Midwestern ice/snow storm

And because it's not on the Eastern seaboard and not outside their window, it will be underplayed by the mainstream media.

 

Where is this storm coming from ? I don't see much on national radar.

 

It's going to form across the midwest from the cold air mass and the influx of gulf moisture, intersecting tomorrow night across Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri to start.

 

And spreading all the way to the East coast Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

What happens when you insist that she fire it up while you enjoy a cold beverage indoors?

 

13-17 inches predicted here. AccuWeather is saying 9.6 inches, so that makes me feel a little better.

Went to the store tonight — the bread shelves were empty.

 

Chicago has bad weather?

 

That was the best, most informative post I've seen printdust make in a while.

 

So here we're to get either 20 inches of snow Tuesday and Wednesday to put on top of the four feet of pretty much unmelted snow we have gotten in the past three weeks, or a mere eight to 10 inches of snow sandwiching a half-inch to an inch of ice.
Gosh, it's just hard to choose between such appealing options. Actually, it's not. Better five feet of snow than any ice whatsoever.

 

Accuweather's calling for 11.something inches here. FUN!
