Oh the weather outside is frightful, but this press release from the City of Peoria is so delightful:

City crews are currently treating primary intersections, hills, and areas considered to be a hazard. Snow is expected to fall all of today and tonight with accumulations of up to 3 to 5 inches in some areas by Monday morning.

Motorists should expect snow pack on pavement and are urged to use caution and reduce speeds while traveling.

Drive carefully, folks. It’s usually during the first big snowfall of the season that the most accidents happen because everyone has forgotten how to drive on the stuff. If you don’t have to go out in it — that is, if you’ve no place to go — then stay home and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
