| After previously being told to expect a dusting, then maybe a couple inches, then “who knows?” — the latest reports are now saying 18+ inches of snow with snowfall rates of 1–2 inches per hour. Yes, you read that correctly. Somewhere, a weather model just slammed its keyboard and said “send it.”
At this point, the forecast has officially entered the “hold my beer” phase.
What does this mean for you?
Roads could become snow-covered and dangerous very quickly
Travel may become limited or strongly discouraged
Emergency responses could take longer due to conditions
Snowblowers will be tested
Shovels will be questioned
That one neighbor will still go out “just to see how bad it is”
We encourage everyone to plan now: ✔️ Stay off the roads if possible
✔️ Make sure vehicles are fueled
✔️ Charge devices
✔️ Check on neighbors
✔️ Secure snacks (very important)
As always, we’ll be out there responding while Mother Nature continues to change her mind every six hours. If the forecasts know what they’re doing, we’re in for a big one. If not… well, we’ve all been here before.
Stay safe, stay warm, and remember — if our snow predictions were this inconsistent on emergency calls, we’d all be working at the mall food court. |
