11. Mainly snow is forecast

Looking at the gov't forecast it shows 4 to 10 inches of snow and 0 to 0.25 inches of ice. I don't recall seeing such a large range of precipitation on these forecasts before.

The storm is predicted pretty much statewide so I don't expect the state to get out in our area to plow and treat rural roads or the power company to fix problems quickly.

The internet goes through equipment a few miles away that is powered by a different source (a co-op) and it is literally the last thing on that line. There is never a short outage there, even when our house doesn't lose power. Cellular voice and data rarely works well here.
