Snowing here MD Millersville. I hope it won't be hell driving down I95 when I leave work.

Here's my song for the day.

The accident outside is so frightful.
My dear, I'm so delightful.
For lunch I don't have to go. (work is ordering lunch)
So let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

And when I say goodnight,
I have to drive in the snow.
And when I see back red light,
O no there the insurance go (up) (j/k, I'm not that bad)

snowing like crazy here in buffalo. about 4"-5" on the road. I just drive slower than I normally do. instead of doing 40+mph, I am down to 30-40mph.

I was doing a U-turn and I skidded and I expected. not a big deal, I just gave it more gas Wooooz. I think driving in snow is not hard at all.

The ground is covered here in Durham

Ok..I just didn't want to sound like a child or a southerner who has never seen snow before. It is coming down quite well in Raleigh..the ground is most definitely well covered.

It's even supposed to snow down here in HR area. The only good winter drivers here are those from the northern states who've been transplanted by the military. :p

Correction: It is currently snowing here in Newport News, VA. Flurries at home in Va Beach according to my wife.

My tires suck in the snow, so I'll probably be one of those a-holes who is going too slow. Anyone know what the roads are like out there now? I'm pretty much sequestered on base.

I hate every single driver in Durham right now.....an inch of snow != .5 miles per hour

Took an hour to get home for lunch, usually takes 10 minutes

Stopped snowing at Ft. Belvoir. I love snow, but I don't want it to mess up my ski trip tomorrow! Isn't that kinda ironic?
