As many of you have seen, the snow is coming!! Projections show up to two feet of snow for the area. At rates that will battle the snow plows themselves. We urge everyone to stay home and stay warm! Stay off the roads at all costs! It's warmer inside than it is on the side of 84. As always in case of emergency call 911.
