I've seen reports that we're due 12"-18" of snow through Sunday...I should go out and take a pic of our bare driveway to give a comparison to what actually happens

I didn't get a chance to post our weather report yesterday, we were too playing outside enjoying the sunny, 75 degree afternoon. :)  Big change from last week when it was sleeting and windy as hell and in the mid-30s.

I'm hoping you keep that crap down there too.  Jeez, we warmed up finally five days ago and it's snowed every day except one ::)  Our forecast is for only about 6" of snow but it's not like they have a clue.  Thankfully we only got a little this morning. 

I'll tell you though, I prefer -30 to this stuff, it's way, way easier to drive.

That sleet we got overnight sounded like someone throwing sand at the window for 6 hours straight. It is a b**** to get off the driveway as well. Looking at the radar, the snow should start anytime, with 10-12 on the way. Maybe the kids will get to go sledding again after all.

we got a bit of sleet, too, but there's just a light dusting on the drive at the moment. Are we just going to get dumped on??

If you haven't tried to shovel it, it is like sand with glue mixed. At least at my moms place in Northeast it was sucked. I'm leaving my driveway til later when we get the real snow and I can drag out the snowblower.

Severe wind warnings in Dallas today - we're having a bit of a dust storm it seems.  It looks like Afghanistan outside.

Iowa's seeing a hell of a winter storm now, as it has since Friday afternoon. It's the first time in a very long time I've heard the DOT say travel is not advised.

My folks, who live ten miles away, and some other family that lives in the same city I do are without power, as are about 130,000 people in the state. I'm not sure how much longer I'll have power.

Now that the rain has turned to snow, it's expected that 6 to 12" of the **** will fall by Monday morning. It's a pretty terrible weekend. I couldn't even leave my apartment all day, since my garage door was frozen shut since it faced the wind and rain all night.

Seems like we got closer to 12". I shoveled the drive yesterday, but our neighbor came over this morning to blow it.

I'd say we got around 7-8" total over the weekend.  Even last night they were saying we'd still get 20"+ at the NWS which is where every newscast gets their forecasts.  There were a fews spots that did get over 15", that was few and far between.
