The Perfect Storm ?

Here's what the weather service has to say about the next couple of days:

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE

A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS LATE TONIGHT AND THEN MOVE SLOWLY ONTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS THROUGH THURSDAY.THIS STORM WILL BRING HEAVY SNOW TO THE NORTHERN COLORADO MOUNTAINS TONIGHT AND SPREAD ONTO THE NORTHEAST PLAINS WEDNESDAY MORNING. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW...GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL DEVELOP PRODUCING AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.TRAVEL WILL BECOME DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.RESIDENTS SHOULD PREPARE FOR A LONG DURATION OF WINTER STORM CONDITIONS FROM WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.

Sweeeeeeeet. I'm hearing a total accumulation of at least 8 inches or so which will turn most of Saturdays course at Xylinx into a cold, frozen, quagmire of muck. Michelin Mud 2's are mounted and clean, all I need to do now is avoid my workplace which resembles an infirmary right now. There might be 3 of us that haven't yet caught the crud sweeping through our building.
