A snow storm is a brewing and though that means a snow day for some, others still have to fight the elements. Find out when a route was last salted, pretreated, or plowed using Louisville's interactive snow routes map.

During the grey winter months when the ground is frozen and the deciduous trees are bare, motionless, and dormant, I often find myself daydreaming of plush summers. Summers when the stench of the stockyards has crept its way abnormally further than usual, and peaked its putrid head far across the railroad track barriers of our Germantown neighborhood. Summers when the heat has reached ninety or above, and the humidity weighs on you like a soaking wet sweater worn in the sauna.  The same summers that blow the cap

Remember when we used to enjoy snow days? I sure do, especially as I stare at my computer screen. During snow days in Ohio, where I'm from, we'd race to the nearest sledding hill, trying to be the first to shred down it. As of my morning commute, nobody had deflowered Crescent Hill's best hill, which slopes from Barret Traditional Middle School down to Galt Avenue. Who's going to be first?

1. Red Ryder wooden sled

2. Inner tube

3. Plastic sled
