It's On It's Way

As the queues start gathering at every airport in the country on the eve of Thanksgiving, this email just arrived in my inbox at work:

Issued at: 3:01 PM CST 11/20/07, expires at: 11:15 PM CST 11/20/07

Snow advisory in effect from 3 pm Wednesday to 3 am cst thursday,
The NWS in milwaukee/sullivan has issued a snow advisory, which is in
effect from 3 pm Wednesday to 3 am cst Thursday.
Two to three inches of snow is expected across far south central and
southeast wisconsin by late Wednesday evening. Snow is expected to
spread into southern wisconsin later Wednesday afternoon and continue
until shortly after midnight Wednesday night, then taper off quickly
from west to east. Warmer air off of lake michigan will likely bring a
mix of rain and snow initially to the far southeast, but this will
transition over to all snow during the evening.
This is the first appreciable snow accumulation for southern wisconsin
and it comes during the busiest travel season around the thanksgiving
holiday. Accumulating snow is also expected to the south in illinois.
Those planning travel are urged to keep up with the forecast.
A snow advisory means that periods of snow will cause travel
difficulties. Be prepared for snow covered roads and limited
visibilities, and use caution while driving.
