Major midweek winter storm

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and brought down my business.

I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well.

MODEL GRAPHIC: GFS forecast snow totals through Thursday

My personal forecast for the upcoming week looks sleep-deprived with a heavy use of hand and foot warmers.

Hi Dan, so it looks like your in for 6 - 8 inches. One question, have the snow levels decreased in your life time where you live. I can remember 35 years ago here in the UK we would get falls of 10 - 12 inches on a regular basis, now we get virtually nothing.

I don't think it's decreased much. I'm a little biased, because I moved from Pittsburgh, PA to Charleston, WV 16 years ago. PA was much colder and snowier than WV is, but that's mainly because I'm 200 miles farther south. In constantly watching the weather, it looks like the big snows still happen regularly, but just not in the same places.
