It's coming for me too.

Sunday: Periods of snow, mainly after 1pm. High near 20. Wind chill values as low as -6. East wind between 5 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

Sunday Night: Periods of snow possibly mixed with sleet before 1am, then periods of freezing rain and sleet. Low around 20. East wind between 10 and 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Little or no ice accumulation expected. New snow and sleet accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.

I got it here in Toledo too :( I drove my Envoy to work instead of my xA to prepare though...first it snowed 2" then an inch of freezing rain on top of that.

It'll be fun driving home to the 'burbs at midnight tonight.

I just got done driving from downtown detroit to ann arbor and it was not fun. The express ways weren't too bad, except for the people going 30mph. Once on the regular streets it was a different story. I got into town after the freezing rain had started and the roads were still snow covered. Washtenaw was a parking lot after US23

Then, I had the profound joy of going 8mph following a car down another street. The good news is that he DID see the cop and slowed down to a more respectable 5mph so we didn't get pulled over for speeding

snow makes you appreciate summer all the more.

but it does give you a great excuse for lots of cuddling with your SO.

LOL

I have the Envoy with me dude- it's like driving a leather furnature store on 4 wheel drive :) I could fall asleep on those heated seats. Plenty of room for the boys to strech out.

Snowing like mad here in Bellingham WA. Right after this snow storm another one is following with heavy rain and wind. They're calling for up to 100mph gusts and up to 5 inches of rain.

Beautiful.

I found race relations far better in the South than in any Northern area. Also found a lot of the other stereotypes about the South were totally whacked.
