Really don't see the big deal though.
Its winter.
It snowed.
My house has heat and power, along with the most of the Midwest.
I went into work today, along with a whole bunch of other Midwesterners.
I'll spend about an hour shoveling out my front/side walk and my driveway.
I'll dress appropriately.
Oh, and here's my own personal public service announcement:
People who don't know how to drive in snow, people who just HAVE to ride your a$$ and drive at or 5 over the speed limit when the snow inhibits your vision to 3 feet in front of you, people who don't brush the snow off there car and seem to always want to change lanes and cut someone off, and people with SUVs that seem to believe that they CAN drive 50mph safely on a arterial road with 3+ inches of unplowed snow...please...by all means...STAY HOME!
That is all. Have a great day! :)
Amen on all that.
