At the risk of sounding like a know-it-all, there is also snizzle you know. That's snow and drizzling rain. Snizzle.

As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

I am in N. Glenmore, at the base of Dilworth. It was snowing and blowing around like flour in a breeze. It has lightened up but still coming.

Do people, who describe the weather conditions, and then give the location as "here" or "out there" think we have some way of knowing where they are ?

It's nice to get updates from areas all over the OK, but if you don't say were you are, might as well save the effort.

I am keeping this from crossing the border for now. But if I'm not sent bribes I'm letting it go.

You're welcome. :)

That's great as to how you can cut that weather so perfectly across the 49th parallel. Good job. :hailjo:
