Allright, a zapcast! All rain here over the weekend. Warming up tomorrow well into next week. You the area for snow possibly?
Me neither! Last one got me all flustered and we didn't even get a flake. My niece got pummeled on the cape though. Usually the other way round! Whew!
Not yet, it all depends on the cold air or lack of it. I did hear him say 6-12 inches if everything comes together, I'm thinking if it happens it will stay east of us.
I could be wrong, this is for our area Gas, not yours. ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

THOSE LIVING IN AREAS PRONE TO FLOODING SHOULD BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLOODING DEVELOP. With the ground still frozen, I anticipate a lot of flooded basements. We still have several inches of frozen ice on the lawn. It has been a chitty winter and will end that same way.
I went to the dump with the truck today, when I came back I parked it on the driveway that goes toward the front of the house, I jumped in the Rhino then hooked the plow up, I lowed the low side out for about one hour so it drains out to the front. On my last push of snow to the front I notice the truck had started to slide off the driveway because of the ice, I got it straightened out but before I parked it again I did a some sanding.
Forgot to add that the low for tonight is 20 degrees, which would be yet another record cold night. One more just to finish off winter, eh?
Beautiful day here. Sun is shining. Wife and I are going for a little ride while we can. This next week look like nothing but cold and wet.
