Latest warning for my area. Only thing that's bothersome to me is that f'ing wind.
...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM FRIDAY TO 7 AM EST
SUNDAY...
* WHAT...Heavy snow and strong winds expected. Total snow
accumulations of 6 to 10 inches. Winds gusting as high as 60
mph. A rapid switch from rain to snow with sharply falling
temperatures into the teens and single digits will result in a
flash freeze on Friday. From Friday afternoon through most of
the weekend, very strong winds, lake effect snow, and blowing
snow will produce localized blizzard conditions.
* WHERE...Monroe county. Greatest snow accumulation across western
portions of the county.
* WHEN...From 10 AM Friday to 7 AM EST Sunday.

Maybe 3" of snow on the ground this morning in the Madison area, easy to remove light type. It's still snowing now but not too seriously.
As bad as Wisconsin winters can be I am very glad I do not live east of the Great Lakes.
If it bleeds, it reads. It’s all about viewership numbers.
Still not as bad as when a hurricane approaches though. The news makes it sound like the whole state of Florida is going to die.
It was pretty rough where I live.
I'm still waiting for FEMA to drop a grand or two my way when we have a cold, snowy winter... like this one - lol.
I don’t know if I should have liked your post because you guys got slammed. Terrible situation.
This always gets me too. Like do you hear Wausau, WI, Houghton, MI or even Buffalo, NY screaming for federal money when we they dumped with snow? No, of course not and it's guaranteed to happen several times a year and those communities/states budget for it.
Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and even east coast states should have a couple billion slush fund to tap when a hurricane hits because it's essentially guaranteed to happen at least once every 20 years. Billions in federal money should not be used when people willingly choose to live in areas that will get hit by hurricanes.

I've been in Colorado for almost 30 years and they are freaking out about -10 and 4-5" of snow. That has literally happened almost every winter I've been here. It's usually in January and not December but I'm not sure what the big deal is. It's going to be around 40 Saturday and close to 50 on Christmas Day.
All good, and yeah we did. It's still a mess here and will be for years. That said, it's gonna be cold Saturday and Sunday. Might actually have to turn the heat on seeing we have family Christmas Eve, and a bunch of friends/neighbors Christmas Day for brunch and booze. My wife is always so proud of me when I pop a beer at 8am those days. lol
The ARGO is ready, and the EGO snowblower came out of the basement yesterday and went to its duty station in the front garage.
Not too bad yet.. Only feels like -38.

Makes my "feels like" temp of -14 seem balmy in comparison.
We are still slightly above 0 but that will be changing within the next 4 hours.
Yeah cold is cold really. Got to be careful that's for sure. I'm predicting at least -50 tonight. Wind gusts are picking up.

I would like to jump in here. I highly suggest you go through even a Cat 2 hurricane. It'll scare your ass with winds blowing 120. 120, I don't even close my shutters. Pretty sure a snow storm is not close to a hurricane, especially a big one with 140MPH plus Not sure a snow storm will cause wide spread damage like these things. Is your house unliveable, are the trusses even there? Y'all choose to live were it is cold, and dumps snows. FYI, I've never got a dime of FEMA $$. Come on down next storm, they're interesting.

Is this dude seriously trying to compare a snow storm to a hurricane ??
Where is the storm surge with snow ?

The same time they changed their radar color map to "We're all gonna die red"
Turn off the weatherchannel man, they are a 100% absolute piece of shit
In @black4vcobra post, you could change the first couple of states and then substitute winter storm for hurricane and it would be the exact same thing

Every region has its fight with mother nature, you choose what fight you want to knuckle up for.

I guess. I've been through 5 of these damn things, and they're violent as hell. 150+ was for sure. Doesn't make for fun day. I have videos, but refuse to do you tube to load them.
