Have fun
We where supposed to get a little less than that last weekend. As usual the weather readers were short by half or more. But I guess they got the views that pays the bills. The "weather" is the remaining reason that I tune in at all but its just more fake news.

We are supposed to get around 1/2" of ice Wednesday night. Mostly freezing rain with sleet to top it off. That usually means power outages.

Out here, when they say be prepaired for an inch, well get 10”. When they say were going ti be slammed by 10”, we get 1/4”.

and they still keep their jobs.

20 inches? Naw man, more like 10-12. I mean, I'm hopeful for 16-20 myself, but it's an outside chance at this point. The second wave of the storm, on thursday, is likely to miss Michigan to our south. If that's wrong and it swings up here, certainly could get a few more inches easily on Thurs. Eagerly watching this one, tomorrow's gonna be fun.

A wait and see game.

I'm not looking forward to driving home from work tomorrow. Hopefully get a work-from-home suggestion for weds/thurs...

I've had numerous storms warnings the last week that totalled 0.5'' snow. This forcefield of tractor ownership is immense.

Just don't send your left overs storm our way.

 

[Buppies]

Thomas it’s coming maybe one on Sunday too

They keep changing their mind for central Ohio. An inch of rain Wed. changing to
freezing rain then snow on Thur. with 8-10 accumulation. Dont need the 15-25 mph wind.

Not looking forward to the ice , but we are so dry here my pond is the lowest i have seen in 30 yrs. They are saying up to 12 inches here.

don't worry, I took the time to hook up the snow blower. Guaranteed to be a dud now!

Ice balls just started falling here...should turn to snow soon expecting a bit less than a foot.

 

[ArlyA]

We are at about 130" now.

 

[Dragonpharm]

Our forecast in central Illinois is for 12-18" of snow. People are losing their minds. Government offices announced closing for 2 days before it even started.

 

[ArlyA]

They may not have the infrastructure or machinery to take care of it. We do and rarely close schools for it.

I have just the opposite effect. We just moved to the Okanogan from the wet side of the state, but we studied the weather data for past years and figured that we could handle whatever the winter sent us since it was something like 36 inches annually spread over three months with four to five inches the max from any one event. Reality; 48 inches from Dec. 20- January 10, with 8, 10 and 12 inch snow falls with the winds in one storm blowing 25-40 mph leaving 3 to four foot drifts over a half mile of road, followed by another storm that dropped the 12" pushed by 10-18 mph winds. Locals said it's the worst in 20 years. Fortunately, the last four weeks have been without significant snow and next weeks forecast shows a slowly warning above freezing trend.

A couple of us are planning an hour drive to teach classes on Thursday evening. 10-17” forecast. So... yeah... that’ll be interesting
