The call was for up to a foot of snow. And as yet, no snow. Though much rain. I'm mixed about the outcome, of course, because I went and canceled my daughter's birthday party when we probably could have proceeded, because at the time the word on the street was "100% chance of snow". I should be pleased, I supposed, as this means the girls should return to school, on the 22nd, for the first time since January 12th!
Make no mistake, I am keenly aware how close we came, and I am thankful to have missed out. So how close was it? Check out this state-wide radar image. The snow and sleet barely missed to the North and West, and in this close-up we see that a patch of snow missed us to the South as well.
Hopefully I'm not speaking too soon, as they say the freezing line could drop below us any time, but 24-hours ago they called many inches of snow by this time, so either way this storm is largely, and thankfully, a bust for us. And it's a good thing, cause I never got my hands on an ice scraper.
Update: Okay, so I spoke A LITTLE too soon. We did get some snow, but clearly we missed the bulk of the mess.
Update: The news says, had the rain we got been snow, it would have been in excess of six inches. I definitely prefer the actual result.
Update: Well, at least they've let us know what happened. If you buy that sort of thing. I would have been fine with a graphic that read "we're sorry, really".
