The good news about the snow is that it is of the fine, fluffy variety and not sticking to trees and bringing down branches, the bad news is that the snow is sticking to roads.
Plows have been out Saturday morning, but local roads, including main ones, still have snow covering them making conditions slippery. Adding to the problem is the temperature, which is hovering around 20 degrees. As of 11 a.m., traffic in the area appears light.
