How much snow will we get

[bassin_bug]

Man this snow deal at the end of the week has got these weather people around here in a lather. They are excited as chickens after June bugs, especially that John Belski. I've never seen a full grown man get that Giddy over snowfall, lol.

I'm saying 2.5 inches here in the Louisville metro area. South of E-Town I'm saying 3 to 6 inches. Farther south you go maybe 6 or 7 inches.

What's your guess for your area and we'll compare notes after the white blanket of death falls on us.

Mark, did you ever make ice cream out of snow when you were a child? I did and it was delicious. I would be afraid to try it now; pollution has ruined another one of the simple pleasures of life.

This (Thursday) morning our Emergency Weather Alert says we will have 1/2 to 3/4" of ice followed by 1" of wet snow on Friday afternoon. Friday night we will have significant snow accumulations of 4-8 inches. They are warning us of hazardous road conditions, downed trees, and power outages; specifically mentioned thick ice accumulation on power lines.

It sounds like a replay of the snow storm we had about a month ago. Some of the people here were without power, phones, and water for about four weeks. We were blessed and were without for only about three days.
