Yes I believe he is at Sill.  Was supposed to get that here in Tulsa but it has tracked further south than originally thought.

Are you new there, like first winter or so? Snow is nothing, wait until you get one of those ice storms that freezes your car to the ground and leaves about 2 inches of ice on the side of your car facing into the wind!!   =(

In Indy.  We're supposed to get 6-9 inches of snow starting around 5am with 35-45mph winds.  Yes, Blizzard is the word you're looking for.

We're supposed to get close to a foot tomorrow, starting out as freezing rain and sleet. I'm taking the day off anyway, so kinda looking forward to it.

I'm in western central Indiana now.  National weather service says blizzard warning now in effect, 8-12 inches expected with gusts up to 40mph.

Getting back to Kansas City Thursday is going to be a trick.

Some of the local North Texas weathermen seemed almost orgasmic being able to report on all the snow & ice - all 2" of it!

Let it snow!  I have been paying attention to this storm and this is a pretty good one.  Why has the Weather Channel named this storm?  EUCLID...  Seemed kind of odd.
