It is very exciting to think that this might be our first major winter weather event... sorry to all the travelers who will be out and about. Unfortunately it is not here yet and things are always subject to not turn out the way we anticipate. I am keeping my fingers crossed for something good-- but I am convinced I live in giant, unlucky weather bubble. What have I heard it called?? Perhaps the Rockford curse or something. Here's hoping for good some good news tomorrow night! Lots of snow!
I'll take 2", enough to make some money plowing. Any more than that is a hassle.
