Here's an early-morning roads report after our first brush with Mother Nature this winter.
Yes, we got a dusting of snow yesterday afternoon.
Yes, TV types will immediately start hyperventilating over the idea of winter weather.
Yes, there are all kinds of warnings about possible icy conditions on the roads for the morning commute.
No, I did not really encounter any of them.
The biggest problem you'll have is scraping the icy coating off your car. The door also will be a bit creaky from the icy that coats it, but the roads were not in bad shape.
The bad news? It is very cold out there today, with winds howling. And it's apparently going to stay that way much of the day today.
Even me, a devout winter hater, have to admit yesterday was kind of pretty. It was the only kind of winter storm I can stomach. A light covering of snow dusted the landscape, covering the usual dank, colorless drab of winter with a light, white blanket. Best of all, the roads basically were just a little wet.
Now the bad news. The forecast calls for a possible real winter storm for the end of the week, maybe on Friday into Saturday.
Brace yourself, it's likely the only thing we'll hear about all this week.
Here's your complete forecast.
