Cunning Runt Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 That does bite. They're saying maybe around 6" in the Fort Wayne area in the NE corner of IN. It's just a watch for now so hopefully it misses us. I'm quite hoping we don't have anymore major snowfalls but it IS February after all so maybe that'd be too good to be true.

ABearWithFurniture Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 When you lived in Madison for a short while. Oh, you mean that white powdery substance that's hard when it hits on your nose? That goes along with sub-arctic temperatures and a lot of slipping and sliding on the freeways and sidewalks? Cabin fever? A lot of greyness? I moved out of there ASAP to the tropics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Boy, I'd love to get a nice snowstorm here in NJ. We haven't had anything worth talking about in central Jersey yet. This winter has sucked so far. I haven't been able to make one snowman with my kids yet or take them sledding. It seems we either miss out on the systems totally, especially when the weather is cold enough or finally when the systems hit us it's 40 degrees.
