What do you think tomorrow morning's commute will be like?
Nevermind, just saw the news. Luckily we're only going to get a quarter of an inch of ice at the most.
I see on the radar what looks like ice heading our way, do you know when the bad weather might start up here and how bad its gonna get, thanks!
I am preaty excited. I just noticed the NWS issued a winter storm watch. Looks like the snow Eric mentioned a couple of days ago might still be headed this way. They are saying there is a potential for 6+ inches. Obviously it is too early for definates, however, this little bit of information is music to my hears!
