That's not terrifying. That's pure JOY for the Snow Weenies on this board.

I've had two Franzillas in my lifetime, January 1996 with 34 inches and the snowicane of February 2010 35 inches. Technically just short of a Frankzilla but close enough.
Terrifying is not the term I would use either, Paradise, Utopia, Nirvana, Heaven, Euphoria, Bliss, exaltation. Even those words don't do a Frankzilla storm justice.

Let's face Spring will be here Wednesday my Birthday. It will not snow according to NWS they the Pros so I go with the Pros! Get those lawnmowers ready you will be using them before ya know it!
The potential for significant impacts from a coastal storm Monday
night through Wednesday night has decreased from previous forecasts.
However, given the uncertainty in the track of the storm 3 to 5 days
out, it is still too soon to dismiss the threat of heavy rain, wet
snow, strong winds and coastal flooding.
