Stay warm, Willie. We were supposed to get about a foot, but the storm tracked close to the shore and we got almost two inches of rain...along with a few inches of snow and a few inches of sleet. I was just out with Leo, the dog, and I didn't even sink into it. He did, but he had fun playing in it, chasing chunks.
Another thing that always makes me wonder. Why is it there's always a run on snow shovels before a snow storm? We've had the same two snow shovels for about fifteen years or more. Is there a place snow shovels go, like that missing sock? Or are snow shovel made so cheaply now that they break with one use?
