Scenes from a snow day

Observer reporters fanned out around the region to capture the winter landscape. Here's what they saw:

Snow follows this couple

The snow followed Mike Kutner and Andrea Platano here from Ohio. The couple recently moved to Fayetteville in hopes of escaping the white stuff.

"It's such a nuisance," Kutner said Wednesday while doing laundry at Koretizing Dry Cleaning and Laundry. "This is nothing. We're from the snow belt where it snows feet at a time.

"This ain't that bad for us, it's just another day."

Trudging through snow-covered streets, it took the couple more than 45 minutes Tuesday to drive a route that typically takes 15 minutes.

"The roads are awful," Kutner said.

Platano disagreed.

"It's the other drivers who are awful," she said. "Plus, these roads don't really get plowed."

Diana Cann, manager of the laundry facility, said growing up in New York has made her a pro at driving in icy conditions, so she's quick to dole out advice.
