Nor'easter coming...are you ready?

nat. weather man talks of the high winds you guys will get. I know it makes a lot of difference being n town or out in the open spaces with snow and wind! BUT....

few years ago I left work after bout 3 measily inches of snow, but winds had been blowing all day 40 mph. there is a big open pasture to my west and north of where I turn off the co. road. when I got to where I turn off to my dirt road that leads up to my place, road had drifted completely shut with a pile of snow 5 foot high! bout 400 yards long. neighbor drove up bout then and asked what will his wife do when she gets home?? . I suggested "WALK." ha (wind chill was probably minus 20 in that wind.)
