But i got to say it again. We are under a blizzard warning and that goes through 10 00am on sunday and frankly, sunday is still going to be a little bit of a tricky day in my opinion, i would wait by a Family Member saying, hey, i want to get up there. So you got to wait till monday. This is a multiday event. Weve got that snow. Weve got the wind blowing upwards of 75 Miles Per Hour. Tree limbs down. Theyre going to have power outages. All the things, all the things so, you know, stay safe and stay put. Thats my advice. Once again today, those snow levels are going to be dropping. This is a cold air system.

You know, some estimates putting it above 10 feet. Im going 48. Well see how it all works out. But were already seeing about 2 feet falling as looking at some of the resorts we could see when that cold air rushes in a little bit of snow i
