You know I am always thrilled when I look at weather.com and I see the "Special Weather Statement" alert at the top of my screen. Here is what they are saying:

... POTENTIAL WINTER STORM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...

A WINTER STORM WILL ORGANIZE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS SATURDAY NIGHT AND MOVE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY NIGHT. THE STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY... AND BEGIN TO SPREAD SNOW INTO THE REGION.

THERE REMAINS MUCH UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO THE TRACK... STRENGTH AND AVAILABLE MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM. IT IS... HOWEVER... POSSIBLE THAT SOME AREAS COULD RECEIVE SNOWFALL IN EXCESS OF 6 INCHES BY MONDAY NIGHT. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGEST THAT THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL WILL BE ON MONDAY. HOWEVER... AT THIS TIME PRECISE TIMING OF THE SYSTEM IS NOT A CERTAINTY.

REGARDLESS OF THE FINAL TRACK AND SNOWFALL AMOUNTS... THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR TRAVEL TO BE IMPACTED EARLY NEXT WEEK.

How wonderful it will be for us to have to endure yet ANOTHER snow storm. Frankly I have had enough and was very pleased to see the sun today (which is still shining, I might add). Hopefully IF we do get this storm Ed will be home safe and sound before it ever gets here. Ugh. Snow.
