Winter storm Petra laying the smackdown!

Even the Weather Channel is having a hard time whipping this one into a frenzy.

 

I don't understand Winter Storm Petra.

 

It's a couple inches of snow and maybe a little ice. The region it's hitting is plains and midwest. We are all used to this crap.

 

Shit...even insufficient storms get a trophy.

 

The weather Channel.....where every storm is somebody...

 

38 and raining here in Atlanta. Wish it was about 10 degrees cooler.

 

already canceled schools here and there's enough salt and brine on the roads that your car starts to rust after 1 mile.

I bet we get nothing.

 

No beet juice?

 

We got a foot last week, another 8 inches yesterday and will prolly get another 6-8 tomorrow. More of the same. Nothing to see here.

 

I see that more up north. They might use it around here but I haven't seen it.

 

Hit 90 today.......

 

I hope you get trench rot of the nuts from sweating, jerk!

 

Guess I'll head into work early tomorrow to avoid traffic(it's supposed to start snowing about 3am and go until 6pm) and leave early too.

 

The last storm was the worst yet this winter. I had about 3" on the driveway when I left for work. When I got home, I saw that my neighbor had shoveled around her car and also did her door walkway and mine. I drove up to my mailbox a few times to lay down some tire tracks. (Telling the mailman he won't get stuck) I texted thank you to my neighbor and told her not to bother with the next storm. We'll get another couple of inches, then the temps are going to the high 40's. It should be melted by the time I get home from work.

 

That storm is not of this world...

 

Government and schools closed here. It will be snow then messy and probably some ice. It is the ice possibility that makes this not a bad decision.

 

We fill tractor tires with that shit.

 

They bumped the expected snow up to 5"-8", most of it coming during the day tomorrow.
