Just so you know that white stuff outside isn't anthrax and you can go out to play in it. Also it usually goes away in a couple months.
For Gospeed see St Louis isn't so bad there isn't even half as much snow there as in the carolinas:)
Up north, the white stuff goes away in a couple of months...down south, it goes away in a couple of hours.
Two inches on the ground when I left for work, not even a fleck of snow left now, and the parking lot is bone dry. Gotta love the south. I could be riding today if I could get outa work somehow. :)
