In the last few weeks, we have had temperatures up into the sixties, down into the teens, and everywhere in between. But NO SNOW! Well, today that all changed and the big, fat, heavy, wet flakes are coming down fast and furious. A snowpocalypse is coming – well, not really. We are having snow, yes, but really, it isn’t much different than any other winter snow storm. We are expected to get maybe 8-12 inches although the NYC to Boston corridor may get up to 3 feet. We did get out and shovel the driveway so we could go to the store to get some milk that we were almost out of, but we’re from the Southern Tier where “this ain’t nuttin’, bub!” Hopefully, the snow will stick around a while since I am looking forward to getting out and doing a little skiing.
Some pictures from today – the first two are cell phone pics taken while coming back from the store, the next three taken during a break in the snow this afternoon, and the last one was taken at 7 PM using the night mode on my camera to show how far the birch tree was bent to the ground.
What are your guesses? How much snow will we get? Will my nephew Patrick be out plowing all night long?
