Everyday lately, we’ve been getting at least a couple inches of snow every day.  Every time we shovel the deck, there is more the next day.  Most is lake effect which manages to reach this far inland.  There’s a  “catastrophic” winter storm slamming into the southern regions of the country.  Much of it will be ice storms, expected to leave up to an inch of ice in some areas.  People are warned that they could be without electricity for up to a week.  We could get a little snow from this system, but most will remain to our south.  Now they saying that we could get another storm next weekend.  My area has been very lucky so far.
