CT been snowing since about 7 am...I live further south along the shoreline, I'm up toward RI staying at our casino hotel for a few days, in case we lose power as we often do...we booked this just in case.

It started in our town before here by a few hours.

As for how it looks 34 floors up....as I look out the wiindow now...one gray blur. There's a river below that looked icy on the top of it this morning. Only about 10 degrees. First hours of snow there were already 4 accidents on the roads reported. Lots of cancellations and closures of the restaurants up here. Somehow we got a reservation tonight at one of them...many of the others are closed. I'm sure the help isn't expected to come into work.

I hope everyone stays safe, warm and has what they need for the next few days. I hope you/we keep power too. Already many reports across the country of power loss.

Amazing to me the span of this storm...across so many states, from west to east, north to south.

Good Luck if you're playing!

Thanks @foxywoods (I have a feeling you're "familar", lol, by your name...though we're at the other one. )
I actually did win a little and best yet....they gave us a good amount of "Freeplay" so I play with their money only!
As per usual my bf won a lot more, he always wins bigger than me...but he plays bigger.

A lady the other night, playing the "high roller" slots, playing $10 a spin...won around $266,000!!! I'd have passed out. She was in shock.
But when they revived me I'd have been 💃 😂.

@amyb wow! that's an AMAZING win! . Sounds like a fun weekend ! I only went to Foxwoods years ago with my stepdughter to play High Stakes Bingo. and to Mohegan Sun to see 38 Special. It's no longer Mohegan Sun now though, right? Not that far from me. I've had better luck in Vegas and Lake Tahoe playing slots.

@twinsister . I am on Long Island also. We got about 12". We are shoveled out. Thank goodness. My sons and my neighbor shoveled me out. Neighbor has snow thrower. It was very nice of him. Sunday, we might get more. Ugh

@foxywoods It's still Mohegan Sun...always has been! I think you're maybe thinking Foxwoods was MGM for a while, no more...just Foxwoods again.

38 Special huh? Now that's a blast from my 80's past!

I went to Vegas only once in my life 1980, but bf does a business/guys trip there yearly.

We're thinking of maybe going just for a few days (I'm not the big "gambler"...only freeplay for this girl, lol)...but I was maybe wanting to see Wizard of Oz at The Sphere. We'll see, I'm in and out of wanting to do it. I've only been to Tahoe once also, also in the 80's. Played Blackjack a little there, just because someone taught me that time...have never played since. We just do slots for fun.

@Fribwl - I think we got 10 inches. We are in an over 55 complex, so the maintenance guys do the shoveling and plowing. Thankful for those hard working guys. I did hear about possibly more on Sunday. I hope it goes out to sea!!
