    Get ready fellers and gals. Here comes the "Monster Storm". Glad I don't have to face the s***. Wish the best for all of you out there. Local weather says .25 inch of ice possible followed by 6-12" inches of snow. If you're going down I-44 be prepared. Stay safe and remember " no load is worth your life". Don't care how #### bad they need it. Be safe!!

    Hope the power stays on for this one. We're stuck with no fireplace.

    Same here, no fireplace & everything is coated in ice. Tried getting loaded yesterday morning to beat the storm going down to the S.E. Both attempts cancelled, which may be good as the ice rolled in earlier than expected.

    Glad you made it. Missed the big snow so far darn windy though. We have had 1 inch or 2 hard to tell with it blowing so bad. Place where I should load is north-south so if very windy won't load you. 1* outside.

    Been lightly snowing for an hour or so, now it is picking up pretty good, visibility maybe 1/4 to 1/2 mile right now. Glad I'm at home and not stuck out on the road somewhere. No school around here anywhere, looking at the internet, most of the grain terminals are closing at 11 or noon today.

    We're getting flat out buried out here. Been snowing like hell since before dawn and hasn't let up once. No ice yet.
