It snowed all day yesterday in Boise without sticking, but today's a different story, as the city awoke to a fluffy white blanket of snow a couple of inches thick. It's the first driveway-shoveling day of the season, and for schoolkids, it's time for snowman-building - Boise School District kids are out of school the whole week for Thanksgiving this year, thanks to budget cuts. Meanwhile, police have reported more than 100 traffic accidents across the state since Sunday due to winter driving conditions; be careful out there.
