Snow in the forecast

In my post this morning I mentioned that we are supposed to get some snow here. At that time they were calling for about 5-6 inches. Tonight I watched the news and saw that they have updated the weather forecast to 7-9 inches or more snow for us. We are in the Heavy Band area. Oh what fun... We are now under a Winter Storm Warning for tonight and tomorrow. If we actually get that much snow it will be a mess. As I said earlier we don't have snow plows in our City, they use road graders and only plow some of the roads with those. I sure hope the weather forecast is wrong. I will take some pictures tomorrow and let you know what we end up with.
