a nival nightmare

Thank you, A Word A Day, for teaching me the word nival (meaning "Of, growing in, or relating to, snow") just in time for the first heavy snowfall of the season.

In the words of my DH, it's "frickin' chaos" out there on the roads right now. We went 30 mph on the highway the whole way home from Casa du Bean, and we had to avoid all the stupid/wasted/crazy/all-of-the-above college kids (both pedestrians and drivers) in our neighborhood.

And here's what our forecast looks like for the next 5 days:

I love snow, but it's better when I don't have to try to get around in it.
