We're going over the 100 inch mark tonight here in Boston, that beats the annual average snowfall for Buffalo NY by almost 10 inches...

I feel for you! About a year ago I was awaiting a watch that was en route and we (South Carolina) got hit by a Winter storm. It delayed delivery by 3-4 days and I thought I'd lose my mind.
Good luck waiting it out.

USPS would have to deliver where FedEx and UPS can wimp out at discretion.
That would be considered a cleared and good condition road this winter in the Northeast.

Wow, here in Montreal we do not even consider this snow, it's barely just a trace of it.

Good luck for delivery tomorrow.

You're right!! I thought I would be looking for the dial I wanted for a long time and BAM it popped up with DavidSW exactly what I was looking for. I hadn't seen one in the several months I have been looking. A few emails later and he had it on the way.

Pic's for sure when I get it home.

Ha. We have an office in Jacksonville and they have had a couple of flakes in the air this year and you would have thought the world was coming to an end.

Yep, here in Edmonton that would literally be considered a dusting of snow.. They probably wouldn't even consider it an actual snowfall..

I feel your pain, waiting sucks, but here in Canada that amount of snow wouldn't cause a delay in your tee time
Good luck
