Is anyone else snowed in?

[Danzig]

down here in arkansas, multiple tornadoes and hail, etc. some folks still missing. luckily we were further north and missed all the bad weather. weren't sure we would have a house to come back to, but everything's good here. but about an hour north/northeast, it got pretty bad. national guard was called out to help with the cleanup. 27 injured so far over there-little place on the map called Dumas.

Wow, I lucked out apparently.

Today is my first day of my new schedule of working 830-530 so you can imagine how nervous i got listening to PMayjr and AJ talk about snow.

Looks like it snowed here about 3 inches or so and it appears to have frozen but the drive to work wasn't TOO bad.

Hopefully it's not followed by a ton more today!

For NW Suburban Chicago they were originally predicting 10-12 inches. I'd say we got about 3. If weather forecasters are as bad at handicapping horses as they are weather, they'd go broke awfully quick.

Here too , its just, wet, cold, windy, and sloppy. Nothing to get too excited about. It looks like travel is not a real problem.

Looks like we might get an inch or two and then some freezing rain.

It's okay though, cuz last night I had major dreamage about moving back to FL. So I spent about an hour or so looking at the South Florida area where our office is.....Can you say Gulfstream!!!!

no kidding only an inch or 2? I just cleared off the cars....six inches of heavy snow here...no sleet at all...what a difference South and Braddock Mountains make I guess....

I will be more than happy to send hurricane video....lived there for 5 years and loved every minute of it.....had I known then what I know now, I would have never left.....although we weren't in South Florida we were in the Orlando area in a suberb called Lake Mary.....Absolutely loved it....
