Did you drive in to work today? Are you going to? Are you driving right now? (Please don’t be driving right now.) Shit is straight-up cray out there!

I took the new-ish Cleveland State Line (formerly the 55) into downtown this morning and literally saw a man scaling a snowdrift on West 110th, pickaxe and all. Later, near the Shoreway, a group of frustrated drivers had exited their vehicles and begun setting up a new village, a new life, in the parking lot of Don’s Lighthouse.

What was the craziest thing you witnessed this morning??

Anyway, here’s the official Scene guide to coping with Clevelanders’ oddly routine and total FREAKOUT when snow strikes.
