[PA DETAILER]

... Winter storm watch in effect from friday evening through sunday morning...

The national weather service in state college has issued a winter storm watch... Which is in effect from friday evening through sunday morning.

* snow accumulations... 6 inches or more possible.

* timing... Snow begins friday evening. The period of most intense snow will be friday night into saturday evening. Snow ends late saturday night.

* impacts... Dangerous travel conditions.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A winter storm watch means there is a potential for significant snow accumulations that may impact travel.

Of course i`ll be at work.

Totally SUCKS !!! 12-18 inches forecast here. Hate winter :(

Time to get the plow/tire chains/weights installed on my John Deere!

The biggest threat here is ice and no power. But it will be another weekend with precipitation so no chance to do much detailing wise.

I actually enjoy big snow storms. If it`s going to be cold all winter we may as well get a ton of snow. :)

Im with you, Chad - for me, nothing more beautiful than that first big snowfall...

Everything is white, its very, very, quiet, and these big snowflakes are falling down hitting your face..

And for every kid in the world - it`s heaven out there.. :)

I had heard earlier in the week that this storm could potentially drop 3+ ft of snow in some areas out east. I guess its been updated

While I do NOT "enjoy" big snow storms, they are a fact of winter life living in the upper Midwest. It`s white gold to the recreational tourist industries and businesses here in Northeast Wisconsin (snowmobiling and cross-country skiing equipment sellers/dealers, bars/motels/restaurants/Indian gaming casinos/gas stations), not to mention the snow removal crews, both public municipal road maintenance and private businesses. A lot of lawn care LLC`s and self-employed individuals make it through the winter financially by performing this snow-removal service.

Two other business entities that also benefit are towing services and auto body/collision repair shops. Not a good thing, UNLESS your own or work for one of them.
Which segues into their botched workmanship that leads to opportunities for skilled, Autopian-quality vehicle detailers to "correct" or make acceptably better. Some of those individuals will need wait for better (warmer) weather; but for now, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. (OK, so the weather-related song reference is kind of lame!)

I`m just glad it`s on the weekend so we can enjoy it. No getting up at 5am to shovel the drive trying to get to work.

I also will be at work when it starts. As I am a janitor at a high school, we are also the maintance crew, A.K.a the snow shovelers. So, I can`t wait. My snow blower died last year and it is so old that it is going to the scrap yard. Ok have to get my neighbor`s working. Pray for me!

Chad you got that right!!! I miss the winters in New Hampshire--cold with big snow falls but nice sunny crisp weather in between the snow storms. Here in southwest PA it`s like a 1/2 to 1" of snow almost every day for the entire winter with nothing but grey skies in between--- try to keep your car clean in that type of weather.

Well my father has been a body man/painter all my life so maybe that`s part of why I like it. :)

If I never saw another snow flake in my life I would consider it a blessing. All snow is to me is a big huge waste of time and money, moving it, driving in it, paying employees more overtime trying to work in it or after it when stuffs plowed in. I will waste 8 hours of my life Sunday plowing and shoveling at home and work and I dont get paid a dime extra its just wasted time that I never get back.

6". You lightweights. I`m in Northern Shenandoah Valley, which they say is the epicenter. Forecast here is 18-30, National Guard already bringing equipment in.
