To all my brothers and sisters in the Midwest, batten down the hatches and stay safe. This looks like a big one! Please keep yourself and your families safe.

And feel free to let us Massholes know what we are in for. With the amount of snow on the ground and the ice already clogging my gutters I've got a bad feeling about this one.:-)

We have already had 20 inches just in the Month of January this year and we are supposed to get another 10-14 today. Some places had a windchill of -32 this morning!

The windchill here in OKC is -12. It doesn't look like were going to get as much snow as they predicted though so thats a plus.

I don't know about the rest of you fellers, but I'd much rather deal with large amounts of snow than have to deal with extreme cold. You know, the kind of temperatures where when someone asks you what it's like outside, your response is "This is bulls***!"

We only got a couple of inches of snow, but right now in Denver it's -11 degrees. :-)

Edit: Oh, and forgot to mention the lovely, crisp -30 wind chill.

Got lucky here in Cinci- mostly rain. Thank God(or Gore) for Global Warming, or else we'd REALLY be in trouble!

I need to relocate, this damn snow/cold in the midwest sucks:-) Any jobs availible in Cali, Florida?:-):-)

Here in Chicago they are expecting a couple feet (doubt it) but there is also a possibility of classes getting canceled, which means midterms would be postponed. If that happens I shall be celebrating with a nice cigar.

Not so fortunate in Central Ohio. I got home from work in Columbus last night just in time. I was literally driving in front of the storm and got stuck in it for a few minutes. My windshield was starting to get covered in ice.

This morning we are covered in ice and most everything is closed. Unfortunately my job never closes, so I gotta make the trek back to Columbus (45 minute drive in good weather) at 1p and return at 11p tonight. They are saying last nights storm was nothing compared to what's about to hit in a few hours. Gotta go get some more salt so I can leave the house.

Snow I can handle, ice is a different animal altogether.

Hunker down and Good luck to all in the line of this beast.

Chicago will be getting dumped on big time, even without the lake effect snow considered.

The snow in Indianapolis is all my fault this winter. I bought a snow blade in early December expecting to use it just a couple of times.

We have about 5 to 6" on the ground here at the Lake of the Ozarks and it has not slowed down any. Local forecast is about 16-18" by midnight. Temperature is not too bad, currently 23 degrees with 10-15 mph winds.

For some that is not a lot of snow but since the all time record snowfall event here was 13" this one is well above the normal 6-8" maximum levels they are equipped to deal with.:-):-)

I plan to stay right here in this cozy condo watching the ducks on the lake until this mess clears out!:-):-):-)

Snow day here at Purdue! Too bad I don't have classes on Tuesday's.
[Reply]

I am heading out to work right about the time the blizzard is supposed to hit here. And I just caught a nasty cold on top of it...should be a lovely night tonight. :-)
[Reply]

It missed us here in the Twin Cities. We got a couple inches of snow, and it's getting a little cooler, but not too shabby. Should get to right around freezing by Friday so that's pretty awesome!
[Reply]

About 6" or so here right now in SW KC area. The east side of KC is getting it worse today. Looks like we are in for another 6 or so this afternoon. Catching up on work here at home today much better than having to worry about driving today with the wind and snow.
[Reply]

Yeah I-35 was wonderful yesterday... 30 degrees and misty, but no one could get over 30mph....WHY:-)
[Reply]

Looking like we are on tap for about 15" here in Buffalo tonight... hopefully it stays all snow. They were talking about the icing line getting close to the city, I sure hope that doesn't happen.
