We've had several heavy snow showers this morning but inbetween the sun is shining and what we've had is now quickly melting. They're predicting a lull tomorrow before more snow on Thursday.

We haven't seen anything like this in the 20 years we have lived here. Beautiful! But, of course, we are not equipped to deal with it so we will all be staying at home until it clears.
