(No) Snow

The weather forecast said we could expect 2 to 4 inches of snow Monday night and again Tuesday night. The ground was bare Tuesday morning and again this (Wednesday) morning, which is a normal amount of snow (none) around here.

I had engineers from the Boston area working with me Monday and Tuesday. They had to rebook their return flight on Tuesday due to snow in Boston. We made them laugh with our stories of how unprepared for snow we are! When one asked why, I pointed out that most of times we get snow, it melts within a day. So why not stay home and play with the snow for the short while that you can? The surprised comeback was, So you don't own a snowblower? No, no we don't; no snowblowers around here.

So when I woke up to no snow this morning, I checked the weather report on my iPod touch before getting out of bed. The report was that the bands of snow did dump 2 to 4 inches, but to the south and east of here. Here on the East Coast in the Northern Hemisphere, it generally gets warmer when you go south and east. If those guys from Boston thought we were unprepared for snow, the folks south and east of here who did get snow are even less prepared! Y'all stay warm and safe.
