The Current Snowpocolypse

AHHHH!  It's here!  The snowpocolypse!

It started out so innocently, like fine flour sifting down.  From the second floor, I could barely see it.  But even that dry, dusty, tiny snow powder adds up if it falls long enough.  Now the wind is kicking up, and it will get much worse.

On the positive side, all that embarrassed, Styrofoam-wannabe-snow that's been hanging around since the last dusting is finally covered.  It's been too cold for it to melt, so it just sat there frosting the grass and piling up miserably in corners and cracks in the parking lots and blowing around sulkily.  Now it is the foundation for a fine, slick, freezing, miserable winter.  :)

I think I'm going to get up early tomorrow.  Traffic will be challenging, I suspect.  You'd think that since we all live in this state, people would know how to drive in snow, but you would be so, so wrong. 


How do you prepare for snow in your neck of the woods?
