Looks like we in Wisconsin are on the bulls-eye for the approaching snow storm. Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa along the path. Right now calling for 6"-10"+, extreme winds with white out, blizzard conditions.
Looks like a good work out for the stove. I've got plenty of gas for the snowblowers and emergency generator in case the power goes out.
Mix of rain and snow coming in the early part of the storm, heavy wet stuff so will hang tight and see what happens Thrusday-Friday.
Everyone to the SW of us let us know how it's doing there and stay safe.

Yep. Here in Iowa, we are in the path too. If it is wet snow, i don't see the wind being a problem as far as blowing snow, but might play with the power some. Suppose to drop here mostly Wednesday nite.

OUCH, now they are saying possible 18". I love winter but 18" is to much at one time for me. Heavy snow and 40mph winds with gusts to 60mph, this one could cause some real problems.
I see the latest radar and it looks like Iowa is getting mostly rain, hope that doesn't turn and freeze on you folks down that way.

Wind has picked up considerable. Snowing in Des Moines. They are still calling for 10" or more of that white stuff! And 40 mph winds tomorrow.

Just started snowing here.

Are the pellets the type for the rifle? Mrs Pete likes to drive the 4x4 so she can get herself to work, I just need to bust the apron at the end of the driveway.

Looking at the current radar and it looks to me like it's moving more north than heading right at us. I guess as it cools tonight it might expand and come right at us. They haven't downgraded anything as of yet, if anything they are adding counties to the blizzard warning.

Stay safe and warm everyone.

Well, now that you mention it, i do have both kinds of pellets. But lots of other ammo also. And i don't like mama driving my 4x4's.

Stay warm and safe, guys!
