We Have a Yellow Snow Condition!
I just got this email from the Alert System:
Advisory: SNOW CONDITION YELLOW: Drivers encouraged to stay off the road unless absolutely necessary.
Dear Nixle User,
The Emergency Operations Center has just released the following alert.
SNOW CONDITION YELLOW
WASHTENAW COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER
5:00 PM EST SUN FEB, 1 2015
…SNOW CONDITION YELLOW ISSUED FOR WASHTENAW COUNTY UNTIL NOON ON MONDAY…
A major winter storm continues to affect all of southern lower Michigan this evening. As of 5:00pm today, more than six inches of snow had fallen and blowing snow has been commonplace across the region. Numerous motor vehicle accidents and spinouts have been reported and road conditions continue to deteriorate.
The updated National Weather Service forecast calls for an additional six to eight inches of snow before ending around sunrise tomorrow…placing the total snowfall somewhere between one foot and fourteen inches. Gusty winds will continue through Monday morning and will combine with falling temperatures to bring dangerous wind chill readings throughout the day on Monday.
A snow condition yellow is issued when very hazardous driving conditions exist with heavy snow or ice, drifting, or limited visibility. Traffic is moving at reduced speeds with major highways being maintained in fair condition, but local roads may become impassable. If you must drive, use extreme care and allow for a significant drive time.

We're on our own!!!!!!!!!!! 
over here in the Rockies we always have white snow for at least until somebody let's the dogs out.
That's why we like when y'all emigrate here! Crazy story: During the Pipeline buildup, most of the work trucks on the Haul Road were - you've got it - yellow. "Don't eat yellow snow. It might be an Alyeska truck." - that was a standard!
We need a snow smilie!
