Behold! The White Death Approaches!

The White Death. Snowmageddon. Snowpocalypse. Call it what you want. The snow is coming. Does that sound ominous? If you live in Cincinnati, that's how most people view the two inches of snow we are supposed to get today. People in northern climates scoff at 2 inches of snow. Cincinnatians go into panic mode. Two inches of snow is the lead news story in Cincinnati. In Cleveland it would get a cursory mention if anything at all. Two inches of snow in Cincinnati is enough to cause a rush at the grocery store and a blitz to buy snow shovels and salt at the hardware store. And don't even get me started on drivers... Two inches of snow is enough to cause Cincinnati drivers to lose their minds. You'd think they were driving through a mountain pass with a foot of snow. We're talking relatively flat roads that have been treated with salt. It's simple... slow down a little, leave some extra room between you and the car ahead of you, steer into a skid, drive defensively and smart. It's two inches of snow, not the end of the world.
