Well, this should be enough of the white stuff to assure us of a white Christmas, unless some unusual tropical breeze gets stuck in our direction for several days before then.
We got almost a foot of snow Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012. The snow started coming down very early in the morning and never stopped until well after night-fall.
When I drove our four-wheel-drive Mitsubishi up the hill in our front driveway, it got stuck, even though it was in four-wheel-drive. It took a second attempt and getting a run at it to make it up to the garage to deliver the full gas can for the snow blower..
After the previous winter when I never even put gas in the snow blower, I had it out twice today. Fortunately, the long dormancy did it no harm and it handled the heavy, wet snow just fine.
But it does cause one to pause and ponder, is this just a sample of what is to come? There is still a lot of winter ahead.
