Snowed In

Hey … we’re snowed in!

Lot’s of snow yesterday and overnight, and blowing winds have drifted.  The airport shut down yesterday.  Revisedsnowtruck
It’s 12 degrees this morning, with a sub zero windchill.  I found this on the web while trying to find out about traffic conditions, and thought you might find it interesting:
