The Midwest will endure a real holiday hassle thanks to a major winter
storm. Travel will be very dangerous or impossible over portions of the
region.

Expect snow tonight from the western half of Kansas northward to the
Dakotas and eastward to Minnesota and northern Wisconsin.

A wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain will extend from central
portions of Kansas northeastward to southeast Nebraska, Iowa, southern
Minnesota, southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

Christmas Eve, snow will continue from northern Wisconsin and Minnesota
westward into the Plains from the Dakotas to Kansas. A wintry mix changing
to snow may also move into eastern Kansas, southeast Nebraska and far
western Missouri.

By Christmas Day, snow and wind will encompass most areas near and west of
the Mississippi River.

During the course of the event Thursday into Friday, strong winds will
make blizzard or near-blizzard conditions possible in the Plains and Upper
Midwest.

Storm total accumulations of up to a foot or more are expected in portions
of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest.

Highs on Christmas Eve will range from the 0s and 10s in the Northern
Plain



That's almost 1/3 of the country covered in snow...

record snowfall, we've about got bare ground and with any luck we'll be in
the 20's with sun today.

The Channel Tunnel gets CLOSED because trains are breaking down in it due
to unprecedented cold weather, Copenhagen, where it only snows moderately
sometimes gets socked by a blizzard, Washington gets shut down by an 18"
snowfall from a storm that stretched from the Rockies to Georgia to
Maine, with another one right behind it, and people are STILL saying
"It's Man Made Global Warming!!!"

The K00l-Aid must be strong...

the warming crowd has the same mentality as the health care bunch - disrupt
250- some million people's healthcare to cover the uninsured then announce
its budget neutral, then find the cost is twice what they figured and
they're only gonna cover about half the ones they tore the country up over.
Koolaid sniffers is right. (I guess I can breathe easy, both versions leave
my health insurance like it is as congress gets what I get - I pay 400 of
total 1215/month cost) and nobama has fully embraced both of these
harebrained schemes. I think 11-2010 gonna be fun, I sure wish they'd get
Pelosi and Reid too.
