Well we only had a dusting of snow last night, but now... about 4-5" out here in Holland (west of Toledo) and the snow's still falling. They're saying we could get another 2 inches... The only really bad thing is the winds making it blowing and drifting and wind chills dipping down around 0-10 degrees.

Tires make a world of difference. I have a civic and last winter w/ almost new tires I got everywhere fine - even in several inches of snow. This year the tires have 36k miles on them and the tread is looking very meager. I have a hard time getting rolling after a stop - and if its uphill I have to say a prayer to get started.

Yup... There's a couple places (outlying areas) that have level 3s and just about everybody is at a Snow Emergency, which basically means... If you can get your car parked off the road... Do it!
I myself went out and shoveled a little this morning (although you can't tell much now) and called my plow guy and asked him to come later on today after the snow has settled a little so it's now blowing back into the driveway :)

I did go out this morning to get a newspaper and boy am I glad I've got new tires on the Monte... and even with them I didn't get any faster that 30mph as the snow has a layer of solid ice under it... makes for very rough driving conditions... I saw a 4x4 truck behind me slide off the road, so you can't do much but be careful with that ice and the plows are just taking off the top layer of snow.

yeah seneca and I forget the other county are under Level 3(illegal to drive unless you are a emergency vehicle in OH). I live in Sandusky county (Clyde) but Senca county/Bellevue is across the street.
