jbh, I especially enjoyed the pic of the stream: which one is that?

And just in case you get complacent, a repost of somethign I put in my blog this morning:
From the National Weather Service:
Statement as of 6:58 AM EST on February 11, 2010
... Winds will continue blowing and drifting of snow today...

The snow storm is well away from the mid Atlantic coast... but
gusty winds continue across the region this morning. Exposed areas
will continue to experience blowing and drifting of snow
today from surface winds of 20 to 30 mph... causing difficult and
at times... treacherous travel.

Motorists should be alert to rapidly changing Road conditions due
to snow drifting on roads. Motorists should also be prepared to
encounter brief localized white-out conditions.
***********************************************
Don't think that your fancy 4WD SUV will save you from all an sundry: if you can't see, you can't see, and a 4WD vehicle isn't going to let you see. And if you are driving, make sure you clean off the roofs of your vehicles, as well. Blowing snow & ice chunks are a serious hazard to other drivers on the road.
