Gotta love being in Springfield, IL like I am. Since apparently we've exhausted a lot of the salt funds already, the city has started using sand on the roads. Good thing I wasn't planning on going out today.
Are you getting hammered like we are here? I bet we end up with a foot or more if it keeps up like this. Wish I had my camera here. I would post a pic.

roy,
I know what you mean about the bathtub fill if the well pump goes out, good call. For those of you that live in the city and have 2 bathrooms, the purpose of the second bathtub is for you to shoval snow, place it in the bathtub and load your contents of the fridge and freezer . Then continue to fill the tub with more snow, packing as you go to ensure no food or beer spoilage. The other option is to go buy a keg and pack the snow around it to keep the keg ice cold.

DO NOT GO THIS ROUTE IF YOU HAVE ONLY 1 BATHROOM!

I had a friend that did that and his wife went ballistic after 2 days since the shower was out of commision. He invited 15-20 people over, bought the keg and only 3 people showed up :lol: :lol: :lol: .

It was doing something in Decatur about 9:30 this morning. I don't see anything else right now, we're expecting 12 inches of snow. That means tomorrow is another snow day, well, today is but I don't have class so it doesn't count.

Good job NC. I didn't think of that because I have a small out building I use for that. Your 1 bathroom warning has me laughing HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't stand it anymore. I am going to ride 4 wheeler to work and get camera and store for olives (for gin). If you don't hear from roy again, it's been a hoot and yes I AM an idiot but an idiot who can't resist the fun!

Not yet, I'm waiting for the part that's supposed to be bad in the afternoon. If the power goes out, I'm gonna need some of that to keep entertained without television, or STL Legends :lol:

Got the snow/freezing rain line about twenty five miles south of me right now. Nothing here though. Looks like the fun is on the way!

we don't wanna hear it NC. We love these torturous Missouri winters.
It's a whiteout here, about 4 inches so far and coming quick. Just took the dogs out foe a short walk. It's beautiful in the woods, but the blowing snow is brutal.
Apparently Roy has already gone off the deep end. Hope he doesn't disappear for weeks on end again.

Honestly, I feel for all of you up there, I'm just glad that my residence is NOT in central IL these days. You don't have a huge hurricane problem up there during the summer though, no place is perfect.

What about Central IL? It snowing like cats and dogs and it doesn't look like the ice that could take the power lines down is up here, just snow. I might see what happens when I let the dog play ball in the snow.

Yeah, now it's mostly just snow. Earlier today there was a mix, but now its all snow. Still, it's kinda freaky after taking a nap and waking up and looking out the window to a white out.

A nap? A NAP??? You are too young to get naps sir. I guess you're going sledding tonight, good luck with that.
