the centre cannot hold;

The freezing rain and sleet will turn completely to snow by
Thursday morning... with total snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches
though locally higher amounts are expected northwest of Interstate
44. Strong northwest winds gusting to 35 mph will combine with the
freezing rain and snow to make driving hazardous.

Residents of extreme southeast Kansas and the Missouri
Ozarks... including the Springfield area... are urged to take this
weather situation seriously. Begin preparing for this winter storm
now. Again... beginning tonight... Road conditions will quickly
deteriorate and ice accumulations are likely by the morning commute.
Additionally... snow will accumulate on top of the ice through
tomorrow.

A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow...
sleet... and ice are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also
possible. This will make travel hazardous.

wooooo! may it snow its glittering frozen heart out. and may people be safe *nod* and close everything. i could use the break. really i could.
