Otherwise known as #snOMG (its Twitter hashtag) or #snopocalypse. It's a given that we're weather wimps here, but when the forecasters predicted cold but dry, most snow to fall elsewhere, we believed it.
Today we got snow. And cold. And wind. And at 10 p.m., when it's supposed to ease off, and the storm warnings are scheduled to be lifted, it's STILL SNOWING.
People have spent hours traversing 20-minute commutes. Those who are lucky enough to live close to town (or at the bottom of long hills) are hosting slumber parties.
Daughter-in-law Zanne is spending the night, happy to walk here after seeing the chaos of chained-up buses blocked by stalled cars on a major arterial. I'm happy to be safe at home.
Earlier, I did take the bus to another neighborhood, mainly to go to the library to snag the last part of Your Face Tomorrow. If it's going to snow and be cold for the next few days, a good book is essential!
(This morning, the snow still looked relatively benign, especially when it was light enough to balance on the Japanese maple leaves.)
