I never understand why people freak out at the snow. It's snow. It's not toxic, nor is it particularly difficult.
The *freezing rain*? Different story altogether. Saturday was fun. Everything was completely coated with a sheet of ice, at about 30ish degrees, with some water over the top of it. Not easy to walk on let alone drive on. Fortunately, this year was limited to about 1/4 - 1/2" over about a 24 hour period. (And about a bazillion wrecks or ditched cars per square mile...) Last year it was several inches over several days. I stayed inside for days. :)
