Well, looks like we'll be battening down the hatches here in IN for the next couple of days.

Predicting up to 11 inches of snow by this time tomorrow, and lots of wind. I guess we won't be getting off as easy as we did last winter. Brrrr!

They're talking possible tornadoes down here tomorrow. I don't know which is worse.

On the bright side, pitchers and catchers report in 52 more days!

Stocked up on supplies, coffee, and Coke. Work just called and said not to report at the normal time. I usually go in at 6am, but they told me to call at 8 and see what they wanted me to do. I drive a truck and operate in east central Indiana. They say 14 inches is possible in that region.

The forcast is for 3 to 6 inches accumulation of the frozen stuff.
Let's hope the snow gets here before the wind.
I'm gonna find out how good my tarping of equipment job was.

We got about 3 inches of snow here last week with high winds. Along a 50 mile stretch of road here I counted 7 cars in the ditch. The plows were out but the winds made it so they couldn't keep up with the snow blowing across the road.

Last winter I needed my 4WD to complete a run into Maine. [img][/img] Not fun.
I'm staying home!

... and about the only thing I miss here in Tucson are the nice things about harsh winters.

I had considered moving to New England for a few years prior to moving here, but circumstances
prevented that.

Look... look HARD for the good things about your upcoming weather -- I bet you can find some.

Sometimes, you have to cherish what you have... instead of bemoan what you have not.

Believe me... of this I know.
