I was going to start shoveling again this morning (I've been up since 6:30
am) but I am daunted by the sheer volume of snow out there.  (Work
fascinates me: I could sit and look at it all day)

My Dish has no signal, so I am watching the streaming "Blizzard 2016"
online from NBCWashington (WRC 4).  I also have WeatherNation on Roku.

I think we have about 16 inches on the ground so far.
