..::6inches - you can take it::..

St. Louis has finally seen a real winter. Somewhere over the last 10 years I think we've been spoiled since we have only seen 1-3 true snow days each season. It amazes me that people are acting so surprised about the 6 inches of snow we've received over night. It's January and Winter - that's what happens here, it snows. Take the snow like a champ and get your self a shovel, ice scraper and good pair of Timberlands and stop whining. MoDOT advised residents to stay inside if you didn't need to get out but don't let those officials over at the Missouri Department of Transportation cause you to lose your job cause you don't want to scrap your car off. You're going to need to come out tonight anyway because Power Stiletto is still having Power Networking Wednesdays and celebrating the launch of www.SUITESTL.com at the inSpot from 7-11pm. 

Here are some helpful tips to keep you safe during this (mini) winter storm

• Stay properly stocked at home - keep water, food and other needed items at home
• This isn't a NASCAR race -  Drive at a moderate pace and in most cases below the normal speed limit.
• Keep an Emergency kit in your car: Blanket, extra pair of warm clothes including socks, flares (in case you end up in a ditch), boots, water and some dry foods.
• Don't be caught on E - keep you gas tank over a half a tank during this weather.
