Good man, and enjoy the time home with family! Thinking I'll be following your lead and not working Friday night. If we end up under a snow emergency I'm as good as home. If not, it will be an adventure. Going to pray this primarily remains a snow event. The freezing rain element of this storm needs to disappear!!!

January 21, 201610 yr THANK YOU! Question--why is Lexington smack in the pink, but not mentioned as one of the cities affected? Worried about my UK kids! As a veteran UK parent I can tell you not to worry about your UK kids. They likely have not only been planning on this, but counting on it as well. Not planning in the same way you or I would plan....but planning nonetheless!
January 21, 201610 yr I'm totally prepared. I bought extra bacon. Never can have too much bacon in the house.
