All week we've been getting hype about an upcoming storm. Today's forecast from the NWS went something like this:

2 pm forecast- rain (mom called, "how's the weather?)
3 pm forecast change- to wintry mix no accumulation (husband called, told him, "don't worry you will have work tomorrow")
3:45 pm forecast change- ice accumulation less than .1 in. possible. New snow and sleet accumulation of less than a 1/2 in. possible. (dh says, "never happen, the NWS is NEVER RIGHT ON THEIR FORECAST )
7:50 pm forecast CHANGE- WINTER STORM WARNING 1 - 3 in. of snow, localized 4 - 5 in. totals

We do not have snow plows. With 1 - 3 in. we are in deep, with 4 -5 in. we won't get out for literally days. Unless of course, we have a suddent thaw to 80 degrees, which although is not predicted, as evidenced by above, always possible.
