Default Freezing Rain

Normally not a big fan of it, but if we get enough of it I'll have my entire Christmas break to study for my last few semester exams. I know - I'm pathetic for hoping for this ****, but what can you do?

Looks like it's a pretty decent sized storm - anyone else seeing any of this in their neck of the woods?

I suppose it could be. I wish I had my camera working so I could show you guys the ghetto setup I have in my garage. My car is parked next to my mom's DeVille (BOAT) and partly on top of a table / partly on my mom's wheelchair ramp.
