Winter weather advisory issued
The National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan has issued a winter weather advisory for snow and blowing snow, which is in effect from 3 a.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday.
Snow should spread into south central Wisconsin late tonight and then continue Friday into Friday evening before diminishing. Total snow accumulations of 5 to 8 inches are expected by Friday night. The duration of this snowfall will be quite long as it takes 24 hours or more for the snow to accumulate.
Winds will be relatively light Friday but will increase from the north at 10 to 20 mph Friday night. Blowing and drifting snow should continue to hamper travel Friday night even as the snow begins to taper off and end from north to south.
A winter weather advisory for snow and blowing snow means that visibilities will be limited due to a combination of falling and blowing snow. Use caution when traveling, especially in open areas.

Hey cckid, I know SEVERAL layed off / unemployed brothers of yours that are currently working for other companies, doing whatever it takes. It is called survival. If a guy /gal has a family to feed and bills to pay, kudo's to them for doing whatever it takes to make ends meet.

The city is using contractors for the sidewalk repair because there just aren't enough city employees to do the work needed. It's been discussed in many articles on that topic already.

It's winter in WISCONSIN
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below.
Oh, how I love WISCONSIN
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave WISCONSIN 'Cause I'm frozen to
the ground!

I think I read somewhere before that Janesville will never send home kids early from school because of weather. They will however delay in the morning if need be.

"5 to 8 inches are expected by Friday night"
Oh No!
It's too little, too late for me to get a snow day on Friday. And, I'm off on Saturday anyway.
