[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 616477, member: 84"] This storm caught me by surprise because I don't go to work until monday and since it isn't absolutely necessary for me to drive.......I wasn't paying very close attention. I did check the forecast and temps are to plummet throughout the day down to a whopping 5 degrees tonight and lord only knows what the windchill will be with that wind because it is supposed to be strong. We already have a good 5 inches, maybe more........drifting is beginning to make it difficult to tell. Predictions I saw last night for us was 1-2, then perhaps up to 4 by the end of the day/evening. Phht. It's snowing harder. Our warning has been extended until 10 pm. I had to go out for cigarettes and to fill the tank of the car. I don't like to have it low with sub zero temps. Travis cleared it off for me.......and we bit the bullet. Now it seriously did NOT look bad. Our way to the gas station was actually not bad. But after filling up I noticed when I turned on the wipers what hit the windshield while we were sitting there had already frozen.....quick freeze style. Not a good sign. Streets were not as clear as I thought. Plows oddly aren't doing that much, even on main roads there is snow/what once was slush is quickly freezing even with traffic. So maybe that is why they're not doing much. Way out wasn't bad, way back (maybe 15 mins later) I could already tell the difference on the streets and I chose main roads for the trip back home instead of side streets. I learned to drive in snow. But I do not like ice. I may be walking to the bank ect to pay bills tomorrow instead of driving. Fun. But couldn't park due to the way they pushed what snow they did move into the parking spaces. Snow is thick on tree branches and [B]heavy[/B]. Somewhat on power lines too. I hope this doesn't mean an issue with power later but I'm ready for that at least. This is the [B]only[/B] time I miss having tv. Trying to find an actual tv type forecast online is a major pain in the rear even if you go to the station websites. It's just not the same, trust me. This afternoon I'll be fixing up my puppy crate for Midnight and bringing her inside. I'd just let her be loose in the house as she is litter box trained......but Rufus wouldn't leave her alone for a second and Bruce wouldn't either and I could imagine the fun I'd have. omg But I don't want her out in sub zero temps with no Rowdy with his fort of hay bales to snuggle with and keep warm.
