Just got home. It's sloppy slushy yucky out there. I'll post a photo I took on the way home, as soon as my phone sends it to my e-mail. I can't find the little connector thingy from phone to PC.

Ah, here it is. Lovely day, isn't it? Weather folks say we're supposed to get 6-8" or maybe 12" depending on who's talking.

I think this line's mostly filler.

It's sticking on the roads, wherever there aren't any trees.

We just got an emergency e-mail alert from the County saying it will be 20 to 30 inches. Holy crap. I'm starting to wonder about the roof. Will a Virginian roof built to the shoddy post war building standards of 60 years ago hold that much weight?

We have about 1 inch now.

Good question, glatt. I'm worried about the aluminum roof over our chicken run.

Isn't your roof sloped?
You could always shovel it if its worrying you.

This is NOT a major snowstorm, people! The area weathercasters should be taken out and, while not actually flogged, at least spoken harshly to.

You hush.

We're hoping for several feet and many days of sled use.

I hope all stays well with dwellers in the 20+ inches area of this storm.

About a foot so far, but the heavy stuff is supposed to come in the morning.

Hard to tell how much we have. The wind is blowing it around so much. I'd guess anywhere from 10 inches to 14 inches, just looking out the window.

Ha ha, that's a wolf face off a mini-shopping bag.
Looks like it might get serious... and the wind chill is 5.
