Snowmageddon!

[BigRed]

I am considering wearing a mask tomorrow.

I know it will not stop the snow, but when it is over I can rest in the fact that there would have been more snow had I not worn a mask.

As of 03:00, it sure looks like Indy will be rain only. Michigan will be dumped on.

I probably won't go in later today.

Forecast (10:00 PM) showed rain all day with 1” of snow.
Thursday was supposed to be 5” to 8” of snow on top of the ice snow.
Will be interesting to see.
Regardless you be safe out there BT

I can feel it, coming in the air tonight...

The weather dufous' get way ahead of their models... Betting 8" or less here in the north central sector. I'm so old, I still miss 'Swoop Mclain'.

Just arrived in KC from Jeffersonville.

Between St.Louis and Columbia it was white out conditions. Looked like the hi way of death cars and trucks everywhere.

I have driven that stretch of I70 in what by northern Indiana standards would be called a moderate snow storm. Maybe 3-5" over 5-6 hours. It took us 6 hours to go from STL to Columbia. Not a single snowplow to be found. Like you said, cars and trucks in the ditch everywhere.

We stopped in Columbia and got a hotel room. On the plus side, the Drury's Inn had a free beer/wine and tacos happy hour that started just as we were checking in.

The next morning at 6am, I-70 was clear like it never even snowed.

Wabash right now around 39F and rain.....now saying snow around 11 am.....global warming killing it. Heard it was snowing good in Goshen though.

...Heard it was snowing good in Goshen though.

It was a dim lights only kinda drive this morning from Wakarusa to Elkhart. Snowing pretty good. Roads were a slushy, sloppy, slippery mess.

The large contingent of trailer factory workers headed south down SR19 were way off their normal 70MPH pace. Down to more like 20-25MPH.

Working in a factory all my life I'm guessing with 30" of snow and -90 below those guys will have to work tomorrow also, LOL. I worked a place and everyone in town shut down at 10am and sent people home. We had to stay until 1pm...made it half way home before getting stuck in deep snow and walked the rest of the way. After that I took my own snow days and stayed home.

Just now transitioning here from rain to snow/sleet just north of 74 on the western edge of the state.

I am just south of you in Eugene, about 10 miles south of I-74 and just a few miles from Illinois. Been raining about all night but not freezing yet or snowing. Just looked at radar and looks like the snow is getting close. We are retired so no where we have to go and have plenty of food for days. Jim.

The local news up N had a full half hour on 3" of snow so far. The weather gals are still hoping for for the full 12".

Yeah. I'm usually a Nokian man but I got them Blizzaks really cheap. We'll see how they compare.

For my 2006 Daytona, I had Blizzak LM-32s mounted on the stock 18" rims, and Toyo Proxes on 20" chromes. Paid for the concierge service at Belle Tire for the storage and seasonal swap.

The Toyos were a great summer tire, but God forbid the temperature dipped below 50°, or there was a flake of snow within 100 miles. The Blizzaks, on the other hand, were beasts in the snow. I was commuting between Ft.Wayne and New Paris back then, mostly on 2 lane state roads. Many times I was the first car on SR 15 in the AM and the high torque, rear wheel drive Charger always blazed the trail with few issues.

I highly recommend the Blizzaks. They ain't cheap, but certainly worth it.

We just drove across MO and KS on our way to see my son stationed at Peterson. It was over the holidays so no bad weather at all, just a boring drive, lol. We did see these gates when we got further west, googled it and they will lower the gates when the roads get bad enough. They had to do this to keep daredevil drivers from going no matter what and getting stuck, dying, all that stuff.

Apparently they are closed very rarely.

Good luck. Are you are not in one of your Challengers?

BTW, 43 degrees and raining here.

Up here in NWI we have about 6" so far. Lots of idiots stuck and slid off the road on my way into work at 6:30

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

Right on the blue-pink-yellow line, getting what sound like ice pellets and freezing rain. Sit-rep 8:37.

 

[mom45]

It looks pretty and it's a good excuse to stay home.

Pretty rough storm down here on Vieques.
