This Week's Winter Storm

[SilverSabre25]

What are they forecasting in your area and what are you doing about it?

I'm in a bind. DH is working until 9 tonight, we only have one car. If I decide that there is stuff we need "just in case", we're going to be hosed trying to get it at 9 PM. On the one hand I want to just brush it off and assume it won't be anywhere near as bad as they are predicting, and on the other hand I'm a bit concerned. The National Weather Service is predicting 1/4" of ice in my area (central OH) but the local forecasters are saying 1" of ice. 1/4" is bad, but tolerable. 1" is a WHOLE LOT of ice... *sigh* not the kind of dilemma and stress I needed today...

i'm in upstate NY, so i'm used to harsh weather. i try, in the winter, to keep everything well stocked with extras. i told my hubby to bring a few things home tonight too, just in case. i would just try and have your DH grab what he can after work. i know i'm not much help... but i know what youre going through so i feel for ya!!! i havent heard how far northeast this storm is coming yet, so i guess i should go turn the weather on!!!!

Could you call a friend or a relative to maybe go to the store for you? Maybe a neighbor? I don't mind snow we lived in Utah for a couple of years and it was fun! But I hate ice and here in Memphis TN, we only get 1 or 2 ice days but it is usually horrible! we have crazy drivers!!

SilverSabre, are there any grocery stores in your area that will deliver?? It certainly would be worth a $10 delivery charge in this case.

They are predicting ice tomorrow morning for us (North Texas), and it won't go above freezing until late Friday, so it's gonna stick around. Plus maybe more snow on Thursday. Luckily, we went grocery shopping a couple days ago, but I do think I'll need milk in the next day or so. I'm planning on going out tonight to get it.

Snow is one thing; snow I can handle. Ice is just a whole different story and it worries me! I don't think snow is likely to kill our power, but ice, especially an inch of ice, sure could.

I might be able to have my sister go for me; that's not a bad idea.

could your husband pick some things up sometime today, either before work or at his lunch break?

[countrymom]

meijers is open 24 hours, so go when your dh comes home and stock up some things (like pizza) I love meijers, and don't forget to buy salt. Dh will take his snowmobile to work if its bad.

We're due for 12" to 18" of snow, so I'm not too worried, but I did make sure to pick up a few staples at the store yesterday just so I wouldn't have to go out if I didn't want to. I'm just hoping the ice stays to south of us as it's being predicted right now.

We're looking at up to 8" of snow sometime Tuesday night into Wednesday. I'm making my grocery lists now and will go tonight to pick up some things.

I'm in central MI, but people a little south of us are looking at up to 18"!! Now, I think that would be fun, but no doubt our power would go out .

I live in Michigan in the area that's suppose to get up to 18" of snow SOOOOO not looking forward to it!! But I did have 1 parent tell me that on Weds she wouldn't even attempt to come and bring her here if we got the snow we are expecting...she's smart as I know the other dck will be here!

There is supposed to be 1-3 inches today, (no biggie) but tomorrow afternoon it will pick up and get roughly 9-13 inches. I'm going to go grocery shopping in the morning tomorrow, before it gets bad. I'm not too concerned, Illinois is used to it.

I'm a little west of Columbus & I **thought** I heard we were to get 1-2 inches of ice. Yuck! I took my toddlers to the library this morning & we checked out a TON of books & a few movies in case all my school-agers are here tomorrow. I also bought hot chocolate/popcorn for a movie afternoon for tomorrow if the weather stinks. I do have a dental appt late tomorrow afternoon (1 mile from our home) so hopefully it won't be so bad that I can not go.

I know I hate the ice & I worry about my DH having to drive to work. As it is we are 30 min from where he works in Dublin, add ice & it will definitely take him well over an hr to get to work. I am hoping if it is bad that Franklin co at least calls a level 2/3 so he may not have to go to work. Definitely see if your sis can help you out!

[My Daycare]

Up to 18 inches here. I love snow. I can't wait, but I wish the ice would have melted first. Although, I don't think I will let my son go on his field trip on Wed if it seems to be bad.

[melissa ann]

We are forecast to get 1-3 inches of snow tonight into tomorrow. But it will change to sleet for all day tomorrow through Wed morning before changing to plain rain in Wed afternoon.
I'd rather get pounded by snow then this slick crap! I"m so sick of ice.
