We want you to take a look outside your windows before you turn off your computers and head back to bed. If you live on a side street like we do, this dusting of snow looks more dramatic than it actually is. It's also easily the coldest weather of the season, with a forecast high of 22, winds gusting up to 40 mph and lake effect snow if you live near the Indiana/Michigan border. Lucky most of you already have the day off since New Year's Day fell on a Sunday.
