I'm getting to the age where anything below 30 starts to suck. I hate it.
Stay Safe Friends!

Been there. Buffalo? Snows insane amounts there. Syracuse too. We have about 8 inches of snow now and it’s sleeting as I type this. NE Kentucky.
Louisville. I got out and shoveled my drive ways, steps and sidewalk earlier. There was about 8 inches. That was before the ice hit. I haven’t been back out to look since. Have looked out the windows a few times. Nothing standing out as far as the ice goes. No drooping tree limbs or anything. Looking at the radar…seems the worst of it is over.
Here in Cynthiana it's just beautiful powder, like eight inches I'd say. And I should know 
I tried to get out to go to treatment this morning and nope, got stuck at the bottom of my driveway. Nice cop helped me push it out of the road back up thankfully. I’m paying an Uber with a 4x4 to get where I need to go!
I shoveled half my driveway, it’s on a massive slope and is pretty long. Couldn’t do it all with the ice on top. It was a bitch.
Stay safe and warm everyone. Here in Oklahoma, we don't get much snow. We will get a light dusting and the occasional blanketing. We get more ice storms but so far this year nothing. 17° right now with 20-25mph winds does chill you out though. -10° wind chill factor.
Being retired is nice on days like this. Well...it's nice most days. Wife works though so; I get to hear the whining until she has gone to work.

This ice can kiss my arse. I can’t go anywhere. I told my wife I love 4x4’s and always want an SUV for this exact reason, but she never wants one. Until we can’t get out that is.
You have ice on top of your snow? That ice storm thy came thru Kentuckiana really screwed stuff up.
Good morning all
We ended up with about 9 inches of snow here then I’m thinking maybe just under a quarter inch of ice on top of that
Sitting here on my back porch watching a light snow fall. I think we’re supposed to get another 1-2 inches before all is said and done
But we still have power and we’re all cozy and snug
Gonna enjoy a day off work..put a chicken in the crockpot for chicken and noodles for dinner tonight, do few domestic things.

Same here. Cold never used to bother me. Preferred it over heat. Not anymore
Woke up this morning with the power still on, so that's the makings for a good day.
If you have power, that is a great thing.
As a UK transplant living in NW Ohio, we normally get much more snow than you, but we just got a dusting last night.
However, my trip to Dayton today will most likely have to wait until tomorrow, as they got around 15 inches.
All the best to all my colleagues/friends/fellow UK fans/graduates in the homeland.
P.S. I've been all around, Pacific NW, Southwest, East, Mid-Atlantic, but...the greatest place is still My Old Kentucky Home.

I’m right there with ya brother. I’m happy we have power still. I hope it gets fixed soon for you. Stay warm and safe as you can.
Georgetown got hit pretty hard too. We got about 8”, like Cynthiana obviously. The ice was around .5” this morning when I had to drive my wife to work. Not a pleasant drive but they got the roads fairly passable by the time I got back home from Lex. Pretty good snowfall coming down right now. Prolly pick up another inch or so. I’m ready for it to be done. Snow is great, but the ice is miserable.
Agreed so much, I can handle the snow fine, as long as the city gets out and makes an effort on the roads. The ice sucks, nothing you can really do about it.
We got a full inch of ice on top of 7" of snow here. I don't mind the snow, but the ice sucks balls
I still prefer cold, but just like the heat, when that cold has moist air on it? It's horrible. Dry heat and cold I can take. Cold, moist air that makes 24 feel like 8? Nah, screw that.
Yeah, even on 4 wheel drive, ice sucks. Anyone says they can "Master drive on ice!" stay FAR away from. No one can truly drive on it. You just go really slow until you are in a place you can stay the eff put. Ice sucks. I got stuck in an intersection with a a slight hill on it once due to a full on sheet of glazed ice. You ain't experienced fear until no matter what you do, brakes or no breaks, all you do is slide. Nope. Nope nope nope.
Slap a set of Haakapeliitta’s on a car in winter, and you’ll be fine going anywhere without needing AWD or 4WD.
Yep. Nonetheless, after basically sliding on a flat surface on ice with no action? I'm good. That stuff sucks!
