OT- next snowstorm
http://wxcaster4.com/nam/CONUS1_ETA2...WFALL_72HR.gif
I'm in the 18-20" path. Where are you?
Been a long time, if ever, since we've seen that much snow at one time. I remember one back in the 60's that was big, but local weather is calling this one "potentially historical."
Wife's Jeep might get a workout!

REALLY!! If I can tell the colors correctly that puts me in the 18" to 20" band. Good thing I can telework. I'm not sure if my wife can handle that.
I don't know. I will wait until closer to the time before I get too wound up about this.
Part of me says, cool lots of snow; the other part says oh man! lots of snow.

In the 60's here today. I put new tires on the motorcycle, but didn't finish up in time to ride today. Maybe I missed my chance? I'd poke fun at you guys, but that's a sure way to get hit with the snow. When I lived in Illinois in the early 80's we had 2 feet on the ground within 24 hours. I don't miss that!

Garry,
From what I've seen it's supposed to be here Monday night/Tuesday morning.
Should be done snowing by Wednesday morning and getting sunny and cold (if you think 28°F. is cold) Thursday with temps climbing to the 40's for Friday.
What time do you arrive?

No thanks!!! I still have vivid memories of the ice storm two winters ago. 30 hours without power, tree limbs down everywhere including through the back window of my car, and a couple days of work cleaning our yard. And we didn't have it as bad as some areas of the country.

That weekend I'd agreed to haul my trailer to the Georgia/Florida state line to pick a truck for a friend. Knew the storm was coming, but had no clue it'd be that bad. Locked in the hubs around Mt. Vernon, Il, and from there to Nashville, TN, it was 20 mph with trees falling all along the interstate. And in some areas on the interstate. Got the truck picked up and decided to head back up I-55 instead of going the way I came. Just as bad along there, and darn near ran out of gas in the process. Did find one gas station operating on a generator. I think I had somebody besides the dog riding with me. I'll take snow any day. Stu
