Monster Winter Storm Takes Aim at One-Third of U.S. (Live Thread)

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- A monster winter storm took aim at a third of the nation Monday, threatening to lay a potentially deadly path of heavy snow and ice from the Rockies to New England, followed by a wave of bitter, bone-rattling cold that could affect tens of millions of people.

Cities including St. Louis, Kansas City and Milwaukee could be hardest hit, with expected midweek snowfalls of up to 2 feet and drifts piled 5 to 10 feet. Even hardy Chicago could be in for its third-worst blizzard since record-keeping began.

"I wouldn't want to be on the road in open areas tomorrow night," said forecaster Tom Skilling of Chicago television station WGN. "I don't think I'd want to be driving in the city either. The fact is people die in these things. They skid off the road and go wandering around in whiteout conditions."

Warmer areas were not safe, either. The system could spawn tornadoes in parts of the South.

Unfortunately Hubby can’t work from home as he services elevators. If a hospital or nursing home calls, he’s the one that goes as he’s most likely the one that can fix it. He has a gift. And now he has 40 years experience. And he enjoys it.

Nice to see the thread sticking around. We are in west Michigan near Grand Rapids. Expecting up to 16”. We’re all set with wood, extra water and TP and we always have a well stocked pantry. I think our biggest hardship will be finding a place for our little 10 lb doggie to do his business. The rest of my family is in Chicago. Hope they will be OK.

I’m in Orange county and they’re saying 12 inches of snow and 1/2 an inch of ice. Yippee. :-P

That's important.

I'm hoping that Mr. trisham's work will start sending people home soon, but he works east of here and they haven't received nearly as much snow as we have.

I do sincerely wish you the best though...Maybe some will understand how others feel when people here wish them the worst.

Good luck.

We’re down in Macomb County, just north of Detroit.
Dad made tracks for our pup to pee on the grass. Otherwise she is smaller than the snow.

I think he’s going to be surprised when he sees how much more snow there is out here than where he works.

I hope he gets home soon too. Does his company usually close early?

That has always bothered me. Even if you don't like someone, why do that?
