IT'S THE WHITE DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(insert whooping noises, buzzing and beeping, and weatherpersons running around with their ties loose........)
They are calling for 2 - 4" of snow (or 3 - 6 or 4 - 8 depending on who you listen to). The Doppler radars are spinning. The stores are all being overtaken by people buying bread and milk. Schools are already calling off for tomorrow.
I have to drive 20 miles home from work.
If you never hear from me again, you'll at least know why.............
you can look here to see what's happening so far:

Everybody has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.

It is snowing like crazy here right now (Thursday, 3 pm). The kids are trying to get home from school. Yesterday was sunny, and I drove 250 miles. Today it's snowy, and I plan on driving zero miles. That is one of the good things about being retired. However, I do pray for the safety of others who have to be on the highways.

The first "no L" the angels did sayfearfaoin wrote: You don't appear to like the letter L, either...
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay.
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
No L, no L, no L, no L,
Born is the King of Israel.

made it home - only took twice as long as it should have.
Some observations:
The streets that have been "treated" are worse than those that haven't. The treated ones are now slick, slushy ruts. The untreated ones are just snow covered (there's already over an inch at our house).
There's this little switch somewhere on everybodies car. It has a picture of a light on it. When visibility is virtually nill because of blowing snow and salt thrown up by other cars, it MIGHT be a good time to tune this on.
4 X 4's don't stop any better then any other vehicle. Saw at least 3 of them sideways on my drive home.
FEMA hasn't responded yet. Don't know if that means we're ok or not!!

What ever happened to the days when the winter weather forecast was "it's going to snow." No screaming, no panic, no "WINTER STORM WARNING" - just a statement of fact. It's winter, it's going to snow.
And why do idiots insist on driving exactly the same on snow and ice as they do on dry pavement??
Just checked the temperature here, it's 20F at 2:15 pm, the sun is shining on 6 inches of snow and ice. Main streets are ok except in the shady spots but the side streets are an ice rink. And it's not even officially winter yet. Yuck.
