Spring Was Nice While It Lasted

The snow started around, oh, 3-ish yesterday afternoon. It stopped sometime during the night and this was my deck at 6am today:

The TV weather wizards said our accumulation was 8 inches and a bit, but there's gotta be at least a foot out there (the predictions yesterday morning were 2 - 4 inches).

It took me almost an hour to go 12 miles to work this morning, most of that spent stopped in traffic because both lanes of the parkway (which looked like it hadn't been touched by a salt truck) were closed due to disabled vehicles. I left early so was only 15 minutes late.

Things were improving by the time I got home this evening:

Sort of.

February in Pittsburgh. Gotta love it!

Oh my gosh - you got so much more snow than we did! It's true though -- it is melting very nicely. I can't wait for it all to disappear!

Wow, the photo looks great! But I can imagine that you weren't really happy about that much snow....

Hope the weather has improved somewhat!
