No Change

When the details of a forecast headline haven't change since it was first issued as a "watch" you begin to think that it may actually happen. Snow started to fall earlier this morning. It has only just begun.

What fun- and I don't get snow days.

A BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO MIDNIGHT CST WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

* THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL SHOULD OCCUR TONIGHT. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 8 TO 12 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BY THE TIME THE SNOW ENDS WEDNESDAY.

* NORTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH LATE TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING...WITH WIND GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH. THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL BE LATE TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.

* FALLING TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH STRONG WINDS SHOULD PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES OF 15 TO 20 BELOW ZERO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

* IMPACTS FROM THIS STORM INCLUDE WHITE OUT CONDITIONS...ROAD CLOSURES AND IMPOSSIBLE TRAVEL...ESPECIALLY FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.
