I received this e-mail a few moments ago:

Some schools in the area have already canceled school for tomorrow. The forecast says that the storm should hit this afternoon and then again this evening. The temperature is continuously dropping as the day goes on. We have been advised to stay completely off the roads after 5 pm tonight. Oh yeah, and did you know that the air can swirl around in the valley because the mountains are pushing it back in and it can pick up moisture from the lake and dump even more snow? I didn't know that! This is said to be a historical storm, something that hasn't been seen in the last hundred years.
A friend on my team at the school thinks that it is being talked up too much, but I tried to reassure her that it is most likely going to be a bad storm after hearing how it has hit in Washington state.
So it sounds like I will be having a nice evening inside my apartment where I will pack for a flight that may be canceled and try to sleep through 40 mile an hour winds and cold air seeping through my windows.
Hot chocolate anyone? Redbox?
(This is what it looks like outside my school right now. It looks pretty harmless, right?)
I don't have internet at home, but I'll try to take pictures or video of the storm this evening to demonstrate what it looks like when I have internet access again.
My friend from school helped me get my car into the shop to get the snow tires on. I dropped it off at noon and will be heading back at 3:30. They estimated that will be around the same time they'll be finished.
I just want to be able to get to the air port. That's all I really care about. I want to be able to get there and not feel like my car will be buried...and have my flight not get canceled.
Wish me luck.
