It wasn't heavy snow. It was that light fluffy stuff that the skiers like and the drivers hate.  The snow plows have been out all night, but the roads are still extremely slick this morning.  I even did a 360 when I tried to stop at a red light on my drive into work. So how much more snow are we are going to get?
