Thank you all for your replies! I love snow art as well, though not really into snowball fights...

The snow last night/early this morning was brief....it promptly turned into sleet and freezing rain. We now have a sheet of ice that is an inch or two thick everywhere that I can see. I'm not sure about the roads as I haven't been outside other than to salt the stairs and porch. I do know that the yard and all sidewalks are suitable for skating. It's still pretty, but hazardous. I hope no one gets hurt.
