Storm predictions?

[Cru]

snowmobiles are fun, but BE CAREFUL OF FENCES.

Kid in HS was killed running into a barbed wire fence.

Can I borrow your shovel? IF the weather were to cause a week long power outage here then I can guarantee without a doubt that I will have the best shoveled sidewalk in the area. Two kids and their mom in a small house for an extended period of time would lead to some serious outside labor.

Note...I did not say it would be me doing the shoveling as I am smarter than your average 2nd grader

, in my neighborhood there is always someone walking around asking for $$ to shovel and im happy to oblige.

18-24 here, hope we get it all, i FREAKIN love snow! It does make for an interesting ride home from work at 1am. Beats the hell out of severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings!!!!

 

[bwframe]

I'd love to ride a snowmobile...

The magic of INGO puts you a couple PMs, maybe a phone call, and a drive away from that. That's been my experience anyway.

I think Weather men are paid under the table to predict bad weather so people will spend more money....and it works

 

[JohnP82]

I predict the tv weather people will be wrong again.

That's a pretty solid prediction.

I really hope so!

I predict we will get one inch of snow, and hundreds if not thousands of people will slide off the road, because 90% of people on the road have absolutely no clue in the world how to drive.

I should buy a wrecker and make a fortune.

I am with you there. I have never had to shovel rain...LOL

I'm scared to predict, but I'm rooting on Btown getting rain only to start with. After that, I don't really care about inches of snow. Freezing rain and power outages are a PIA.

Try locating a gravesite, getting your equipment in and then digging in all that! Then there's clearing the drive's for the procession and a path to the site that is dry and safe so someone doesn't slip and fall and then sue our pants off. All done with just a day's notice too. It get's pretty hectic in my line of business when these storms hit but hey, after 30 years of doing it, it's pretty routine. This is northern Indiana and you expect and prepare for it and it just makes you appreciate spring that much better.

I'll just watch whatever happens. I'm retired, so I don't have to go anywhere, and my generator works just fine, 150 gallons of fuel for it, and we've got right at 6 months worth of food/water.

I will be getting the blade put on the truck this morning when I get home from work, and have the wife's Jeep set with all the things she will need in the event of a slide off(blankets, etc). As for snow, oh let's say 14" when its said and done.

No prediction. Just going through the checklist and making sure we have everything we will need.

I am with you there. I have never had to shovel rain...LOL

Not even during the first weekend of June '08?

Well its started here with ICE.

 

[henktermaat]

I'm just north of indy, I predict, wintery mix and 5" of snow for Noblesville

Me too. I'm not to excited or concerned.

That's what I am hoping for as well. I'd rather not have to deal with a power outage this time of year.

 

[IrishSon of Liberty]

I do business with a guy in Chicago every day. Talking with him this morning, they were talking 28 inches possible, with 50+mph winds. Drifting snow up to ten feet! I'd say O'hare will be closed for a few days if that happens.

Anyway, as for the Ft. Wayne area, I'm hoping it stays snow only. If we successfully avoid the ice, I'm guessing about 8-10 inches total, but blowing and drifting will be the problem. High winds on the backside of the storm.

 

[Cru]

The storm started a few hours ago. Thin layer of ice on all roads. Had to go to mall to drop of a jacket wife mended for a friend. People were spinning their wheels on ice all over the place.

This is going to be one fun ride.So much for global warming.
