On Thursday, 12/7, the local forecasters had told us we would get a dusting of snow on Friday, maybe an inch, with of course, more at the higher elevations. Even in an area where a powdered donut dropped in the parking lot is enough to close school, this did not sound dire... just festively seasonal! There wasn't even a rush to get bread and milk on hand, though this time of year the ABC Stores are always busy.
Well, we woke up to the dusting.
And then it continued and continued all day.
Until we had close to a foot of snow!
The birds were happy that Russ had filled the bird feeder!
By dusk, things looked like this and the area was at a standstill!
Notice, we had lights... some in the area weren't so lucky.
The next morning, it was apparent that another inch or so had fallen overnight.
It was a pretty snowfall, with the snow clinging to branches and boughs.
By afternoon on Saturday, things were looking even prettier because the sun returned and the sky was a nice clear blue.
Typically morning snow is gone by around noon here, but this amount will stay for a while... well, at least for a few days.
The local paper, which hasn't been delivered in the last couple of days, said that this is the 15th biggest snow fall ever recorded for this area.
Imagine that!
