We all have a snow day here. I was lucky that one of my co-workers switched me days so I didn't have to drive in today. The snow drift on my porch is up to my knees
.
Visibility last night coming home was horrid. Not only did we have snow squalls, we had wind gusts that blew snow in front of me. I could see perhaps three car lengths ahead of me. I have a rather medium incline hill that is long to get to my house and I almost didn't make it up it last night. There is ice under the snow and I could not get traction. To top it off, someone skidded off the road coming towards me into the berm and I had to stop mid-way up.
There has only been one other time that I was worried about driving and that was during an ice storm. Yesterday all the county offices closed and a level 2 snow emergency was declared but for some reason, the bank had to stay open. A level three means if you are on the roads you can be arrested or fined.
