Hi-dee-ho we've got snow. It began here around 3:45 or at least the ground wasn't covered yet but the flakes were many. Looked like there might be ice on the road so I went out, salting my slick steps as I made my way to the garage. Was going to salt the road before it became snow covered but it didn't seem to be iced like the steps. So I salted my way to our back door and now, wham bam, here I am.
Anyway, in the 15 minutes that I was out there everything became pretty well covered. The guy on TV says at this time we're getting 1" to 2" per hour. Later in the day it will become 2" to 4" per hour. His map and words speak to us about 10" here by noon. Blizzard like conditions that will hang around for about six hours after it really gets going. The last time there was a storm of this magnitude was back in 1986. Healthy but homebound will be the case for a very large group of people including us I fear.
Also shows us that we're getting off easy with possible 10" compared to Jeff City and Columbia (15" to 20"). They are saying that a possible historical storm is in the making.
There could be a reader that would like to see our local weather and doesn't know they can get it at http://www.abc17news.com/weather.php You're welcome
