Who all is being effected by this upcoming winter storm? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Stormtracker TF · 12-22-2004, 02:52 PM

Anywhere from Texas to Michigan there's going to be/has been snow today. Winter storm warnings extend from mid-Arkansas to Michigan and Ohio where anywhere from 4 or 5 inches to 19 inches of snow will fall, with the higher totals north. Many locations on the eastern side of the storm will see it start out as Freezing rain and recieve alot of ice, anywhere from Tennessee to Ohio and far western Pennsylvania.

We're expecting 8-15 inches by tomorrow afternoon up here in Detroit, a Winter Storm Warning or possibly a Blizzard warning will be issued soon for my area.

Going to be a white Christmas here, as will it in many other locations in the path of this storm where it wont make it above freezing until after the Holiday.

So, who else is being effected besides me?

Ditto. I live in Texas and we had snow flurries and sleet. It's not that big of a deal.

True. I don't think I've seen this many people get into accidents because of sleet. I mean jeez it's not even sticking really.

That stinks. You need to come up north here to the Illinois/Indiana/Ohio/Southeast Michigan area, we'll be getting PLENTY of snow.

Most of that's moving up here, too. Going to be a nasty night to be driving, winds of 25-30 mph with higher gusts are going to reduce visibilities greatly, add those with the 1-2 inch per hour snowfall rates and you have a real mess. This is going to be the biggest snowstorm we've had in quite some time.

RoryGilmore · 12-22-2004, 03:50 PM

I'm from southern Illinois and we got 10 inches

Cactus Jack · 12-22-2004, 03:56 PM

Oh... I've seen snow here and I am not at higher elevations, but it's been 3 years since my front yard had snow and that was only an inch. There have been some close calls... Cheaha, the highest peak in this state, had a couple of inches back in February and northern parts of the state had up to an inch, but I want to see more than that.

Last big snow at my house was a surprise one in February 1998. Wasn't expected at all but we ended up with 5 inches.

Do you live around here?
