we had a good 4-5 inches fall over the evening yesterday, looked lovely, until the city snowplow dude came and left us with about a foot and a half in front of the driveway at about ten minutes to 11 pm last night, just as I was ready to go to bed... Decided to start up the snowblower and clean it up then and was glad this morning that I did it last night. It was kind of wet last night, but temperature dropped greatly over night and I can tell you that that dang foot and a half would have been a major pain in the behind to showel once frozen thick...
Oh well, here we go for another 4 months of white crap... FM

OK, all I saw were snow flurries. stevew, I know you're somewhere near Pittsburgh, but I don't know how far away or in which direction you are. I was in Pittsburgh at work all day yesterday, and I only saw flurries. Then I drove to Greensburg and got a little snow there, but it wasn't sticking.
So where the hell are you?

Ah, gotcha. Quite a bit northwest of me, then. I gather that some of that snow will start settling near me in the foothills any day now. This Louisiana boy is going to freak out.

Yup, real snow here. It's tiny little flakes, but it's snow.
Of course I look out my window now and it's stopped. Hopefully there will be more to come this afternoon.

I think it would be better if snow just came down in one big clump and made a loud noise when it nailed the ground, instead of coming down in all of those sissy little flakes.

There is a chance we'll have some "winter precipitation" here tomorrow or Friday...although I am not excited at the prospect of a snow day to be made up later in the year, the thought of playing out in the snow with the kid and dog is kind of cool

KC and surrounding environs is getting quite a bit of snow. 4-8 inches expected. Better than the usual ice storm. But it's been really cold here for December. Usually we don't get the bitter cold until January but it's not going to get out of the 20s at all until maybe Friday. That's really rare here in December.

Yeah, this is a brutal winterstorm this early for Kansas City. They've upped to us to forecasts for 6-8 inches. That means my 35-minute drive home will take 2 1/2 hours this afternoon. Add the single-degrees temperatures and we're golden. We usually don't get this kind of weather until January.

It might snow here tonight. The critical thing is the tempature. It is only going to get as low as 35. However, I think it will get lower than that.

I got the windows on my car scraped and was sitting at the stoplight just outside my apartment complex when my manager called and said not to bother coming in tonight, that they were most likely closing early tonight and didn't need me to come in...
Down into the low twenties now and the roads are starting to glaze over. I'm glad that I'm not going to have to drive home at 10pm when it's even worse.

Dola-
Of course, it's now taken over an hour for my fiancee' to get home from work and it usually takes her around 20 minutes. I'm sure she's fine, but I'm starting to get worried. She's not the greatest of drivers even under ideal circumstances...

That's just now snow is, I've come to learn. Take it slow and you'll usually be ok. Ice is another matter altogether.

Jeebs, I can understand how you can get worried. I live in the land of snow and we have snow tires, real good ic & snow tires and I always get worried when my wife is out there in a snowstorm. Yeah, for us we need a snowstorm to get worried, not some silly snowfall  but I can still sympathiseSeriously, we're not getting any snow at the moment but it is unseasonably cold, about 10F right now, -8F with the wind. These are more like January temparatures, even for us... FM

I would actually rather drive in the snow than in the rain. At least in the snow, the other cars behave as though conditions have changed.

not to make you worried even more for next time but snow or ice if my wife were driving a car with summer tires (or even all seasons), I'd be worried sick with her out there... We got caught by surprise in early November and she went to work (a 50 miles commute through rural routes) with only all season tires and she stopped midway after giving herself a few good scares. No need to tell you that the winter tires were put on the car the very next day... FM
