That sucks. The good news from the North Country is that it was 14 degrees when I woke up this morning in the MRV. Perfect temps for blowing mounds of snow. We have a brief and slight warmup forecast, but the weather for the next two weeks looks fantastic for this time of the year.

I almost cried when I saw the sun shining this morning and not a snowflake to be found.

Better late than never....

It's not much, but I'll take it!

Still falling, too. Mixed in with sleet, but hey, it's still snow!

The meterologist on Channel 3 was saying there's some old wives' tale that the day of the month on which the first accumulation of more than 1" falls is the # of storms there will be that winter. So in this case, 20. Interesting....

It's snowing heavily here in Coventry, and we have close to 1" on the ground with the temp at 31F.
