Yeah, it looks pretty, but I still hate it. Snow belongs on Christmas cards and at ski resorts.I am a sole passenger on the bus so far. Looks like some of my fellow commuters either got an earlier start or just stayed home.
Most of the local school districts cancelled classes today. It’s not really that bad. We ended up getting about a half-inch of sleet followed by an inch or two of snow. Just enough to make the roads sloppy and slick and not enough to scare people into slowing down. Sounds like a fairly lethal combo to me as the temperature is in the teens and we aren't getting above 20 today.
What’s impressive is that my roadway, and so far, most of the ones through town, are quite clear. That's a view from my door. You can actually see the roadway.
I saw on the news earlier, many of the highways and thoroughfares both south of here and on the other side of the river remain snow-packed. Kudos to our street department guys, even though the snow plow kept me awake off and on through the night.
The snow isn’t done yet, though. They’re saying it’s going to start up again pretty soon and won’t taper off until this evening. Luckily, I made it from the office to the bus stop before the sleet kicked in last night. The roads were icing up along the way, but since I get let off out front, I only had to navigate from sidewalk to front door so it wasn’t too bad.
I don’t think I’ll be so lucky tonight. I think there will be plenty of snow to slog through by then. I just wish it was sand.

snow- much prettier when you're indoors with hot chocolate or outdoors on the slopes.
I hate snow too. I was always impressed with the road department in MO. Roads always cleared as soon as possible and road work done on time as promised.
mm -- Yep. Christmas cards and ski resorts, the only places for it!
V -- I haven't seen how they've done on the other side of the river yet except on TV. I'm nearly there now, so I guess I'll find out. :-)
