Snowstorm incoming!

Another winter storm is set to blow in late tonight, and this one may very well set some records--for snowfall! 

Readers from more northerly climes, feel free to laugh at me, but I'm excited. Kids are excited. Everyone's excited! There's a very high chance that we're going to get anywhere from 6-10 inches of snow this weekend, and that just never happens around here. 

Our trusted local weather guy shared this photo from our area last night:



Have you seen the big, beautiful halo overhead tonight? These are caused by moonlight passing through ice crystals in cirrus clouds. These thin high clouds often precede incoming storms! Great photo Jessica Yarborough! -Ed Piotrowski WPDE

Not only are we supposed to get quite a bit of snow, but for the first few days of next week temperatures are going to remain way, way below normal. Whatever we end up getting will probably stick around for a while. 

This all is supposed to begin around midnight tonight. I'll be posting photos, of course! Laugh if you want to, but it's going to be a beautiful, rare treat and I'm going to soak up every minute of it. :)

That vision of the moon is magical. I’m glad you’re excited about the snow.

I loved our snowfall last week and shared some pictures...but I'm over it now...now it's getting tired looking and not fresh anymore. We are just frigid now.

Glorious picture he shared. Enjoy the snow...if you get any.
