Ready to get buried

Yay! A snowstorm is coming our way. Not just an inch or two. We're talking 4-8 inches. I'm not sure if this snowstorm really qualifies as a typical March "lion" characteristic. You know - March comes "in like a lion and out like a lamb". It's still February. March can give us 31 days of possible "lion" weather patterns.
