Yeah, we had thundersnow this morning here in Madison WI too. And the wind is picking up. The snow isn't coming down all that hard, but it's steady, powdery and drifting. So I walked to the mall where I had a package to pick up -- wading through snow sometimes knee deep along the sidewalks -- and lo and behold, the mall is closed on account of snow! If this were California, I could believe it, but this is Wisconsin. It's supposed to snow here! And it's not really snowing all that bad. But apparently people don't know how to drive in it safely, so they have to close the schools and stores. Worst was that on my way, one other pedestrian had given up the sidewalk and was using the edge of a road -- not the main road, but a small side road. Along comes a driver in a monster SUV and bawls the guy out for walking in the road, calls him an idiot. Nasty and stupid. Prob'ly such a wimp inside his monster car that he can't handle the wheel, let alone wade through the drifts on the sidewalk like us pedestrians.
