You lie.

Right now its 7.4 for Findlay for Friday and Saturday with high wind gusts of 41 and sustained of 26.

How is that a lie? I do believe 7.4 falls in between 1 and 16.

True but how many do you really think we'll end up with?

I wouldn't mind being snow bound for a couple of days as long as the electricity and cable don't get knocked out. Oh, and that we are fully stocked with beer and other necessities.

Damn skippy! If I'm getting snowed in, you'd better believe I'll have plenty of beer and smokes.

You've got the right idea, power_i! If I'm getting stuck, you sure don't want to be around me during nicotine withdrawl!

We have become so wussified that it's almost hard to take.
Did you also have to walk to school? Uphill? Both ways?

Never noticed that Devil. Mine says 6.5. I would be more than happy to actually get that, but I still think that is a bit high.

Yeah we haven't had really any major snow this year, I think we'll end up around 4-5 but the wind could make it seem worse.
