It started Thursday night as you can see from the park out back.
This made Friday morning's commute an annoyance. Fortunately, work allowed us to come in 2 hours later than usual. As usual, there were a whole lot of idiots who were driving as though the streets were dry and clear. Sigh. Not surprisingly, there were a whole lot of accidents. I was NOT one of them.
The middle of the day was snow-free. However, I noticed the weather radar showed another band of snow was forming up west of town so I took a couple of hours of vacation and headed home. I doubt I was missed since there were only about a dozen people in my whole office building.
It started snowing again about halfway home. Fortunately the streets were damp but clear which made the afternoon commute much easier than the morning's had been.
Overall, it wasn't a 'vicious' snow storm. It was more like a dripping faucet as opposed to a gushing one. However, even a drip over a long time adds up. Desultory snowing over 8-10 hours does add up.
From the snow on the wall, it looks like we got about 3 inches of snow.
And it looks like one of the local critters hopped around the front of the house.
I know they're hard to see, but the sun wasn't out and I couldn't get good shadows. The trail looked like it hopped across the driveway and hung out under one of my bushes for a while.
Not surprisingly, the neighborhood kids seem to be having fun in the park. Last time several built a snowman. I wonder if we'll have more being built this weekend.
Well, the street in front of the house looks to be mostly clear and it looks like things might be starting to melt a bit. I may be able to get out and run my errands.
