Got lucky with this storm. Everyone around us has 10 inches of snow and we have about 3/4 of an inch. Just called home and don't have to blow or shovel since the kids did everything this morning.
I would call that unlucky. I love it when we get a few inches of snow and the ratsrace comes to screeching halt for a day or two. Despite all the fretting and pissing and moaning (oh, I can't get to work; what am I gonna do?), it will still be there when the snow melts. Here, we don't get enough snow to make it worthwhile for the county to invest in a lot of snow removal equipment, so it only takes 3-4 inches to shut everything down, comparable to a major declared "snow emergency" in Boston.
I remember seeing snow accumulation right up to the eaves of houses in Quebec city during January.
The way it has been going the past few weeks, I am wondering, with the advent of global warming, if we won't be seeing a lot less snow and hearing a whole lot more QRN in winters to come.
