Rush Hour Spared Worst of Winter Storm

It's still pretty sunny outside which made us wonder about the alleged storm we're getting. Turns out it's still coming, it's just going to be fashionably late. The new start time of the winter storm waring is now 7 p.m., as opposed to its original start of 3 p.m. so it looks like we won't get a repeat of Tuesday's rush hour traffic snarl. It's still gonna pack a wallop, though. Anywhere from 5 to 12 inches is projected across the metro area with accumulations getting heavier the more north you go.

I see no activity on the radar. Where is this storm coming from?

Based on the Weather Channel, it looks like it's coming from the southwest (Missouri). Freakin' St. Louis, always crampin' our style...

I'm going to be plenty bummed out if this storm doesn't meet expectations. Is it so wrong to pray for a city crippling storm?

We had a snow day at work last year. It was awesome.
