I know you get the real stuff Mama but 5-6 inches with sleet is a big deal here. Everything grinds to a stop except those who have to be out. My old car slides all over the road in even a little snow. Electric is out in tons of places and so are phones.

Janie - you got what we call a "dusting" of snow. We are still driving on a foot of packed ice and icy ruts - it won't go away. We have snow predicted everyday for the next week. The lake is not frozen - so that means lake effect - and that means SNOW DUMPED ON YOU UNTIL YOU'RE TOTALLY BURIED AND THEN MORE IS DUMPED BECAUSE ALL TREES AND SKYSCRAPERS NEED TO BE BURIED TOO. And to think it's still fall - gosh I wish I had your snow! I do hope it improves for you.

It isnt bad for us. Electric has stayed on and I made sure we had everything we needed when they forcast this mess. Jon's Mom and stepdad and his Dad are all without phone and electric but one has generators and the other uses wood/coal heat so they are ok. I hear a little more traffic outside since the roads have been plowed. The inch of sleet that fell on the snow is what made the roads slick and it hasnt gotten above 22 all day with little sunshine.

just when we thought it was safe to drive on the roads - and things were improving a bit - here it is again - and it is really coming down - lake effect - grrrrr
it started to come down over an hour ago - and we've already got 3 to 4 inches
