Still showing 3-7" of snow with the ice you mentioned for Dover. Might be total accumulation by Wednesday though.

Calling BS on all of this!!!!!!

Last summer the "experts" said during one storm we would have multiple tornadoes and "HEAVY, HEAVY" rain! Well....... the big storm finally hit, and............ The wind blew for 10 minutes and it rained for 30 seconds!!!!! These "experts" are wrong more times than the are right! All these guys are doing is hyping this thing to get ratings! I said it last summer and I'll say it again.... They cry wolf so many times that people are tuning it out!!!! Now run and get your groceries and panic! And when we get out 1" of snow you all will have been had again!

Are you talking about the storm that blew over Lake high school? because thats the only one i remember where they said anything like that.

Nope. It's not supposed to start until tomorrow. Until then I wait, shotgun in one hand, bottle of whiskey in another, loaves of bread and rations of cheese doodles tucked safely away for snowmageddon.

Hope you have spare whisky. From my experiences, snowmageddon is AT MINIMUM, a two-bottle experience. And I'd go for 4+ to be safe.

By I30, do you mean the US 30 that's by Findlay, Mansfield, etc.? If so, I'm about 20-25 miles south of it. Joy...if things operate off proportions, that'd be about .35" ice.

We got that news at our management meeting today. People are already calling off for tomorrow and Wednesday.

I put about 7 70lbs bags of sand in the truck, hopefully that will get me to work as its highly unlikely we shut down.

Just hope the power doesn't go out but it should be a good time tomorrow afternoon.

Lucky me. At least I only live about .5 miles from work. As long as I can get down the driveway, I'm cool. And I guess I should hope the electricity doesn't go away. That's kinda important...

You said "your forecast", thought you were implying I was the one reading the models and such.
