    Hope you took blankets in the car!
    and I hope that if the snow gets bad, you're prepared to stay in a hotel near the hospital!

    Take Care! Sandy

    Our most recent blizzard
    Our most recent blizzard went through night before last and yesterday (I-90 ws closed for about 24 hrs from us to the East). I had Chemo on Christmas Eve. The roads were already really nasty with ice/slush from the last storm with our Christmas Blizzard already on the way. Luckily I have a 4X4 so had not problems .

    Be careful!

    Glad you will be going Monday. You are so right. There is no point in going out in a bad storm and risking an accident when Monday will work just as well. Happy that will be your last. Hooray for you.
