Well, they just said on channel 15 that this snow storm is expected to be the biggest that Fort Wayne has seen in years.
I don't know which year they might be talking about but the blizzard of "78" is running through my mind. I sure hope it isn't a repeat of that one. I lived in town at that time, just 2 doors from a main through way but it took us a week to get out. Now I'm in an addition and away from any main roads so who knows how long we might be stuck in here.
One good thing, the school bus route is just 1/2 block away and I have a sil and grandson on the street dept. so maybe they would come to my rescue.

I stopped at Kroger and the bread store to stock up just in case. Now I'm really glad I did.
Boy, Kroger was a real zoo. I haven't seen checkout lines that long in quite awhile.

In view of all this and there is not one local district who has declared even a delay yet. But there are a number of Ohio schools who have already closed schoo; tomorrow and others are having a 2 hr. delay.

I'm listening to the scanner and the street and road crews are already hitting the streets and roads so they're ready when it hits.
This is my grandson's first winter on the street dept. and he's been begging for something like this. I autta wash his mouth out with soap. But it sounds like they're gonna run his butt off.
