Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It started snowing today. The weathermen making a big thing of this being the first big snowstorm of the winter season.

My office closed early due to weather, which is a good thing since before the snow started it was raining so there's a nice sheet of ice developing under all that snow. My office is in a hilly area and watching cars and trucks sliding down a hill with their wheels locked is a bit scary to watch, especially when you're at the bottom of the hill at a red light.

My ride home was slow but easy. I passed about 5 accidents, each of which included an SUV, i'm starting to notice a pattern.

The snowfall is expected to reach a foot or more. My sister-in-law cancelled her flight since it's scheduled to take off later tonight and we have not idea whether it will be delayed, rerouted or cancelled, we also don't have a way to get to her yet since I don't trust driving my car in heavy snow and local car service would not reserve a car for early Saturday morning because of the weather.
