The snow started last nite (Friday 12-18) at about 5 or 530. This morning, it was up to 19 inches. We don't get much of this kind of weather, so nobody is very knowledgable about how to cope. Usually the first thing that happens is that everybody flocks to the grocery stores to lay in the emergency stocks. Then they either forget how to drive altogether, or they think there's nothing you need to do to compensate for the conditions. So today, on the main drag thru town (US29), there are hundreds of abandoned cars - to the point that the emergency responders are having a hard time getting thru the snarl.
Nick managed to get Haley (gf) back to her house in good shape; Sadie stayed home, and it took me a little more than 2 hours (to make a trip that should take 35 minutes) delivering Luke to his friend's house for a sleep-over.
It's still snowing now at noon on Saturday. It's getting lighter, but the newsies are telling us we can expect "another few inches".
