Serious 
going on.
The 3-5" of snow is now about 6-7" and it's still snowing with the winter storm warning for our area until 7:00 PM this evening.
Legal Bill and Jerry probably got the dusting, we got the rest.
There is hope that this will be winter's last blast. Temps towards 50 promised for next weekend. I will believe it when I see it.

The weather folks were interviewing a DPW chief a few weeks ago when one of the storms stayed off to the south, Arkansas if I remember correctly.
He made the statement they were treating the roads with 150 pounds of salt per mile.
The number stuck in my head.
in the last two days, I've dropped 150 lbs in my driveway trying to get the ice to melt.
and for the record, since I'm on a private well, I really hate to use salt.
