Well, there is one good use for it. It gives me an excuse to work at home for the day and drink blue thingies while I work. 
It started snowing when I was on the way in today. We have a cold front coming in later in the morning. The driving conditions are expected to be hazardous and the weather really bad. Of course, really bad here is like springtime in Michigan.
We had light snow last night.
Saturday we're supposed to get slammed.
'morning. snow? yuck.
:-)
We don't get concerned unless they forecast a foot or more, then the media usually trumpets some fool idea of death and dismemberment to all. Heck, it's only snow, not hurricanes or earthquakes, or uPods.
And yes, your winter is our March. Which is why we invented basketball and hockey........
Heh heh heh......
