How's the weather?

[LostLassie]

The forecast calls for a "dusting to 1 inch" yet on current radar, the unbroken mass of darker blue stretches back to Illinois.
Yeah, we'll see about that so-called dusting.

Update: @ 3 hours later...The "dusting" continues...

Not to brag but it is like 70 degrees here in Oklahoma. The only bad part is that it is Oklahoma.

We have a group that works for us in OKC - their high today is forecast to be 65, but the low tonight is going to be around 17

@50degree temperature drop in one day--that's about typical for this winter.

Level 2 now for Franklin county? For this?

 

[LostLassie]

May depend on what part of the county you're in--some places had more snow yesterday than others, plus drifts from the wind, plus today's snow. I have a drift on my patio that's about a foot high, so I could imagine some of the outlying roads could be a bit crazy.

Bah. I drove from Grove City to Westerville 30 minutes before they issued it and I'm going home tonight even if they take it to level 3. Damn the man!

I had a 4 foot drift out in front of my apartment. That was tons of fun to watch the kids try to shovel

Probably just CYA mode.

If anyone needs a product recommendation: Suncast snow shovels.

This is my 8th year of snow-birding in Florida.

I just rode my bike over to an art festival where I watched a Celtic band play "Born to be Wild" while an audience of seniors sang along.

Strange - but beats shoveling snow.

(And yes - I was singing along.)

Shit's real here in Licking "We wait for Columbus to act then we do whatever they did" County. Snow was four feet deep at the bottom of my driveway. Not a single road clear in the County Seat, but yeah. Level 2 an hr before the snow stops.

I thought I was the only one that noticed that Licking county only does what Franklin county does

 

[LostLassie]

So, the idea of having someone just go out and look at the condition of the roads so they can make their own decision--too advanced for Licking County?

I think we just like to think of ourselves as the county equivalent to a suburb of Columbus. When I was in school, we'd check the news and radio to see if Columbus Public Schools were closed. They were always announced in alphabetical order and if they were cancelled, so were we.
