well , all week been hearing of this awful snow storm , don't get me wrong - not dissin the weatherfolks , the predictions were good all week so i took this seriously ...as did the schools and all but a few events that were planned for the area - there is a big craft beer event tomorrow at the civic center

3" is a normal winter snow - it doesn't really affect anything much save the snowplows and drivers OT to plug my driveway , we have had a bunch of those so far - will get a bunch more before winter is done ,

so far i've got about three inches - maybe more since noon way less than half what was predicted today of 6-8 inches , we have gotten a good amount of the predicted wind and drifting but its a bit calmer now ,
we shall see what tomorrow brings - predicted the same 6-8 and 25 mph with 35-50mph gusts , ill not say its not gonna happen but i'm starting to doubt it , i'm happy if that is the case as i hate starting the snow blower and spending a couple hours clearing it ,

Being a meteorologist would be a low stress job. You could be wrong a lot and still get paid. SW

yes paid well ...we got about 6" in my driveway , not the 14-18" predicted , still a pain to clear but nothing like what could have been i guess , seems to happen quite often ,

Last week here, they were forecasting 3-6" on the valley floor. It snowed for about 20 minutes-not sticking, then the sun came out.

We got the 8" that was forecast for here. What they didn't forecast was the freezing rain that started it all. Driving around here has become inter*esting
First time I've seen freezing rain below 22 F. Car was covered in ice.
Still light snow coming down now. It ain't supposed to quit until after sunset.

i feel for you , we had that freezing rain a couple weeks ago its a pain to get off the car and driving sucks , took a couple days for the sand/salt to cut it , made it a little better

Friday into Saturday we had snow ( about2"-3" ) winds @35 east gusting 45, Drifting, sleet for 2 hours, then it changed to rain. Had a slushy ice mess that weighted 30-40# per shovel. All I had to do was the walk and porch and I threw my low back out big time. Ice packs all weekend. I spread 50# of salt/ice melt so you could walk. Getting to hate winter more each year.
