Show Me state, MO. East Central. NWS started at 3” then close to 6” now close to 8”. Stocked up on firewood for the wood stove.

Put probably 600 lbs in the bed of the 2wd truck today. Tires are not bald but not great so we’ll see how she goes. I work Fri - Mon which is when it will hit here. Got some PTO and will probably take some, if nothing else, just so I can head to work when it’s light out instead of 4:30 am.

Ordering new tires from ebay first thing in the morning but that won’t help for this storm.

8” is a lot for here and hopefully it won’t be wet snow that takes down trees that fall on power lines. I’m very rural up against the National Forest so that happens here.

No biggie. I grew up in MA and was 13 during the blizzard of ‘78 when we got three feet in a couple of days.

We were going to go to Ohio on Saturday and Sunday. We’ve cancelled the trip. We make that trip roughly every 6 weeks, and even in good weather, we frequently see several vehicle accidents. Add a bit of snow (maybe as much as a foot) to that trip, and I know it would double the travel time at a minimum. I just don’t have a good feeling about this storm, and I really hope I’m wrong.
