I've been watching my local news, the Weather Channel, and WGN, and now they are all forecasting a huge blizzard sometime in the next two days. We're supposed to get at least a foot of snow in the Midwest, and it could end up being two feet before it's all over. Worse yet, this same storm could dump just as much snow on the east coast a day or two later.

I've started to get small leaks in some of the rooms of my house because of the ice dams that have formed in the gutters...... the snow melts, refreezes, melts..refreezes...it's got nowhere to go

Yup... heres our forecast...

If any local orgers want to come over and help, I'll feed all of you really really REALLY well.

Actually, we have been pretty fortunate this year. We had a lot of snow in December, but this month has been pretty mild. But our luck is apparently about to end. New York City has had over twice as much snow as we have had this winter, and they usually get about half as much snow as we do on average.

Yes....we here in ontario canada are expecting massive amounts of snow.

Honestly...they make it sound like the end of the world....we are prepared...we have food/shovels & salt....what more do we need?

The lowest for tomorrow is expected to be -3º I'm excited about it.

Yeah but don't y'all usually get blizzards every other year?
