Looks like we are in a winter advisory for most of the day... My area is suppose to get 5-7 inches of snow plus ice. Might be going hunting Saturday, hopefully the county roads won't be to dangerous. Stay off the roads if you can at all costs, suppose to be a heck of a storm.

They give us First Responders signs to put in our windshields to drive in to work even when they order no traffic on the roads...hummm, wonder what makes them think we'd want to get to work that bad... ... they won't pay health care but want us to take the chance killing ourselves to get there...

I know what you mean Patch as they classify us USDA food inspectors as essential employees so we HAVE to get to the plants we regulate. I've gotten there only to have the plant shut down due to not having enough employees of their own to operate that day. We risk life and limb to turn around and travel back home. The only thing that MAY prevent us from having to travel the roads is if a snow emergency is declared by a State, county or municipal authority and the roads are declared closed to non emergency vehicles. Even at that we have to have some sort of proof. It's about like being back in school and getting a note from your parents to miss class. I've got the blade on the tractor and ready to plow my way out in the morning!

I am going to Mississippi to kill some swamp rabbits!!!! Suppose to be 50 degrees down there. I won't be looking foward to a bunch of snow when I get home. Winter has been long this year!!!

Hey Matt!!! WHAT ICE??? WHAT SNOW??? Somebody missed this one real bad!!! Sorry guy but this winter is just gonna chug a long. I hope you run and gun a lot of swampers down there. Maybe that will fix your winter blues?

Chief, you guys didn't get any of this? I remember living in Indy and getting all worked up about a snow storm only to have to work in the rain for days on end. We got 6" up here yesterday, but it gets deeper the closer you get to lake MI. Its 28 degrees right now, should be some good runnin this weekend. I'll let ya know.

I live down here in Martin County, Indiana. When the storm got close to my area, the big front of it split and headed north and some headed south. We was expecting 3-5 inches and a couple of inches of ice....we didn't get nothing... I hate it when weather people talk about a big storm, then the next morning they apologize cause it really didn't happen the way the saw it.

Greg H, all we got was about an 1" and just a little freezing rain. The roads were clear all day.

we only got about 1.5" in Marion, IN
