Glen, the weather radio woke us up at about 11:30 last night. We were up for about 2 hours watching the storm cross Missouri about 20 miles north of us. I only watched a little bit of news the AM. I did hear that there was one death in Buffalo MO.

We have been in weather lock down most of the early afternoon at the school system I work for ... nothing horrible here in Central Kentucky so far.

Everyone panic'd about the snow around here but we just got a dusting. I90 and I29 in Eastern South Dakota got shut down until today. Sunny and 40ish here now.

Ah, crud -- we didn't get much at all.  Nancy and I left the house at 9.30 this morning after hearing the nasty weather that was forecast.  Only light flurries at the house.  We took the pickup just in case - although the little Subaru would have handled the snow just fine.  By the time we got to Kudos Laser it was - still nothing but flurries.

Around 10.30 the heavy snow started and we got a few inches (maybe 3?) by 12.30, and then that tapered off.  We're hardly getting any flurries now, and the radar shows that the storm is past us and out on Lake Superior now.

Yes, there's a potential for more snow later this week - but as of now it's not all that much nor that scary.  We'll wait and see - - as if we had any choice in the matter. :roll:

Wow, Joe -- what happened in Harrisburg?  Just winter weather?  10 dead sounds like more than plain ol' snow.

Slim, 3" of snow in Georgia we call a blizzard and close schools for two weeks. The highways are self closing after cars crash and get abandoned, clogging up all transportation. Nine months later the birth rate goes up 200%.
It's not the midwest but we had tornado warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings all of last night. Several touchdowns confirmed in Haralson county Ga. just a few miles north of our home, buildings and homes destroyed, some injuries but thankfully no deaths.

As of bedtime we'd got 22" of snow since Friday 6PM -- so that's just less than an inch per hour.  Overnight we got another 4-6".  No big deal, nobody late for church or shopping today.  I snow-throwed for 30 minutes last night and cleared it all.  It'll stop within a few hours - or days.
