I don't get worried about the weather unless it's obvious there will likely be a tornado outbreak or widespread severe weather.
Then again....The following hit the wire about 30 minutes ago...boring and normal until you hit the last sentence.

woo hoo send some here :)
we're suppose to get some this weekend, I think, I hope :)
Yeah but if your job demands traveling through the $#!^ between Midnight and 6AM then you're screwed blued and Tatooed.. and wioth out the courtesy of dinner first...
ACK
hmm, there was a time when a few inches wasn't a big deal
it depends on a few inches of what.
The problem with the snow today/tonight is more that we're supposed to get 5-8" of snow in a rather short period time between 8p-3a along with sustained winds of 15-25mph... it'll be low visibility and drifting too.
I feel yer pain. I used to walk a paper route with 115 houses. It was always a treat hiking through 8" of snow at 4am...
Actually I rather miss it...it was quiet and serene.
