Potentially Historic Storm heading our way!

Gotta hand it to the weather dudes. They knew there was a big one coming 10 days ago. They were not sure of the timing but I could see this gleam in their eyes that something BIG was on the horizon.

So - we're getting two storms actually - the one today is a 4 to 7 inch storm an then the main event starts Tuesday afternoon. There should be a break about noon and then this large warm moist air mass tumbles north smashing into an Artic blast with the Jet stream overhead - BAM POW!!

On the bright side of getting 15 inches of snow is that fact that south of us will have havoc with an inch of ice killing all the trees! The further north this drifts the more now we will get!

But - we're not the only ones.

By the time the storm exits New England on Wednesday night, as many as 100 million Americans will see heavy snow of at least 6 inches or dangerous ice accumulations. 

Flying into Chicago? This storm could be the biggest blizzard since 1999 when O'Hara had 21 inches! 18 to 25 foot waves are expected on Lake Michigan as the jet stream will be right over head blowing the 2 feet of snow! I doubt I will be at work Wednesday.

Ice damage will be in the BILLIONS south of us with tornado's and a chance of spaghetti in northern Texas. Speaking of Dallas - SNOW on Wednesday and a game time temp Sunday NEAR 50.

I'm looking at 16 inches total for Columbus over the next 3 days!

Saturday Elwood and I were in the back yard discussing the upcoming year in the yard and we look up and there is Milo tightroping the railing on the deck. He is perched on the corner staring at a flock of birds who are staring at HIM with the bird feeder exactly halfway between them.

It was a standoff.  Except Milo's problem was that in order to get down he had to jump in the snow and THAT was not going to happen!  Cat's are not big lovers of snow!
