So far my bank emailed me to say they will be closed tomorrow, my electric company called to say they are prepared for the storm, and with suggestions for people, my city called to say there is now a parking ban, no on-street parking, which is not a surprise, and overnight parking on the street is banned in winter months anyway, Logan Airport is shutting down and will be closed tomorrow, the governor has declared there is a travel ban in effect starting at midnight state-wide, and we are snug and warm and safe. Only an inch or so so far, but the heaviest snow will come later.

One of the reason the Blizzard of '78 was deadly is people were not prepared, and it had just been predicted as flurries, I remember that quite well.
