The worst case is always interesting.... But the NWS forecast currently says less than an inch tonight and less than an inch tomorrow. Might be a sloppy commute tomorrow though.
Makes you wonder, if the NWS doesn't know what the NWS is forecasting, what good is a NWS forecast. The URGENT area advisory is 1-3.
I think I'll sleep in and let it melt, if there is anything to melt

Yeah, the forecast now says 1 inch tonight and 1 to 2 inches tomorrow. Not so worried about that. Looks like the new snowblower is going to be drained and stored without getting any use this year. I heat with wood and don't think I will even burn half as much as last winter. That's fine with me.

That is funny. Mine got the workout of it's life.

Yep. less to split for next year.
Wow, we might get that "worst case" condition down here. Big wet flakes coming down steady here now, about 4 inches on the car but not so much on the warm driveway. 34 degrees now, going up to 40, hopefully it gets warm enough to melt a bunch of it before dropping below freezing tonight. Right now it's really sticking to the trees….

@Teegate - with about 800 feet of driveway, I don't use the snowblower unless my car can't drive through the snow.

Yeah, the storm headed out to sea shortly after I posted that, very light flurries now and it's melting. Just went out and the roads were warm enough that nothing stuck, even the little back roads were just wet.
You're right about the weight, I cleared 4 inches off the car and it was really heavy, wet stuff.

Snowing here, began as rain. Icy wind from the north. A good night for sorting slides 
Back to rain.
Back to rain.
