toast21602 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Why do I not believe that? You heard it here first...we'll get a dusting. unlikely. we will get snow. it may not accumulate as much because of the ground temps. but i think the estimate of 6-10 inches of "potential" accumulation is accurate.
