We had our biggest snowfall yet last week: perhaps 3-4 inches, although the actually accumulation was less due to melting. This was less than the 6-9 inches that we were warned of in endless weather alerts. The worst part was the mix of sleet and freezing rain, which made for pretty treacherous roads Friday morning, the first of February.

Although most of the snow melted yesterday when the temperature rose into the 40s or 50s, there’s still a little bit of snow on the ground, in the grass and in the shadows. Judging from the extended forecast I’m looking at now, it may be the last we will see this year.
