The Sky Is Falling

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm warning...Which means that all the little weather men on the local stations make it sound like the world is ending unless you watch their show. Major snowstorm to hit area (they have 110inches of snow in New York..they would call this light dusting)

The winter that won't quit (it feburary its not spring for another month) continues on for the Quad Cities as we are under a Winter Storm Warning for the overnight hours and on through Tuesday as well. This will be one of the more potent storms(until the next one comes along) of the winter, not so much for the actual snowfall,(then why all the bold print) but because of the combination of snow and gusty winds as well. That will create a good deal of blowing and drifting snow especially for open areas (so don't go out). I expect to see snow totals from this to range in the 2-4 inch catagory for areas north of the Quad Cities, probably 4 to 6 inches locally and up to 8 inches south and east into west central and northcentral Illinois(look at your little map..Indiana is going to really get it). Another push of Arctic air will follow with temperatures to fall below zero (still winter) by Thursday morning.
