Good day to you all, Just wanted to say hello. We are preparing for a winter storm here even though I doubt it will be as bad as they are saying. Been like that the last 10 years or maybe even more, they hype these storms up and then they usually are not that bad at all. I assume it is to get us to tune in and listen to the news so they can make more money. It’s the only reason I can see them doing this all the time. Right now, they are calling for 4-7 inches of snow followed by 40-50 mph winds causing blizzard like conditions with wind chill readings as low as 20-30 below zero. Again, I will believe it when I see it. They had been telling us all week to get out and get prepared with extra food and water and such. Funny thing to me is if you have lived in an area where there is snow in the winter shouldn’t you already know that? Why do they feel the need to tell people over and over again. I mean if you aren’t smart enough to prepare, I guess you’re out of luck. Well we will see how this storm turns out come tomorrow.

@Bensen32 good, good. I saw on the news that a big winter storm is coming. Even the President was talking about it. I know it will be strong, but I hope it will be over soon .

I hope you would be safe and sound when the storm comes. Nature is a formidable force but the human spirit is more formidable than all the storms in this world. Stay safe and healthy.

I'm hoping the storm isn't as bad as they're predicting but I'm prepared if it is. Hope it isn't too bad for you either
