Us Midwesterners
« on: January 31, 2011, 07:48:45 PM »
Were screwed this go around, especially in my part of IL.  Worst case we can see 3/4 an inch of freezing rain before its all over. Id rather have the 16+ inches of snow at least I would still have power, trees, and other aerial objects that the ice and 40+ winds will bring down

I'm up in the 16+ inches area.  We haven't had a really big snow this year. (when I was a kid it seemed like non-stop snow from December to March.)  Half of me is looking forward to it because I find it beautiful, the other half is dreading it because I must go to work on Wednesday morning, so no snow day for me. I'll be out of the house by 5:45am so it will be nice sharing the road with no one but the snowplows. I'm glad I still got the wrangler for 1 last season.

I'm in Kentucky, I am truly sorry for you folks. 48 degrees and just a bunch of rain for us.

Stay as safe as you can. <S>

I'm hoping the trees haven't recovered too much from the 2006 storm . . .

Awaiting freezing rain here in Ohio. I prefer snow over freezing rain IMO.

It was 75 degrees here over the weekend.  Right now outside it's pouring down sleet, like a hard rain, but it's all sleet.  At least an inch of the little ice pellets out there right now.  Supposed to get 10-12 inches of snow on top of this. 

Still going to have to go to work tomorrow too.   :mad:

We've been lucky so far here in Michigan this year.  If, and I say if we get what they say we're going to this will be our biggest storm of the year.  I only say if because a few years back they were saying the same thing about the country and no one even got a dusting!  So, that's what I'm going with due to the fact that too many people are stupid here when it comes to big snowfalls!

This one is running south of the Dakota's, so its missing us by a mile. All we have is the cold and the wind feeding it from the back side.

Hang tough out there!

Purdue just canceled classes.  Purdue "never" cancels classes.  The last snow day was four years ago.  The one before that was in 1999, before that was 1994, and before that was 1984.  So that makes this only the 5th time in 30 years.  And tomorrow the conditions should be far worse than they are right now.

So all that time studying yesterday for my OBHR exam today... wasted!  Whatever shall I do?

Nice glaze on everything here this morning, maybe .06" worth of ice. Roads seem clear but forcasting up to 1/2" of freezing rain accumulation on surfaces today. Temp was at 32 at 6 but 30 here at 7:15am.

St. Louis just got hit with a blizzard warning. 10-20" of snow projected in our area.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
