Well I see this has made headlines for my other bloggy friends, it might as well make headline here too. I just wish I had my camera to post some pictures-- it certainly was beautiful!
Being come Cleveland it certainly was not the most snow I have ever seen, but in combination with the lack of street clearing vehicles it has caused quite a bit of chaos. It was the worst combination too; snow, then icing rain, then more snow..... and no roads cleared. If you live in Cleveland and you get 4 inches of snow it is just another Wednesday. If you live in Cincinnati, they put snow emergencies on the roads and you aren't allowed to go anywhere, plows are working overtime and inefficiently, accidents are clogging highways, businesses close, the city is in panic mode. It ordinarily would take an hour or a few to clean up Cleveland streets after a snow.... it takes 12-24 to clean up Cincinnati. In fact, it hasn't snowed since yesterday late-morning/afternoon and people still had trouble coming into work this morning because parts of INTERSTATE (yes, interstate) have not been cleaned-up.
The good news was i got to go home early both of the days the snow fell. We closed early Tuesday, and again after snow emergency was lifted yesterday, too. It;'s nice because it makes for a short week... and quite frankly... the snow is beautiful. It feels like January and it LOOKS like January for once. This is the winter I am used to. However it is mentionable to be thankful no one lost power due to all the ice. TONS of people lost power in the area, and Matt's house was on e of the lucky. Snow is beautiful,, no power in below freezing weather most certainly is not.
