Well down here in good 'ol Tidewater Virginia we got 0.0625 inches (one sixteenth of an inch) of snow woith two inch drifts!!! That was enogh to shut down all the schools for the day and to cause everyone to drive under thirty MPH. The amazing thing is that it actually snowed before christmas this year.

Well, anyone who lives in a snow area can appreciate this. Today I woke up and the city had got around to plowing our stree. DId a pretty good job of it actualy. I could see asphalt in spots. Of course that meant I got to dig out our driveway again. And it wasn't the nice soft snow from yesterday, it was hardpacked and full of ice chunks the size of my head.

Here it often comes down as just cold rain.

Nah, he ain't. In Norfolk/VA Beach they close everything at the slightest bit of snow/ice. Like, a few inches closes the base, etc...

Alarik - whose flight to Ohion got cancelled earlier today...

I remember going to school in six inches of snow. If it was eight inches, school might be canceled.

I remember going to school when the snow was over a meter deep and we couldn't open the back door because of it despite having a fairly tall back deck.
