We know what you're thinking as you catch your breath from shoveling the snow from your walk. A lull? WTF? Well, not to be a Debbie Downer, but it looks like a system moving in late Thursday night into early Friday morning could be icier than this one. You know, this one that dumped upwards of five inches of snow across the area. We're still digging out this morning and already there's another one coming? We love snow but...blergh. For today, things are relatively calm with skies mostly cloudy and temps in the mid 20s. And as for the roads? Well, some of the major streets have been plowed, but just like the last few snowfalls, the side streets haven't been touched. And remember, kids: winter doesn't officially start for another few days. Cue the sad trombone.
