Yeah, we in Southern Indiana are going to get a piece of that one. I suspect AKIron in Lousville will see some as well.

...are you kidding?

And yes if a hurricane came up we wouldn't know what the hell to do.  Bur 4-6 inches is honestly not really a big deal up here.  But, of course, it's what we are use to.

Have a great white Christmas guys!  I am envious....a bit.

[Wlfgng]

I'm dreaming of a 'knee-deep-powder-day' Christmas...
as I look outside and watch it snow..


merry Christmas to all
and to all a good flight!

Terror what city do you live in?

Centralia, IL here

South Chicago may get up to 3".  I am working tonight, and I hope we get buried.  My reserve unit made some sled hills around Racine Wi, and I want to take the step up there to try it out.  And maybe even get my old butt on a sled.  The one I shaped is in Oakcreek WI. For any folks in that area wondering where it is; It's just off 20 at the intersection of I94.  Go north on the frontage from 20 on the east side of the expressway.  Take the 3rd left.  It should be a little dirt road that runs behind a small substation house.  I made it like I always wanted one when I was a shorty.  There is an upscale sub division that surrounds it so it’s in a pretty decent area.

No snow in seattle area yet...just kinda gray and yukky.

Snow is supposed to hit the hardest in southern IL where I am. I have heard anywhere from 4 to 12 inches. Each wx station says something different, so we will get an unspecified amount of snow LOL.
