They say we are going to have a record breaking snow/ice storm. We live in Chicagoland and experienced the storms of 1967, 1979 and 1988...we are ready with all kinds of foodstuffs, shovels, gas for the snow blowers and......our son's generator...hoorah for our son!!!

I'm in Cincinnati. Usually Cincinnati weathermen overreact to everything. Tonight they are saying nothing. That means we are probably going to be hit hard.

We live near the Indiana Michigan boarder and are getting ready for the storm also. I hope neither one of us need our generators... goodluck to you

I'm glad I'm not further north than Kansas. You all stay warm and sew, sew, sew, and keep us posted.

In the Indianapolis area. Already have a growing layer of ice on everything. Hubby went out about 20 minutes ago to walk dogs, his feet prints have already filled up/ iced over.

This could be fun.

Storm going to start here Tues. afternoon, most of it arriving on Wednesday. Could see a foot or more; but we need it to all get out of the air this next month so we can have an early spring. That would be awesome!

Lucky you, now I know why we spend our winters in the south.

don't think the groundhog will see his shadow this year - there's so much snow he won't even be able to get out of his burrow. LOL

It started here this morning. Was icy on the streets, but then it warmed up some, so the ice went away and then it started snowing. Ice is always the worst. Will keep a good thought for all of you that get the ice storms. They are hard on everything and everyone! Stay safe and warm everyone! We are expecting 3 -6 inches tomorrow. Not nearly as bad as some of you are forcast to have!

It is supposed to be -28 tonight - and we aren't the coldest spot in the state! That's before the wind chill factor! I think I will stay in and quilt tomorrow!!!
