I lived in Lawrence back in the early to mid 70s and know what you're dealing with this winter. One year, we got 10" of wet and heavy snow in early May! That was a shocker! It only stayed on the ground for 3-4 days, but still... Six to eight inches of snow here will paralyze the county. Where you are, that's considered snow flurries. Hang in there... Warmer weather is coming. Someday.
