I am not seeing the drastic amount of snow that is supposed to be falling .... I think the media now days stretches the truth a bit about some of the weather... How bout you guys take some photo's and share some stories? I'll read about them while sitting here:

I was about 14, little sis was watching Lassie.
Lassie walks off screen. Sis walks to the side, tries to see where that dang dog went. I laughed.

Bot says
Pan left.

I just tried making the picture bigger.
I laughed.
Being stupid sux.

If I want a blizzard, I go to Dairy Queen.
I'm wearing my Blue Ring Octopus proof underwear and the shark proof T Shirt, and I stay out of the Dairy Queen.

All clothing items warranty for protection against the dangerous critters in the ocean are voided upon contact with any body of salt water .
I made a deal. They stay outta my front yard, I stay outta theirs.
I stay away from ski slopes and I EXPECT the snow to steer clear of me. But, occasionally, the fluffy stuff shows. The second year in East Texas about the late nineties, it set a record for ice, I think, and a few years ago we had some nice snow out here. The four wheeler and a little Boogie board from a time when some of my family voided the warranties on their undies and we had a Great time.

The local band was playing the theme song

Good thing i'm totally married! ( a point she brings out when making a point about all the "good ones are taken" statements)

Yep.....I made it through the "White Death" event. The Northern KY area was right on the north edge of the storm, and we got about an inch of very wispy snow. The wind blew it around a lot - but it was not a heavy wet snow and driving really wasn't very bad.

We went to the Cincinnati Travel Sports and Boat Show last night. We looked at some campers - I see a small one in our future, and hopefully it will be one that has a rear ramp and a place to haul a motorcycle!

WE've got a little over an inch of stuff on the ground. Unfortunately, it is mostly of the ice variety. It's mostly sleet with a little snow mixed in and on top. We had freezing rain off and on during most of the time yesterday then it changed to sleet and snow mix as it got colder yesterday.

Driving was do-able yesterday afternoon but wasn't much fun. Now that the ice slush has refrozen, and gotten more ice and snow on it overnight, I don't think there will be much moving until this afternoon when it gets above freezing for a while. The DOT around here won't do anything except to the interstates and a couple very major roads for a couple days yet if it needs it then.

Here's a pic from the security camera on the driveway.
