What did you do today?

Basically the whole city is shut down. They closed school for the week.

This snows going to melt and then turn to ice at night. We also have a lot of bridges here living near the water. It’s easier to just stay home.

Gulf of America gets snow, Gulf of Mexico didn’t. See how things change ?

But I moved from Upstate NY, and when I was growing up, 8 inches was just another day, they wouldn't close school.. like ever. I lived on a hill, and the school bus had Chains, and ports by the wheels to drop sand if they needed.

Where in Upstate? I spent a number of years in Rome, NY, after getting out of the Navy. We had to climb 120-foot towers at the top of Star Hill, near Turin, N.Y., in the dead of winter. I can recall one winter when my at-the-time wife managed the local Sears store. During one particularly bitter week and a half when the temps were -30 without adding the "real feel" factor in and they sold $4,500 in battery sales alone!

(My wall map of the US has taped up changes detailing the name of that gulf and that mountain in Alaska.)
