Yeah, its these little storms that a lot of people like to dismiss because, oh, coating to two inches, but the problem is weve had such frigid ground temperatures, weve had this arctic outbreak and now with everything falling at one time it accumulated instantaneously and caused a real mess on the roadways. If you can, stay home. Even in the camera shot here the main roads in the city are still covered right now. So, again, not good conditions out there. And thats exactly why we issued the first alert yesterday to kind of warn you of this messy scenario. Because just a coating to two inches of snow, when ca
