Woohoo....hope the boys are home with me an extra day tomorrow. Just love it when they get snow days. It is so pretty. I just wish I wasn't sick, and could have gone out to enjoy a little snowball fight. Everyone be safe!!! PLEASE don't drive unless absolutely necessary and if so, please drive S L O W.

Wow.... Now people are thinking that the weather is a conspiracy. What's next?

shamesville, get a clue before you spew nonsense about the NWS. First, they have nothing to do with the news media. Second, they ONLY issue a winter storm warning when one or more of the following weather events are expected to occur within 12 hours:
.
more than 6” of snow (or 8” <= 24 hrs) - freezing rain (< ¼ inch and while accompanied by another event) ... sleet accumulations of 2 inches or more ... intermittent blowing snow reducing visibilities to <½ mile & winds 25-34 mph, or closed roads ... forecaster discretion example: <= 6” of snow with sustained winds/frequent gusts of 25-34mph.

The first snow real sticking snow of the year is so festively beautiful when you don't have to drive too far for work. But by January, I would be happy to see it just all go away! blah! :)

Let it snow! Oh yeah!

I vote against the proposed snow.

Jade--I am with you. I hate the snow too. Last year I went in the ditch and I don't want that to happen again..!! so scary... Going to Florida for a week in Feb 2009 for a week. Hope some day to move there...!!!

Snow blows.... :P

I'll be interested to see what happens on the Interstate, between the Stateline and Madison by tomorrow morning. With the additional paved cut-throughs, between the east/west bound lanes, they recently put in... we'll see if they are ahead of the accumulations enough to make the investment worth while.

If they (D.O.T.) are actually able to use the cut-throughs to turn traffic around and clear the Interstate, will they do it in time? They have added a salt depot in the old west bound weigh station near Cty N... Hopefully this will be enough to keep that 6-7 mile stretch from Cty N to Hwy 51 near Coachman's open. I think this is the most treacherous local area on the Interstate for blowing snow and sheet ice due to the open areas of flat fields on both sides of the Interstate.

There is an electronic sign (one at least, that I've seen...) on the East bound side, on the overpass at 12/18, to close the Interstate. If the weather gets really bad, with the holiday traffic, while they close the Interstate?

I'd hate to see a repeat of last year!

I hate the snow already.

we have our own plow company, as much as i'd LOVE to spend time with my husband who's always busy or hunting right now, the $ would be nice too!
I feel bad for some of the people that cant afford their plowing bills this year, in this economy!

I'll believe it when I see it! Up by Osseo its a white out and down here is just flakes. I do wish for a lot of snow.
