You are also substantially south of where we are.
We just have to turn you into a ski bum patty.
I haven't snow skied since I broke my leg when I was 33. I'm not really interested in it anymore. I do plan on walking around the area soon. My broken foot is getting better.

A monster blizzard is heading our way. It's a Nor"easter so very high winds, snow and ice will accompany it. Temps could dip below zero with the winds. Got batteries, lights, candles, food, gin and wine. Did I miss anything. Coming your way Bill with heavy snow forecast. Be safe.

You can also get your elevation with GoogleEarth, put the mouse arrow on your house.

Try this site: Google Maps - Find GPS coordinates, longitude, latitude, altitude

This one seems to be more accurate: https://www.whatismyelevation.com/

Blizzard warning, high winds, snow accumulation.....right now we have rain. Change over expected later AM. We may not get as much snow as some other areas since we started with rain. We won't get the light fluffy stuff either. I'm off today keeping busy at home....who else washes their kitchen floor when snow will be tracked in?

We are experiencing a blizzard. Whiteout conditions, snow, very high winds and temps headed to near zero. We leave for Fla. in 3 weeks for 2 months. Cant wait to get away from this crap.
