So basically your telling us you don't know. And that's the point. I can ask my 8 year old to look out the window and tell me that. Someone needs a degree for that? Hey, this storm in 7 days is going to be historic, or hysteric. We might get 20 inches.....but we might not. We might have blizzard conditions.....we might not. All I can be sure of is that someone is coming based on climate change, and I won't know until the actual day it arrives on who gets what and when. And then........maybe!

You are absolutely right. I don't know exact amounts to expect. No one does right now. Anyone that says otherwise is asinine.

Let it get to two days out and you'll get a pretty good range of what to expect. Is there any difference in knowing two days out versus five? No. Still ample time to know what's coming.

Damn it, you take that back right now! I would never be that wishy-washy when using the word blizzard.

I wouldn't jeopardize my Hy-Vee kickbacks like that. All blizzard, all the time!

:jimlad: (only because I suspect cyeathawk probably needs it).

Someone needs to step out of the bitter barn -- yikes.

Just giving you the ribs MN. Nothing personal. I know it probably frustrates you more than me.

How would you know so many days in advance?

Do you go to a physician? How about own any securities? Participate in free enterprise? Some things are uncertain and meteroligopists use math and statistics to use predictive probability to provide economic value. Don't be an *** hat.
