Snow Much Fun! (But It's Slippery Out There Today, Be Careful Driving!)

In an era when even an innocent pastime like a snowball fight can get out of hand (can you say snowbrawl fight?), it was fun to see the kids in my neighborhood enjoying it with good manners, good humor, and lots of giggling.

What did the kids in your neighborhood do for fun on their snow day?

The snowfall Tuesday, combined with snowmelt, and then freezing temperatures overnight has contributed to slick conditions for the morning commute Wednesday, says the National Weather Service: 

"Residual moisture left on roads and walkways from yesterday's light snowfall event has frozen over with temperatures now below freezing across the area," the NWS said at 1 a.m. Wednesday. "A thin sheet of ice is likely on any untreated surfaces resulting in slick conditions. Be alert and use extra caution while driving."
