Winter Storm Warning in effect for tonight and tomorrow. We're looking for around 6 inches of heavy wet snow followed by up to a half-inch of ice accum.

Prepare for power outages with this one.
GTXrider would indeed see worms and gophers out the window. Since his building is built into the side of a big hill, the section where he is would have an underground view. He might also see moles along with the other critters. I guess MA Bell wants everyone to watch what their monitoring and not be taking in the outdoor scenery. Actually, I think part of it is for security. Like the Forum Flyer he's in a secret location.
