I walked the dogs out around 9.30 exprecting to have to tunnel my way through the snowdrifts that had accumulated. See, they were warning us of SNOWSTORMS! ANARCHY! My boss even let us go home early to prepare (which I am glad for, as there were traffic jams everywhere in the city, and as I got closer to home there were heavy clumps of wet slush falling earthward that made visibility difficult). But when I get outside it's sunny and lovely, crisp cold, and alight dusting of snow on my deck. That's it. No ice, no real snow, just a little bit of crust on the deck.
