Well, we could say they were right this time about the snow. Yesterday it snowed all day and early this morning I was up and out. Our town reported this morning a total snow of 12.2 inches for the storm.
It was so windy last night that most of the towns around here stopped snow removal soon after it got dark and picked up in the morning light. Just to keep their drivers safe which was I think the right thing to do.
As usually happens around here the snow is going to be followed by a big drop in the temperature. Before the storms we were in the mid 30’s, during the storm it stayed right at 30F and now we are at 18F. For the next 3 or 4 days we are looking at temperatures around 5F (-15c) during the day and near -20F (-28.8c) at night.
Hope everyone in this storm had been safe and the next couple of days they are smart about this cold. So far, I have made it safe even know this morning I went to the store and yeah, the roads were not cleared very well but I drove safe and made it home in one piece.

@kaylachan you would be surprised at the people around here that have lived their whole lives in the area and still act like it is their first winter.

@Bensen32 I'm not a kid either. But if I were to visit a country with snow, I would play in it.

@mildredtabitha LOL I could see that if you live in a place where you never get any certainly you just have to play in it.

@Bensen32 When I lived in Milwaukee we usually got more than places like Waukesha and Pewaukee and Sussex because of the lake effect off Lake Michigan. But of course it was always a toss up. I remember one year Cudahy got slammed and we only got an inch or so.

All that snow sounds terrible. Glad you made it back safe. Ours is supposed to come Monday and Tuesday. I really don't like snow.
