The Blizzard of 2012

Our first significant snow fall of the season. We got to have off work and everything because the forecast was for blizzard conditions.

From my house things weren't so bad. Can't say the same for the rest of the Fox Valley as I stayed off the roads until everything was cleared.

  

The roads were definitely slippery. All day I heard the telltale sound of spinning wheels while my neighbors tried to get out of the parking lot. Not because they had anywhere important to go, mind you, but because they'll be damned if they'll let a little thing like snow keep them home.
