Title: Raffle Ticket Stuffing Party - RESCHEDULED for Jan 19 due to weather
Post by: doug mcpeek on December 16, 2018, 09:49:26 pm: It's not back yet. Due to concerns over the expected snowfall, Bill has rescheduled the event for the following Saturday.

The raffle tickets for STAR 2019 will be physical rather than virtual. They will be mailed to all members. Therefore we will once again have a raffle ticket stuffing party in Ohio. Raffle Guy Bill Rusk will host the morning's activities at his home @ 11 am Saturday January 19. Many hands make light work (and many hands lighten the donut boxes). Bring your favorite breakfast treat, beverage or snack.

Sorry I won't be there. But do have a suggestion on coffee. Most coffee places (Dunkin etc.) have to go in a large pourable container. Like a gallon or more - unsure of cost but someone could swing it I'm sure since you're donating the space. Have fun, looking forward to getting tickets in the mail.

Which means either 0-1 inch or closer to a foot. :)

Was not forecast for much here, then the lake effect kicked in (Superior and Michigan too, not just nearby Lake Erie) major white out few minutes from work on my commute and probably 4 inches total. Watch I'll get home (15 miles away) and have the same trace I had this morning.

Sorry I won't be there, just too far and early for me to be there enough to help.

This is going to be your call.

Of course the problem is that none of us trust the weather people. We’ve been forecasted for snow so many times in the past, that never reached us, that we’ve come to expect it to not be as bad as they say it will be. However, I really think they’ve got it right this time. There are just to many people from St. Louis eastward that are calling for 4-6 inches, that I don’t think they can all be wrong. Can they?

I know that IF we get the weather forecasted I probably won’t be driving up from NKY. It’s suppossed to start here by 2am tonight and snow continually until around noon on Sunday. This is the one time where it looks like the further SOUTH you are, the more snow you’re going to get. I blame Canada. ❄️☹️

Post by: DirtFlier on January 12, 2019, 03:06:24 pm: Rescheduling it a week later was a good choice. I just finished shoveling my driveway (I live around 2-miles from Bill) and I'd guesstimate it at 5+" and still coming down steadily. In all that time when I was shoveling, only one car went by so road conditions are dicey and since it's a weekend, the township snowplows aren't running. I'm not planning to go anywhere so it really doesn't matter!
