Dick, I hate to tell you this but it was as forcast here.  I have 6-8 inches of ice and snow.  It is still coming down at this hour but is supposed to taper off soon. Coy -- Coy Day, N5OK 20685 SW 29 Union City, OK 73090 405-483-5632 dick@pobox.com wrote:

I know the board family members living in Wyoming, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri are also getting whacked by this big mid-western winter storm. We are forecast to receive between 6 and 12 inches of snow in the Chicago metropolitan area between midnite and noon tomorrow. It's been my

experience that most of the bad winter storm forecasts in this part of the country never

materialize as forecast.

However the Chicago Tribune

weather section this morning, stated that

the 8 major snow storms on December 1st were the opening storm in very snowy winters for Chicago. The last time this happened was in 1978... and we eventually had our snowiest winter on record.

Now that I have my big snow thrower ready to go, we will hopefully have

much less than forecast.
