"Welcome to winter in the Midwest."

 

[Jazzy]

^ That's a nasty looking forecast.

Looks like I'm okay until tomorrow night:

A STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
WITH A VARIETY OF WINTRY MIXED PRECIPITATION. SOME SNOW AND ICE
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE. MILDER AIR FILTERING NORTHWARD
WILL LIKELY CHANGE THE PRECIPITATION TO ALL RAIN FOR A PERIOD OF
TIME ON SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING BEFORE COLDER AIR RETURNS
LATER IN THE DAY MONDAY WITH A TRANSITION BACK TO LIGHT SNOW OR
SNOW SHOWERS. SOME IMPACT TO TRAVEL CAN BE EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY
SUNDAY NIGHT...DUE TO SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS.

We do NOT need any more ice in this area.

 

[Shadowfire]

We're gonna get 8" to 13" of snow if FOX 59 is right.
