Here we go again - 6" - 8" coming today. Visibility expected to be 1/4 mile at times.
Hope everyone who needs to drive is safe today.
Be safe on Lake Winnebago Tlguy.

Snowing here on West side of state right now..Don't think it will kill us all like weather man keeps saying??? But then I'm no weather man. Still got a pallet of water and size D batteries in basement from last winter storm warning. All the dang bread got moldy so I did have to go yesterday get another load that...I got a rope tied from back door to door handle on truck. Just in case I need find the truck to drive to store for more batteries. Stay safe out there..

Imagine the hype when we do get a real storm. I remember everyone having brightly colored styrofoam pingpong sized balls on their car antennas so one would "see" other cars at blind intersections, because the snow banks were so high. We all must have lived in dangerous times and didn't know it. School was rarely cancelled. The 60's were a diiferent time for sure. I had a whole shoe box full them little orange foam antenna balls.. Seemed like every gas station and store gave them away. Most had their logo or a saying on them.. Trick for us kids was to steal them off cars and keep or trade for logo's.. Remember there being some shaped like football that was real prize. Mac

Suppose the cars on Brice Prairie had the antenna balls too, eh Mike ?

I grew up in Medary/Onalaska so I'm pretty sure them orange balls was out on prairie too.. At least the two dad had up on each side the roof rack on old 65 station wagon. They got out there when we ice fish by old Red Sails..

Wondering which direction theyre saying because I see nothing coming down out my window. Currently, radar suggests the stormnis moving E/SE. Wind is supossed to switch around from the north this afternoon.

Haven't had much snow this year in southern Indiana this year , but you ever notice they hype up the weather and try to terrorize you about it , heck even if the temprature get's into the teen they terrorize you. I guess they think you can't think for yourself. They're either dumb or bored Or both
