Not looking forward to it. I don’t care about 4-5 inches of snow but the mix and ice can stay away.
Hopefully my part of KY that borders TN will miss it. I hate winter weather except Christmas, then it can melt as fast as it came after Christmas is over.
Down here we're hoping for not much either. I have to be at work tomorrow night and I really don't want to have to drive in ice. I have hours to cover one absence but that's it. Rather not be out of work yet again. I HATE this crap.
This. I don't mind seeing one snow. But then it can go away. I'm convinced people that go "Yay! Snow! Bring it on!" are the most sheltered and entitled people. Anyone who has to work or a living or shovel out hates this crap.
Oh yeah for sure. It been snowing 30 min here and I've done tracked it down on radar and everything. Current cell seems to be clearing about 15 min from now. I'm already thinking how crappy my drive to work will be if it doesn't slow down.
The National Weather Service is pretty good. It's the forecasters on the local TV stations who need ratings so they go with the worst looking computer models.It's the National Weather Service...more likely than not it will turn out to be mid 60's and sunshine on Sunday
It's people that work for schools or daycares. They don't have to deal with it. But they don't need a major winter storm. They just need a forecast for half an inch or so or the temperature to drop down to about 10 degrees to be off work.
I have to disagree with this as I get local weather out o Evansville Ind. and they pretty well right most of the time. Hopefully we won't get that much ice. 2009 was very bad here.
I may be the exception to your possibly accurate opinion, but I freaking love a good snow. I like the challenge of it. And the beauty. I don't think I could truly be happy outside the Midwest, cause I like having all four seasons. Terrible days help you appreciate beautiful days, IMO.
Yeah - once we're down to 12 hours or so, they revise it so they look like they were close. But in the days prior, they scare people into watching.
Don't forget the eggs and toilet paper. They will be all out also. Oh, and buy plenty of bottled water, some folks will be worried about frozen pipes even though modern plumbing keeps that from happening.
NOAA is stating over 4 inches of Snow/sleet (not saying how much more yet), plus ice of up to .5 inch for Lexington/Winchester area. NOAA also stating the track is looking to go a little more south and our area could get much more snow. I do not expect to know much till tomorrow afternoon and by then we could see all snow/ all ice / all rain. lol. I have 2 bottles of propane, my generator our electric fire place that will cover 1000 sq ft area and will be stocking up on food and maybe more fuel. Generator can go propane or gas. Make sure to help neighbors, help friends and family. If you do not need to be out, stay in.
Where do you live? You're so lucky to get a lot of snow. I've lived since I was a child.
The northeast still has the four seasons. None of this quick spring / quick fall crap.
Don't want ice but love a good snow. I work outside so this stuff doesn't really bother me. I'd much rather camp in it than work in it.
Something I learned from my Father during these freezing temperatures, leave a slight drip from you water faucets so that your pipes won't freeze and bust. I also have mine wrapped with foam tubes in the crawl space under the house. Something to keep in mind for future storms if anyone has these concerns about pipes busting.
The northwestern UP of Michigan, in the Keweenaw. We get lots of lake effect snow, the average is about 280 inches a winter, good powder. Our summers can be just glorious, too.
