The National Weather Service revised its forecast and warning verbiage during the day yesterday. We'd been under a Winter Storm Warning for the day and they reduced it to an advisory. The night passed at our home with no more than about a half-inch of new snow falling. It got really cold –about 10 degrees– overnight and the wind switched. So now, in the absence of an official Storm, we are getting buried under gobs of lake effect snow courtesy of the cold winds blowing over the open waters of Lake Erie! I made it to work without incident but the drives, streets, and highways were very treacherous — much more hazardous than last night's drive during the Warning hours! I had to come to work for my night shift. [sigh]

Do you have special snow tires or chains? It sounds like you have to drive, no matter what the weather or the warning! How do you do it?
Nothing special on the car… just standard, presumably, all-weather tires that came on the Honda Insight. The car's stability control really helps, though, as does the automatic braking system; both were busy this afternoon! I worry more about other drivers losing control (and saw at least one today) than I worry about myself. You simply drive as best you can according to road conditions and try and be aware of those conditions at all times… they constantly change! If the weather was too terrible, I'd call in. — JG
