Here it is…5 to 6 inches of heavy, wet snow. Such a joy to break the back shoveling!!! So much for yesterday’s loverly weather! I took this about 9:30 this morning. I used the automatic setting for both today and yesterday’s pictures and did not photoshop them. This way you can see the full, ugly, icky contrast. Notice the lovely forecast of 4 to 6 inches expected by evening. Fabulous! And the 10-day forecast is [...] This was today: The only snow that’s left are the mountains on the parkway that have melted down to hills. 49 degrees! (That’s 9.44 in C.) Whew hoo!

I don’t have a copy of the cartoon, but it was from the Roaring Twenties and was a picture of a little girl kneeling next to her bed praying.

This was really not a record we wanted to set, but at least it was reasonably painless and rather pretty to boot. And poor western New [...] The forecasts were right. It snowed today. It wasn’t a lot of snow, but it was too much for October 12! The temperature is in the 30s–ick. Here’s another shot: Don’t laugh! This is what my uncle in Houston would call a blizzard! LOL.
