Snowpocalypse Now

In December there was a big storm and the Mid-Atlantic got a lot of snow. Fortunately, Billie and I left for Michigan the day before the snow arrived. By the time we got back a week later it had all melted. For the past several days the weather forecasters have been predicting another big snowfall. The snow was scheduled to start around 5 pm yesterday and continue through today. Schools and some businesses let people leave at 1. When I got home around 5 last night there were some snow flurries. Still, years of Chicken Little-esque weather forecasts in Indiana have prevented me from accepting forecasts of major snowfall. I thought that maybe we'd get six inches. It turns out that you shouldn't doubt the power of a Nor'easter. Here is what we woke up to this morning:

The view of the walkway that we take to get to the parking lot. We aren't going anywhere anytime soon!

Trees and some piles of snow where cars used to be.

So how much snow is there on the walkway? Only 18.5 inches!
