Schools are already cancelled in the area.
The kids are happy as it is their first snow day in two years - Don't be in a hurry to blame global warming - last year was remote only so no snow days were to be had.
So far, it is raining and melting some of the snow currently on the ground, but it's expected to turn to freezing rain then snow by 10am with 12-16 inches expected to fall in our area.
That's a lot of snow, and could set a new record for this time of year.
So we're all tucked in here at the house. We already have all necessary French Toast and Hot Chocolate making supplies on hand.
I'm currently medically prohibited from doing so, but both the snow blower and shovels are at the ready for everyone else to use. I guess I'll just have to direct the snow clearing activities from within the house and keep the hot chocky flowing.
We will see if the Court Zoom hearing with the pro pers still goes forward later today.

Aaron,
Stay careful, last thing you need is to slip and fall on ice. The fecal matter is supposed to hit the reciprocating air mover down here late this evening or tomorrow morning. Snow, but mostly ice is forecast. Nobody knows how to drive on ice especially Texans. Fortunately I live over a mile from the highway. It's unlikely somebody could slide that far. We're going to stay home and ride it out. Yesterday we replaced the well house heater (a temperature sensing plug and infrared light), so with a little luck, water will be available.
But, we've also got 15 gallons of bottled water in the house. So...Supposed to be in the 60's on Friday. As we say down here "If you don't like the weather in Texas, wait a couple of hours, it'll change."
Stay warm
juvat: Yep, I'm not taking even a step outside today. Not worth the risk at all. Snow is coming down pretty steady now.
Snow here is intermittent light to heavy. 1/4 inch to 2 inches per hour (estimated). Winds are picking up so that should make things interesting....Vis reported at VPZ is 1/4 VV 300ft.
Heavy snow too.
I expect we will get about a foot before it is over.
Were I you, I'd pay someone to do some snow clearing this time around.
Stay home & stay safe!
Starting to look at lot like Hoth.
We have about 8" up by Lansing.
B: Yep we decided to pay for snow removal this year. They don't do a great job so it still needs shovelling to be usable. But, since I'm medically prohibited form doing it, that's why we have kids this time!
ccm2361: That we did, hope you and yours are doing well too! Looks like we got about the same here, not the 13-16" predicted but it's supposed to snow again today.
