I hope you don't have to get out in the weather. Be careful if you do.

Yes, this is definately the most depressing December in a long time for the entire Northern US. People who intend to travel, near or far, are in for some surprises.
Do you have to travel at all for Christmas? Be safe!

Actually, Christmas is at our house this year! We rotate between our house and my parents house. My parents and my brother are driving up here tomorrow! Driving in this weather doesn't bothr my dad or my brother. Plus they don't have to go over any of the passes. But it will still be a slow trip for them!
Melanie S. Dec 23, 2008, 7:33pm EST
We've had over a foot so far in the last 3 or 4 days and another Winter Storm warning until 1AM Thursday with an expected 5"-10" and freezing rain.... I don't think we'll be going to my Grandma's this year.
Melanie S. Dec 23, 2008, 7:36pm EST
Whether or not we go anywhere is really going to depend on how well the plows are going to be able to keep up, and so far they haven't been able to keep up for nothing! We've got areas in the Greater Grand Rapids MI area that haven't even been receiving their mail because the mail trucks are getting stuck. So far they've had to tow out 18 mail carriers LOL.

They are saying Christmas Day should be pretty much clear weather wise, but the snow that's going to dump on us between tonight and tomorrow night is probably going to make driving on Christmas Day not a pretty thing.
Brian T. Dec 23, 2008, 7:38pm EST
Wow thought we had some weather problems. Ouch!
Leah Christensen Dec 23, 2008, 7:42pm EST

We're supposed to get a lot of rain during those exact same hours. I have to exercise indoors at home.
