take care all you guys out east.  24" of snow in one time I have never seen.  Only seen over 20" once in my lifetime per snow fall.  Best of luck, think spring!

Oss, the people at work were just talking about that blizzard back in the late 70's.  Unfortunately,  I was only 7 or so years old and don't really remember it but do remember when I was that young it seemed like there was always snow on the ground and was always sledding down the long downward facing road we lived on UNTIL the cops stopped us and told us we couldn't take our sleds on the road since wasn't safe with traffic we were racing. 

Nowadays,  schools close around me for 1-2 inches of snowfall is all.

Just starting to snow here.  It's coming and going to be heavy, so they say.  I'm going to be right in the heart of it in Massachusetts.  They're saying it's going to be a record.  That's a record I could do without.   

Good luck to all in it's path.
