[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 570761, member: 84"] We've been getting fairly heavy snow since 4pm. (I told you the weather guys don't know what they're doing lol ) in my opinion much better than the freezing rain this morning. I don't mind snow. Travis and I made a run to the store. I learned to drive in heavy snow during the winter (a rather snowy winter at that). Snow doesn't bother me much. And well, the snow didn't bother me. However the patches of black ice on the side streets were a surprise. Good thing I know how to drive on this stuff or it could've gotten interesting fast. I dunno if it was a mix of snow/freezing rain at some point or not but it was freezing on my windshield faster than the wipers could clear it all but wiping out my visibility in the dark. Otherwise, it would've been fun. Instead, I was glad the store is only several blocks away. Nichole got an estimated 8 inches, sort of hard to tell because she got some freezing rain mixed with it. But she had no real issues. sister in law who works in airline hangers had a hairy day with power outages and surges. He told me that when the power goes out in a hanger you can't see your hand in front of your face. He said it was unsettling for it to be that dark. easy child is waiting to see if enough of the night shift nurses make it in so she can come home and go to bed. She has to be up again at 4am to drive back to work. I don't know how she does it. [/QUOTE]
