The storm arrived just as predicted: it began snowing right around 4 this morning and the roads were terrible all day. So confident was the forecast that our school district canceled classes at 5 last night, long before a flake had fallen. And when the skies cleared right around 3 this afternoon, there was more snow than we've had in at least 3 years.
The roads were still lousy, not a plow had passed our way, and school was canceled again for tomorrow. The snow itself was beautiful; heavy packed powder blanketed the ground and although trees bowed beneath its weighty robe, they did not shrug it off, and the sun set over a laden landscape.
There will be time enough tomorrow to dig out, but today we simply enjoyed the weather.
