    Meh...a couple of inches of snow at best. The good, sustained stuff will be here by daylight. There's a decent cluster of snow coming right down I-70 as I type.

    Tomorrow's weather is gonna be hell on earth. That is, if hell featured sideways snow, sustained winds of 25-35 MPH with gusts up to 50 MPH and wind chills that freeze the snot in your nose in five minutes.

    If you've got any vehicles parked under a tree with questionable branch stability, I'd get your fanny out there tonight and move it post haste. 50 MPH wind gusts are plenty strong enough to knock limbs down.

    Driving around town tomorrow afternoon and evening, you're going to see plenty of wind-related shenanigans like knocked-over curbside dumpsters and large branches laying out in the middle of the road.

    Then it gets down to 5 degrees by the time you wake up Monday morning.

    All in all, tomorrow is shaping up to be a great day to stay inside.
