Okay, maybe this doesn't follow the "word-of-the-day" protocol, but come on, people. There's a whole lot of snow on the ground and as much as we hate to have to leave the house, life sometimes requires it. It's a lot easier to get around if the sidewalk in front of your house is shoveled. Besides, it'll be a decent day to do it. Highs will be in the mid 20s and it'll be cloudy with a chance of afternoon flurries. Tonight will be the same - cloudy and a chance of flurries - with a low in the upper teens. And why do you need to stay shoveled up? Because the snow isn't going anywhere any time soon, especially once the arctic air moves in later this week.
