Most of the storms have missed us so I think we'll get the 10+. Just hope the ice stays away, the woods took a big hit from the ice storm of 98 which is still evident.

Weathermen, economists and sports casters; good thing their jobs don't dependant on them being right more than 50% of the time. Wish I could be wrong that often and still keep my job.

I say keep em.
Who would keep "new topics" in "the woodshed" coming.
They keep the data highway warmed up for the rest of us.
Now that Zap can quote & we know which one he is :lol:

OK, so we give Dennis some time off for good behavior. Get healed up, Dude, and don't chase the wife around 
Zap has me right on the border . . . could be snow, then ice; could be all snow. We'll hope for all snow and no power outages. Damn gas company hasn't come to hook up the Generac yet. I think they're pizzed cause I only buy a couple hundred gallons of fuel oil a year. I guess I need to do solar and and just get rid of them :coolgrin:

this really is gettin old.............the sleet/freezing rain thing goes great with the high winds and the pine trees already have been hanging onto the snow so power outages sound likely
