    2 to 4 feet yay.

    4 to 8 feet oh *&^%

    avoid travel if possible. On what? I don't know of anything outside of the old Arctic train that served our DEW line in the 80's with tires 12 foot by 4 foot wide able to cross that.

    I love how the NWS can be so dry on what I consider to be awesomely massive snow. It's as if it's a few inches to brush off the porch or something.

    The recent weather in Arkansas was a nice drill, broke the rust off for the new spring storm season. There will be more.

    Right now the NE should be blasted by wind gusts that should make truckers think twice on the bridges etc.

    The biggest thing that stands out to me is that we get all these hyped "snowpocalypse" and "snowmageddon" type media campaigns convincing us the sky is (literally) falling, while the reality is that we are at 112% of snow pack this year. Basically a normal year.

    Anyway, loading the truck up today and sending her out again. There'll be some rain and snow on the way. Oh, well. It's called "Winter".

    Avalanche?

    Avalanche on US 20 in Oregon mm79?

    This would be what we call "bad."
