I'll have way too much candy again

Yup, Gas prices will jump up 30 cents in case  everyone will have to drive to the store to stock up on milk and bread....

Currently the hurricane tracking center is predicting Sandy will be in central PA mid afternoon on Halloween, with the outer bands extending into eastern OH.  The precipitation map looks like we could get lot of rain on Wednesday.

It all depends on when and where Sandy meets the jet stream.

By the time it gets here, most of the punch should be out of it, but be prepared for some nasty weather ... rain.

AccuWeather is calling for snow Tuesday night 1 to 3 inches.

TV news seems to indicate that Hurricane Sandy will turn inland and head toward Ohio.  Will the clash with the cold air mass from Canada cause problems for the Mahoning Valley?
