Now I'm jealous. The man is not letting us off early today. . .at least not as of yet.

 

[Metron]

Was 77 and sunny yesterday in north Texas... 26 with sleet and snow expected for tomorrow!

 

[iamwiz82]

They haven't said any firm totals for Michigan yet. Hopefully it swings south.

 

[Heisenberg]

Good luck. We're just north of that whole mess so there's only a slight chance of any ice/snow here.

 

[Dualist]

Well, good luck getting through the cold and stormy weather over there.

Gonna be 70 in the morning when I get to work and in the low 40s/upper 30s when I leave at 5:00.

Yay!

 

[jupiter57]

Are you leaving work early today?
The warning isn't in effect until noon tomorrow.

Anyway, in South Central KY. we are supposed to get some of the same, only they are calling for mostly rain starting tomorrow morning before it turns into snow on Friday morning, with the temps staying in the mid 40s. Not even guessing at snow accumulation as of yet.
Highs only in the mid 30's this weekend though!

This storm iced my damn bick lock shut .

 

[sixone]

We already had two rounds of hail/sleet today. Nothing since then...yet.

 

[torpid]

I actually got worried for a second and thought about checking the weather here. Then I realized I don't have to drive anymore, because I moved within 5 blocks of work a few weeks back.

 

[MaxDepth]

Just in case, what do you want in the St. Bernard's cask: gin, whiskey, vodka?

 

[userman]

Im in Poplar Bluff MO and its in the 60s and supposed to drop to the lower 30s with 7-8 Inches of snow.

 

[SparkyJJO]

Is it headed east? I'm in ohio and I noticed on my google homepage we are supposed to get snow here on friday supposedly, but haven't looked at any details.
