LOL.

Seems the weather forecasters are as good in Wisconsin as they are her in Baltimore.

I'll bet y'all drive better in the snow than we do. Is there any milk, bread or toilet paper left in your grocery stores?

Tom Tasselmyer says 6-12 inches in Baltimore, more up the I-95 corridor noreheast of town.

My experience is that many Baltimorons are lousy drivers to start with, so they are completely hopeless in any kind of bad weather. Anyway, the big problem here is not snow, it's ice. We are generally in the "melt zone" where snow melts during the day and then refreezes overnight, creating sheets of ice all over the roads.

One of my National Guard buddies from Connecticut made fun of me for not being able to drive on snow because I am from Maryland until he tried to drive here in icy conditions. He was forced to admit that I drive better than he does in Maryland winter conditions.

It's probably all relative, most people are dangerous because they're over cautious but there's always three our four yahoos who drive like it's their day to die.

As for supplies, I keep pretty well stocked up. I don't recall ever seeing a run on the grociery stores in all the years I've lived in Wisconsin.

One year in the 1970's we got a bad April blizzard that caused us to be w/o power for a few days and we cooked off of a portable gas stove and slept around the fire place in our snow suits, but other then tornados, that's the worst weather I recall.

I think the same year Buffalo NY got hit worse and they talked about loading up frieght cars with snow and sending the train south.
