Snowmaggedon!
I moved south 7 1/2 years ago to get AWAY from the blizzard snows and the below 0 temperatures. This winter season, up north is getting clobbered! Snowstorms on top of snowstorms. We have been laughing at them. Payback is such a bitch! We are in blizzard conditions here today, expecting upwards of 10 inches of snow, and that's on top of about 1/2 inch of sleet/ice on the ground. I shoveled a path from the road up my driveway to the door. That's gone already, and it's only been an hour. You can see the indentation of where I shoveled, but it's not safe anymore. Schools are closed today. Hell, the TOWN I live in is closed today. There is a report of a truck jack-knifing up the road from me. Stupid driver. Can't take that road in these conditions. It's a winding road with hills and valleys, and not very wide. One slight spin of the tires and you're off the road. Hopefully the driver and the cargo is OK.
