Snow emergency Level 3.
All roads are closed.
If you attempt to drive you could be subject to arrest unless it is an emergency.
I am 71.
Yesterday is the first time a county government called to give warnings.
They called 3 times yesterday and the fourth call was at 5:30 a.m. this morning.
Progress !!!

(5,233 posts)8 inches... but its hard to say because the wind blew so hard. At times I couldn't even see my neighbors house across the street. I figure we had a quarter to half inch of ice, freezing rain and sleep before the snow started. I got three alerts via my phone throughout the day.
One of the coolest things I just was at the right place at the right time was a joy to behold. Just after sunrise I had my face glued to the bedroom window. Watching the snow fall. I noticed movement and a bright splash of red hair. A FOX is literally prancing through my front yard! I watched him cross the street and play in the snow... kicking up his heels, rooting his nose in the snow and generally doing a happy dance. I was so entranced I did nt even think of trying to get a Pic. I'm hoping I see him again today.
