Ice cake surprise. The white frosting not coming until Friday 7 AM. Double whammy delight for any lucky patrons sitting at the Northeastern table.

OK. Plenty of advance warning on this storm. What will be the excuses of the road commission and the city for not salting and plowing????

What will be the excuse of the drivers who don't adjust their vehicles and their driving habits for the road conditions they encounter?

Winter storm watch has been cancelled. No more snow as summer is on it's way. Just wishing.

Clearing the precipitation gauge (a plastic bin) on the patio to help decide a winner; are the time parameters now through Friday noon? Just looked at the storm west of here on wunderground and it is sizable, so it could hang around a while.

Two inches.

And yet people still will drive like the roads should be free and clear of any form of precipitation, blaming the people who just like them have no control over the weather and can't be in two places at one time for any mishaps that might take place.

3.1 inches here, we are playing "The Price is Right" rules correct?

Jim Harmon is consulting his Magic 8-Ball on how to proceed with the salt trucks...

Jim Harmon is probably in Florida right now, directing his salt trucks to start whenever their shift starts, regardless of the actual weather..............
