February 4, 201412 yr Author Sorry don't have much time to go over it. Just wanted to get the info out so our friends in NKY can prepare accordingly.
February 4, 201412 yr Author I really hope you're wrong nWo....Please no ice! I received the notice from the NWS. I hope it is wrong too but be prepared for the worst.
February 4, 201412 yr Perfect, I work late tonight. :irked: Yep....That 6 pm evening commute of mine is going to be a hoot! :irked:
February 4, 201412 yr Yep....That 6 pm evening commute of mine is going to be a hoot! :irked: I'm 8, the only positive is most people should be out of the way by then.
February 4, 201412 yr I'm 8, the only positive is most people should be out of the way by then. Or piled up!!
February 4, 201412 yr These are the days I'm glad I work from home. For those working late, I'd make plans for a local hotel. If we get a half inch of ice, no-one is going anywhere unless you have spikes on your tires.
February 4, 201412 yr I'm 8, the only positive is most people should be out of the way by then. or stuck in the way playing bumper cars.
