids in my neighborhood. If they exist, I’d rather not meet them or their parents. 3 years in, I’ve met two neighbors. My neighborhood only has families with kids in college. The snowblower makes quick work. No big deal. I do have the one guy that complains that my sidewalks aren’t cleared, but bitches when I decide to fire up the snow blower past 7pm.
