The major impact will likely be upon the local school board for not closing schools sooner or even deciding to hold them Tuesday.
I can't take a 2 inch dusting with some ice seriously.
Two inches is a fair amount of snow in these parts, but it was the ice that was the main problem. People generally don't have snow tires in these parts, nor do we have the snow clearance equipment in place.
I got fortunate here. The precipitation started later than expected, so I was largely spared the freezing rain I had feared. My car had just a thin glaze of ice topped by 1½" of snow this morning. I didn't have anywhere I needed to go today, but I brushed it off today so that my car wouldn't be sealed in a thick layer of frozen slush tomorrow morning, but not everyone around here was that foresighted.
