Yep- its been hanging right over us snowing some all night....But just looking out the door this morning in the dark- it only looks like we picked up 2-3 inchs during the night- and so far only having about a 10 mph NW wind...They are saying 2 more days of snow- and also the wind is supposed to pick up...

But when you look at the highway reports around the state- they definitely don't look good...Lot of our area is ice/black ice-- and I see where all the roads in and out of Miles City are emergency travel only- with much of the interstate over by Billings listed as ice/black ice...

After spending 30 years of having to be on those highways and roads in the worst conditions-and getting called out for the nastiest things that happen during blizzards- I don't miss it a bit when I can just stay home... :-)
 
We picked up about an inch of snow last night. It rained a little before it turned to wet snow. Roads were a little slick coming home from the basketball game last night. Its not snowing right now and we've got a 14mph west wind this morning. Might be the calm before the storm.
 
here in western minnesota the temp is 34 and been raining all night. got up at 3am it was gusting winds at 34mph. man if it gets colder it will be a skating rink, looking out it allready is i think.
 
I saw that this morning too, Justin. We didn't get any snow during the
night and currently it's 30 degrees, overcast, with some wind. Not too bad, yet.
We were to leave to go south for a couple of weeks, but when we heard
the forcast we stayed home to leave after the storm. We figured if we stayed home, the storm wouldn't materialize and if we left, it would.
So we thought we'd be nice to the neighbors and stay put. :wink:

It seems like when they predict these things way out, they miss us.
It's the unknown storms that are the worst. :shock:

Stay warm, stay safe everyone.
