Well, for us it was. Actually it was a good snow for the south. We got enough to be pretty and fun, heavy wet snow perfect for building snow-men and sliding down hills on snow boards and garbage can lids...but the temps have been in the 40's and 50's so the roads never got more than a little slushy in some places.
Now, all that snow that melted when it hit the warm roads has now turned to sheets of solid ice due to the temps being in the 20' degree range. It's going to be bad in the morning for anyone who is even remotely stupid enough to think about trying to go out and drive on the roads.
Law enforcement has closed most of the interstates through the city and a lot of the surface roads. They're telling people to stay off the roads at all costs.
Already reading online reports of numerous crashes and accidents due to the ice.
Anyway, it was nice to see snow and be able to have a day off to play in it.
A picture from the crib and one I took in the afternoon just out doing a little sightseeing. It was really pretty out.
Had about 4 inches total when I measured off the patio table.
