Well, it turned out to be a pretty heavy storm (18 inches of snow here), but it was dry fluffy snow, not the kind that brings down branches.
Not really a big deal for people who stayed home, as we were all begged to.

Originally posted by sh76How about we have war on weather? Homeland security and fema can get involved and take over local government until the crisis is abated. Martial law can come into effect and looters will be shot. Curfew will be enforced as well. The chem trail planes can also be used to seed the clouds to release the precipitation before clouds reach population centers. Boys war is hell !!!
