Hello Whatever, well we're 40 minutes south of Boston and since Friday we have has at least 16 inches, and it's still coming. Looks like another 7 tomorrow and it's bloody windy 40mph gusts. I have heard however that by Monday it will have stopped.

Good luck sorting all your stuff

I'd say you're better off where you are than stranded at an airport waiting to catch a flight or worse still, at a transfer airport and stuck.

My husband was stuck at JFK overnight in December a few years ago due to weather much like you describe. As well as being stuck at an airport in transit, the airline also "lost" his luggage.

It didn't stop here untill Saturday night! -- Fortunately my relatives got here from NYC after what took 4 hours instead of 1 on the snowed over highway!

I lost power Friday night so I missed the chat too! :(
