Snowing rather actively but no forecast such as that you have.

I hope we get far less than your forecast.

I am prepared for a big storm but praying we do not get lot of accumulation.

st charles here!

the grass has snow on it, but the roads are just wet. This should only dump 2-4 inches on us. Nothing major.

WOW, almost unbelievable but then I live in a shallow world and am easy to fall to amazement. (SELF DEPRECATING FOLKS, self deprecating).

It appears that at least three of us live within a 10 mile radius.

They're calling it snow but it's just rain and sleet. The only thing I'm worried about it icy bridges.

State debate is postponed until further notice, being that Indianapolis is due for 9-12 inches. Up in this corner of the state though, it's only supposed to be 3-4.
Gotta love how the Farmers Almanac called this one way before the national weather service did.

Good luck watch out for policemen if you get into an improtu snowball fight. I hear they like to bring there guns to them in the District.

Getting damn near close to 30 inches and it's still coming down. And everything is drifting because the winds are really picking up. AND my idiot brother decided to "make a path" on our giant hill and got the 4wd Jeep stuck in a freaking ditch. So now there really is no way in HELL we can leave the house until all of the snow is cleared away. F U SNOW!
