Much Less Than Expected

Well, the storm has finally passed and the sun is beginning to peek through the clouds. In the end, despite predictions at one point of 6 - 12, we only got about 3 inches of new snow in the last few days. A lot of the precipitation fell in the form of rain or melted quickly on the ground. But what really saved us is that the bulk of the storm slipped around us. The first part of it went to the north and the second to the south. We just sort of slid through the middle which was an excellent break for us.

The road seems well sanded and salted at this point. There were no power or phone outages to report.

Right now the temperatures are in the low 30s and climbing so I expect a lot of the snow will melt today. That is the upside to a spring storm, it doesn't stick around for long. So despite the white blanket over everything, as is well in the valley.
