Elephant In Exile

Oh man, I am so glad I am not traveling today, but I'd love to have some of the snow that they're getting up in Grand Rapids. I mean the Weather Channel is predicting a huge snow storm and even the possiblity of a "Thunder Snow," the very best kind of snow storm. As it's name would suggest, similar to a thunder storm, but with snow! I'll just have to settle with a plain old rain storm here on the East Coast.

MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. VISIBILITY WILL BE REDUCED TO LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A MILE AND TO NEAR ZERO AT TIMES IN HEAVY SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW. SNOWFALL RATES OF AN INCH AN HOUR ARE LIKELY WITH RATES OF TWO INCHES PER HOUR COMMON IN THE HEAVIEST SNOW BANDS. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 5 TO 9 INCHES ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE WARNING AREA. THIS WILL CREATE DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS.

Drive carefully everyone and enjoy the snow!
