Winter Storm Warning

[jkhanson]

We'll see if it happens, but currently my area is under a Winter Storm Warning from 6AM Friday (January 17) to 6PM Saturday (January 18).

4-6 inches of snow plus strong winds gusting as high as 50mph.

We have one as well but it has not been very "wintery" here so we will see.

[timvolley]

we have the same thing in illinois

[sdenimandlace1]

It has gone from being 60 when we get up to 34 in the last two days. At least no rain for us.

1-3 inches of snow over the afternoon/evening...changing to rain Sat morning....sounds like a mess....

[dsosnowski06]

Have the same forecast here for the weekend and then really cold next week.  Hope it is not too bad this weekend as we have a wedding to attend.

Supposed to get an inch where I live.  Going to be a mix of rain and snow.

[bremer51]

4 to 8 inches of snow forecasted here. And its coming down hard and fast.

Such bad weather in several states - you guys all stay safe.  So far in Florida we haven't had any bad weather such as tornado's etc but a lot of states such as Texas Iowa etc have been in a real dire situation.

Probably nothing.  A few nights ago they were giving 80 mph winds here.  And horrible bad storms.  Nothing happened.  Nothing ever happens.  That is why people are not prepared if it does.  Nobody takes it seriously any more.

I live about thirty five minutes from the Rocky Mountains which seem to get snow three hundred and thirty days out of the year. The area that I live in is generically called the flat lands and we see between two to four real storms per year. It has to be pretty bad for us to get a Winter Storm Warning. Generally I do not think that label is given until we are looking at seven to ten inches of snow because it could easily multiply into between eighteen and twenty four inches of snow. We have been receiving one to two Storm warnings, per year, for cyclone bombs which is when the forecasters anticipate a drop of temperature greater than sixty degrees and a heavy pressure front is created.Other than five to seven instances the forecasters are pretty safe in saying the weather will be sunny and nice.

I heard it's supposed to snow in VA but all I heard was rain on Saturday.
