Severe Weather ?

Stay warm. I've seen snow totals from 6" through 24" so we'll see how that goes but definitely not looking forward to the wind chills to -45 tomorrow. Glad I have plenty of four year old red oak for the wood stove.

Not surprisingly there are people on some of the hiking forums talking about going out tomorrow in the WMNF. Gusts over 100mph are expected on the rockpile with wind chills possibly at -85 (or worse). Entitled idiots that put the lives of F&G and SAR teams at risk.

Hope all those farther south stay safe through the weekend. That potential ice they're calling for is no joke.

Yeah... lots of idiots out there. I think I heard invoices were to be sent out to cover cost of rescues, depending on IQ.

You folks getting hammered with snow, ice & brutal cold; take care.

Ugh, those people need to have their heads examined because they are clearly off their rockers.

Some of those "idiots" are rescue team members themselves. They're out there to challenge themselves and have the experience and gear to do so.

Some of us actually have to do the job we are trained and paid to do.

That is a good point, I didn't think about that.

First pic from Sunday during height of storm Pic taken yesterday morning. I didn't measure but according to the local news our town got 11.5" which was the lowest among towns/cities they listed. 11.5" too much if you ask me!!!

EDIT: I just went on their website and it shows 14.6" for my town. 11.5" is what they said on the air.
