Whee... snow!

We're about ten years out from the big 20 inch blizzard which is the biggest storm we've had since I've been living here. Last night and today's storm didn't come close but it came way closer than any other FWDFA(tm) event we've had in the last few years. I think we ended up with about 7 inches. Would have been more except it changed to sleet for most of today. Major bummer that it started early last night and we had to cancel our reservations at Panciuto. But we didn't have to go anywhere today so we could just stay in and make biscuits and watch old movies and burn up a bunch of wood in the fireplace.
It's been pretty quiet out on the road in front of the house. No one's done a 360 or sailed off into a ditch. But I did see plenty of cars driving down the road with their entire rear windows covered in 5+ inches of snow. And it's not like this is a southern thing. I used to see that all the time up in NYC. Perhaps the theory is that if some goes out of control and is about to ram into you from behind, you're better off if you don't see it coming.
