A Damn Blizzard

Over the last maybe 8-10 hours (I guess) Poughkeepsie has managed to accumulate roughly one quarter inch of snow. This sets a new high for the region this year, surpassing the previous mark of zero. And can I just say that my fifteen-inch, all-season tires handled it with no trouble at all. Seriously though, that's the one thing that isn't gonna be awesome about the Prius; it's small, reasonably light, and has front wheel drive. Compared to the Cherokee it's gonna be like taking a snow tube out in the winter. That said, I have rather short commutes to school and work, with roughly 97% of my driving being done on rather major roads, and I can work remotely for IBM if the weather is so bad that even Route 9 isn't safe. I'd like to see some real accumulation now.
