    Yep depending on who you listen to here, 2-4, 6-12, 4-8. I have beer at home I hope we get snowed in. I am a little concerned about the ice though, If we get that much ice and then the 20 mph winds we will definately loose power.

    I hear ya Bang. Last night on the way home from work I picked up a 30 pack.[:D] After all in boy scouts one thing they taught me was to "be prepared"[:p]
    Bang don't worry too much about the power being out. You can just put the beer outside in the snow to keep it cold.[^] Then you can wear your cold weather hunting clothes/boots to keep warm.

    Yea that's the way to tell her Bang.[:D]

    Sounds like a great plan Bang. You might want to send the wife&kids over to dad's as soon as you get home......just as a precaution.[:D]
    Then call your friends up and cook some venison.[:p]

    The latest forecast for here is 5-8" tonight and 4-6" tomorrow morning. It's 29*F now after 60*F yesterday.[:0]It's a good thing I start my week off today at 6pm. That way I can wakeup hung over tomorrow and look out the window then call my brother and ask him when he's bringing over his snow blower to do my walk and driveway.[^]

    10 acres. Its longer than it is wide. Maybe it was 300'...I'm not real sure now. I'm thinkin the power company said they would go 600' from the road but I may be wrong. either way I ain't shovelin' it.
    I mention the power company cause My drive runs along the power poles.

    I think either way we're both screwed with this storm. As well as the other Illinois folk here. Let's just hope it's not like a few years ago when we got 4 storms in december a week a part with like 30" total.[xx(]

    I'll probably be goose hunting this week. It's much warmer under ground no wind either.
