It started snowing just before sunrise this morning and overstayed its welcome by continuing until around 1 PM. Depending on where you lived, you either got 1-2" or 4-6", so I guess all the weather forecast services were right in a way.
We got 2-3" locally, but the roads stayed fairly clear. It got sunny, windy, and chillier after it finally stopped. So begins our descent back into colder weather.
And then ...
Ah, yes. Something we haven't seen in a while. The potential for a significant mid-March nor'easter this coming Tuesday. Once again, depending on the weather service, the forecasts run between 4-6" and 8-12" or more of snowfall. It all depends on how the storm develops and tracks, they say, and they'll know more once we get to Sunday and/or Monday. Like a free lunch, there's no such thing as a really accurate weather forecast more than 24 hours ahead.
Yesterday, I saw my first robin of the season. Happily bob-bob-bobbin' along in search of food, he had bare ground to work with yesterday. He's going to be hard-pressed to find any of that for a while.
Only 10 more days until Spring.
