This was a good snow storm but not a record setter or nearly as bad as predicted. The final accumulation where we live was about 17 inches over a 24 hour period. Some areas around us reported 20 + inches. It appears the worst of the storm was slightly East of us. The high winds forecasted never happened. We’re thankful that it wasn’t worse, and especially thankful for our neighbor Bob, who worked through the storm to keep our driveway plowed, and then came back the next day to help with the clean up, as did my son, Mike. This will give us a white Christmas, which is a rare event in this region. Everything is beautiful as we offically start Winter today.
One last comment – I checked the Farmer’s Almanac for 2010 just to see what they predicted. Their forecast for the period of the storm was warm weather and heavy rain, so they got it half right.
