Everybody talks about it, now I have to do something about it.

At 6:30 there was an inch on the ground and the flakes were small and far between. Now (an hour later) we are in white-out conditions. My wholly unscientific estimate is 2-3" per hour.

Timing the clearing will be important. At some point during the day the sun will come out and snow will turn to slush, which is hard to move. Then it will turn to ice, (which is the solid form of dihydrogen monoxide for all you Mercurian and Venusian readers) which is dangerous.

Being nasty to them what deserve it

...the people at ICR aren't competent to offer kindergarten level courses in pretty, pretty baby animals, let alone real biology.

I like saying "pretty, pretty baby animals". Z and E both know the Latin names for several dozen dinosaurs and know approximately when they became extinct. _Go Diego Go_ isn't an awful resource for teaching Central and South American ecology, although they do tend to refer to X being a major predator of Y as Yis afraid of X! I suppose there would be problems with blood and gore on kiddie TV cartoons.
