They are all freaking out over the 4-8 inches we are supposed to get here. Even if they are actually right for once it will all melt (again) when the temps go back up to the 40s Sunday.
Bob, I hope you get Jenny home safe prior!

Sounds like it could be the worst late this evening and a bit overnight. As others have said, it isn't going to stick around long. It has been an amazing winter so far.

Mid to high 40's Sunday, should take care of what comes down tonight.
Ugg, wonder if we will be buried when I get up at 5 for work?
Might just stay home, don't have to go out until late afternoon if I do.
