Also relevant is precisely when. If we get 6 inches at 5 PM on Sunday, that’s enough time to get the major streets plowed by Monday morning. If it’s between 5 and 6 AM on Monday, though, that’s something different.
We’re burning through snow days like something that burns a lot and probably belongs in a different metaphor than snow.
For days now, the Weather Underground has been predicting 14-15" plus of snow for our part of Kentucky. Their latest forecast is down to 10.6". Other weather gurus say 12-18".
I suspect that we’ll end up with at best 7" or so, still enough to create a mess, especially if part of it on Sunday consists of “wintry mix” (which always ends up being freezing rain).
At least the larder is stocked, generator power stands in readiness, and bags of snow/ice melt are strategically positioned at exits. Pluto the Wonder Spaniel will have to struggle through the drifts to accomplish his Activities of Daily Living.
It’s -14F wind-chill and dropping through Sunday. I got a package I’ve been waiting for delivered today, but the mailbox and back is about a 10 minute stroll.
I don’t think it’s happening, guys.
Bit colder than -20F this morning with -47F wind chill 
My thermostat has an outdoor temp reading, it gave up and just said “LO”

In the rural communities, just outside our city, the children have, so far, had 15 snow days! Yikes.
It’s been a brutal winter in these parts. I was mighty happy to have a woodstove, (with a fire burning) during the blackouts. That was when the freezing rain storm brought down numerous trees. Stacked piles of broken branches, stacked taller than me, were at every corner it seemed.
We live in the snow belt, communities are used to snow events. But this season will be one they’ll remember, I reckon.
Looks like we may have avoided most of the freezing rain in DFW. We still have a pretty good dusting of sleet and snow, and more is supposed to follow later. But that stuff doesn’t bring down power lines like freezing rain does, so I’m relieved.
We have yet another asynchronous day tomorrow. It’s tough to prepare for those. This is our fifth snow day this year, with all but one in the past two weeks, and it looks likely that Tuesday will be, too.
My husband shoveled in the morning, I shoveled a few hours later. We’re running out of space to put this stuff.
It’s not a lot coming down at once (4-5’’ today) but it’s the sheer cumulative effect over the last few weeks.
Tomorrow we have two important appointments and I don’t think there will be any cause to cancel but things are so unpredictable right now. This weather is taking my carefully scheduled plans and shaking them up like a snow globe.
