It’s been exactly a year without my mom and I’ve found it’s the little things that I miss and make me the most emotional. Point in case, the notes she’d leave me when she couldn’t stay up until I came back from work or when she left to run an errand. Miss you, Mom. ❤️

The newest HRRR model run has 70 inches of snow falling in less than 24 hours just south of Buffalo, NY. This is shaping up to be potentially one of the most extreme snowstorms in US history.
