My coworker just said "I don't see anything on radar!" I hope it misses us. They always make a big deal about it and then we'll wake up to nothing. Or since it covers such a wide area you guys might get dumped on and we won't. I could do without it to be honest. LOL I wanted to clean two cars this weekend and I hate having nasty snow covered cars in the garage because then I have to clean the garage floor when I'm done too. lol

Well there's a couple of parochial schools already announced they are going to be closed tomorrow. From where you're at downriver, to where I'm at near I-275 a lot can happen, but it looks like they're announcing the sky is falling, so who knows. Hell, Las Vegas got more than 3-1/2 inches and they don't know what to do when it snows.

Hope things turn around soon or we're all going to have lots of company (those of us out of work).
