Meanwhile, here in Maine, this is what we are looking forward to:

And snowmobilers and skiers grew more excited as the weekend weather forecasts of big snowfall totals grew more certain.
The storm expected to hit Friday and Saturday could dump 2 feet or more of snow in parts of southern Maine, which would be more than any storm in more than three decades, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather service Thursday issued a blizzard warning from coastal York County through Waldo County, and winter storm warnings and advisories are in place for much of the state.
Snow could start falling in southern Maine shortly after midnight, forecasts predict. It is expected to continue into Saturday afternoon, said James Brown, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray.
"We have pretty fair confidence most places are going to get at least a foot to a foot-and-a-half of snow," Brown said.
Some areas along the coast of Maine and New Hampshire could get more than 2 feet of snow, depending on how the storm tracks, Brown said. He said the last time southern Maine recorded 2 feet or more of snow in one storm was in 1979.
The storm also will bring windy conditions and the chance of coastal flooding.
Brown said the last time southern Maine recorded 2 feet or more of snow in one storm was in 1979. An October 2011 storm that dumped 22 inches of snow on Concord, N.H., amounted to just shy of 6 inches of snow in Portland.
James Budway, director of Cumberland County Emergency Management Agency, said he and other officials are keeping a close eye on the storm track.
A shift of 20 to 30 miles in the track of the storm could drastically change the amount of snow the area receives, he said.
"The next 24 hours will be crucial in looking at the storm to see what we'll be doing," he said.
The Maine Turnpike Authority officials began warning drivers Thursday to pay attention to the conditions and adjust their driving accordingly.
The turnpike's Facebook and Twitter pages will be updated regularly with information about road conditions, accidents and delays, said spokesman Dan Morin.
"If you don't need to be out Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon, we urge you to stay home," Morin said. "This could get quite messy."
