Need to send it to Colorado, they're having record fires that show no signs of abatement.

My daughter linked this alert to me via Facebook. She moved here from Tokyo a couple of months ago and is freaking out. Not sure if the link will work if you don't have a Facebook account, so I'll copy and paste the text.

HIGH-IMPACT WINTER STORM LOOKING MORE LIKELY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY; FOLLOWED BY BITTERLY COLD TEMPS SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING AND SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING:
Several inches of heavy snow may accumulate across the southern Palouse which may result in not only hazardous travel, but the accumulations will be occurring on top of tree foliage, which may result in some collapsed tree branches and localized power outages. This will be a huge concern as at least 3" of snow is now expected in Pullman, points south. It is not out of the question, that some localized areas see in excess of 5" of snow by Saturday morning. We'll be in the deep freeze, so I expect the warm ground temps will fade away fast as the snow initially melts, then we quickly ice up and begin to accumulate snow on roads. Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibility and use caution while driving. Low temps will dip way down into the low and mid TEENS Saturday night and Sunday night with a few day period where highs will struggle to get above freezing. This is of concerns especially how cold it will become and possible heavy snow and power issues.
Here's a video she linked as well...
Because she moved from Arizona, to Seattle, then to Japan and hasn't driven in snow since she was a teen. And she's a millenial. And female. I thought it was fairly obvious...Why is your daughter freaking out? That "High-impact" storm warning is like, normal weather for that region. Seriously, like every year.
I used to deliver newspapers on my bike in -30F (a couple of times, -40F) weather as a kid in Wisconsin. Que up your "walked 10 miles in 2 feet of snow" stories here...
Have closer to 3 inches here, and its that nasty Seattle style wet slippery snow.Forecast was calling for around an inch by 5pm, then a couple of inches later tonight.
I just woke up (graveyard shift) and looked outside and there is already an inch and still coming down heavy. Will be a fun drive to work tonight.

Typically its much colder when it snows here. Easier driving than this wet nasty stuff. If we get too much and need to breakout the snow blowers the crap we're getting now will clog the blowers and leave a slick of ice. Working outside in this leaves you soggy wet. Usually in the winter it's cold enough that you can just shake the snow off your jacket not have to hang it to dry.As a former Colorado resident, I can't help but chuckle how a few inches of snow is news. Especially in areas that get it regularly.

Damp achy weather.

Just drove to the post office to get mail and test the new tires. Had to go down a very steep hill and found a new Chevy that slid backwards down the hill and took out a street sign.
When I was done, I was able to get up the hill in 2wd with the new tires. Extremely impressed with their performance thus far. Especially in this heavy, wet snow that that is like driving in snot.
