Central Ohio Weather - Snow, Wind

I am a weather junkie. Most of the time when I have the TV on it is tuned in to The Weather Channel. I happened to catch a weather alert banner scrolling across the bottom of the screen leading in to a high wind watch for Wednesday. The winds are forecast to reach 30-40mph with gusts up to 55. What is a bit odd is the banner showed up two days before. Usually they will send out those watches the day or night before and mention the possibility of whatever inclimate weather is approaching a few days in advance as they do the weekly forecasts, the official weather watch is not typically issued until closer to the event. Maybe there is something weird with this one? I will be watching.

As part of the same system it looks like we are finally going to get some snow. I snowboard and welcome the snow. Plus, it will add a unique twist to backpacking. I am building a folding wood stove for my cabin tent and we have been looking forward to getting some snow so we can test this out! As to how much snow we'll get... something tells me we aren't going to get a whole lot, but I hope I am very wrong!
