A potent storm system is expected to bring cold rain and heavy wet snow to the Ohio Valley midweek.  Where to expect a half foot or more of the white stuff in the blog.. 

Remembering my beloved sister, Jennifer Parker Kappell.  

A storm of HISTORIC proportions is about to disrupt many plans as we head into Christmas Weekend.  Updating timing of LIFE THREATENING COLD and snowfall amounts in this update.. 

"Along with the snowfall, very strong winds are expected to impact nearly the entire eastern half of the U.S. as this large system becomes fully mature by Thursday night. Winds will create blizzard conditions throughout the central/northern Plains,the Upper Midwest, and the Great Lakes."

Winter Storm Watches and Wind Chill Advisories are already being issued ahead of a POWERFUL Pre-Christmas Storm that looks to bring the coldest conditions in several years to much of the region..
