It was clear and sunny today. -4ºF when I got up, got to a high of 12º. When it hit 8º around 11:30, I used my Cadet Cub tractor-tread sno-blower to clear out my driveway and the mailbox access, which the state plows buried.

Weather Channel has bunches of stories of the mid-South states getting hit by Octavia. Some interesting equipment which I have never seen, like a 90ft tanker with spray-nozzles pointing straight down to spray anti-icing agent on the roads. The newscaster was talking about the Arkansas people 'pre treating' the roads with a salt solution prior to any precipitation...Never seen anything like that up here in snow country...

Looks like Tennessee is getting hit now...8inches of snow predicted for Wash DC...Haha...You think John's stretch Mercedes limo will get stuck???
