Potential winter storm this week.

This is from a fcst desc. from Shreveport la.....Note the usaf plane mention...It can not be stressed enough the importance of monitoring the
forecast in the coming days as changes are likely one way or
another. To assist in this, and to further sharpen the forecast and
model guidance available, recon missions by the United States Air
Force 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron off the coast of
California are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon to investigate the
the developing upper disturbance that will dig across the Baja
peninsula Friday, into Saturday. This feature, even given its
distance from our area, will play a critical role in the evolution
of this forecast in the days to come. It is expected that what
does get sampled tomorrow afternoon, and when ingested into the
model guidance, will make changes to modeled solutions. Again, in
what way they do is still to be determined, which is why it is
crucial to stay up to date with the forecast in the coming days.

(y)I'll say. Right, it is very important to keep up with constant weather changes if you are in the bullseye.
I am not in the "current window" of the areas predicting the very cold / wet / sleet and snow stuff. As of last night at 10:00pm
my local weather was saying Sunday to be "oh, mostly wet and damp in the low 60s all the way until the COLD gets here around 06:00pm.

So I step out the house this morning at dawn in a tee shirt and shorts and it was HOT. I actually came in the house and turned the
ceiling fans on. YET, around 09:30am I stepped out again and it was freezing cold. Looked on the computer and it is now 37dg out
side with pouring rain - the cold and rain that yesterday was not to be here till tonight. So we just dropped almost 25dg in about 3 hrs.
Weather folks mostly do a fantastic job but they simply can not call it to the exact times and temps sometimes depending on the multiple changes and conditions. Especially not too far in advance of changing fronts.

So, folks need to not only be prepared and have all they need on hand. Just make sure to watch for the quickly changing weather.
Don't get caught by surprise.

Poured about 1/4 gal 2 stroke Tru-fuel into the snow blower. Minor freak out. Wouldn’t start manually, tried the electric starter, fired up and ran like champ . Overheated presumably 2 hours later, went in for some protein, now going back out to finish off the job before the sleet freezes the snow in.

Also did 6 passes at the Church and snow cleared everyone’s sidewalk on the way there lol.
 
Yep, We were supposed to get blasted starting around 7pm, didnt get here till 4-5am
and 8-12" is quickly turning into 8" and another 5-7
and possible lake effect tomorrow 1-4"

Last few storms where they said 6-10" we got about 2" total...

In Ohio, I have come to the conclusion that this storm, being bad has been blown way out of proportion by the news media. The Ohio Governor declaring a state of emergency and telling people to stay at home. I remember the "storm of the century" back in 1993. This present storm is a baby compared to that one. People yesterday were panic buying $400+ worth of groceries and store shelves here are empty. I have believed in preparation but this is ridiculous.

I'm in northern Kentucky and we didn't get much either. More sleet than anything else.

Where? I was almost in Florence for the weekend.. Canceled that fast.
Curious about what they actually got down there.
it was the predicted epicenter absolute worst line on weather map (with areas to west and east being worse)

based on this list from earlier today looks like it was significantly less than projected there.

We got about 8" and it's kinda petering out. I'm perfectly happy with that. Went out for the second time to clear the driveway. Had to move the WRX to clear it better and I can confirm now the tires are garbage :ROFLMAO:
 
Mostly sleet now.

Assume I'll have to shovel the last bit by hand and then salt. Realize I have very little salt, hoping someone in town has some!

Thats how its done. HF is Harbor Freight.

No one commercially makes double male end power cords that i'm aware of, for obvious liability reasons.

Yeah, I see that now you could buy a cord with a plug on one end and bare wire is on the other end. Then put a plug on the bare wire side.
