Okay so maybe 8 inches of snow isn't so bad...

Lest it look like I was being overly complaining earlier when I stated we were expecting 8 inches of snow today and it's coming down at a rather nice pace, we here in the Toledo area could have it much, much worse:

REDFIELD, N.Y. (AP) - The snow just won't stop. Intense lake-effect snow squalls that buried communities along eastern Lake Ontario for nine straight days diminished Sunday - then started up again early Monday.

Unofficially, the squalls have dumped 12 feet, 2 inches of snow at Redfield. If accurate, that would break the state record of 10 feet, 7 inches of snow that fell in nearby Montague over seven days ending Jan. 1, 2002, said Steve McLaughlin, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Buffalo.

Let's see, 8 inches versus well over 8 feet...I think I'll just say..."Gee 8 inches really isn't that bad after all." Yes, it really made me put that issue in perspective...

Eight inches is plenty enough to befuddle the average Toledo driver.

Hell, most panic at the sight of a single snowflake, like they've never seen one before.

And those ninnies driving down the middle of two lanes at 22 miles an hour "white-knuckling" it all the way...

Maybe if we issued Winter driving licenses only for those who prove to be competent...

Nah, makes way too much sense. . .
