Interesting definitions of possible rain percentages.
When I lived in coastal WA if they said 15% chance of rain it meant it was going to rain steady for 15% of the day. Along the coast we got 70 to 140 inches of rain per year
Here in southern NM a 15% chance of rain means 15% of the county might get at least one drop. Here we get less than 7 inches annually in recent years.

My crew has drove me crazy with this.
There is just too many way to handle this even with a power outage. I have generators (7K run 10K surge) they looked shocked when I told then to fill up their vehicles. Babble babble.. Finally I said stop do as I say, dually hold 40 gallons, the jeep about 20, the challenger another 20. That is 80 gallons Generator burns a little over 5 gals for 18 hours under load. Do the math still babble, They could not fathom the tanks are for fuel storage for the generator..... and a last resort for heat. Jeezz they look at social media too much. Blah blah continues... I looked at them, and finally said Shut up dummies we have a freaking fireplace !!!!!!!!! and huge wood pile in the back yard.
Their look priceless as if we do?

I live in South Central Pennsylvania and had the unfortunate experience of having to go to the grocery store this evening after work…the dairy cases were literally empty as well as the bread isle..it’s insane.
People around here act like it’s never snowed here…we got over 2ft just a few years ago.
They still don’t know how much we will get…hearing anywhere from 8-24 inches starting 2-3am Sunday morning.
I’m off Sun/Mon, so not worried about it in the slightest. Staying in, shoveling my sidewalks every few hours so I can to the dogs out and making a Lasagna and sauce from scratch. Kind of looking forward to it.Weather App says 19-23” so we shall see. Start time has already been pushed back over 12hrs and now been shortened from 3 days of snow to 1 day.
I will say it is damn cold…easily in the negatives with the 30min winds we had earlier today.
Pretty much over winter and ready for Spring Gobbler in April.

Same here in NE Pa, local stores are wiped out of milk, eggs, and bread, I blame it on all the city people that invaded our area, they don't have a clue!
I will be using a snowblower to clear the driveway and make multiple paths to outbuildings etc., looks like it will be bitter cold, but at least I have the clothing to keep me warm.

I woke up around 5 AM this morning with the novel idea of making a call or two at daybreak. The winds had calmed down to acceptable levels, but at -17 degrees my idea shifted back to my warm bed! Getting old and wimpy I guess?
Now as for the snow... That's just a way of life in my neck of the woods. Seems like it snows more than it doesn't! This next blast they're saying 12'-18' expected Sunday into Monday. I haven't noticed any panic or empty shelves. It'll just be another blast that will need to be cleared out, and life will carry on.

Here in Mobile we won't see snow but we're going to have 9 days of freezing temps, lowest forecast now is 22
Warm now but rain today & tomorrow & then the rain moves out & the cold moves in for 9+ days. But it's just cold, no snow or ice

I had planned on checking tracks just before sunrise. Looking at the temps with an average of -15 *, I thought my lungs won't like that cold air if I get a good track to follow. I've done it before, get sweaty and have my gloves freeze to my gun . Lungs feeling like I swallowed glass after the fact. Not today...lol
