This is simple, yet people continue to ignore such simple wisdom. It saves lives and property, and, to be frank, it only makes sense!
Nothing any of us has to do this weekend is more important than staying in one piece.

It says 90% chance of snow tonight, but does not go into accumulations. It has been snowing already in Clinton, and is laying. So who knows?
It makes sense to just stay in unless it's an emergency.
