It is beautiful, though. All this was blanketed with snow until we took the Petester out this morning. He had a hard time...he knew there just had to be ground there somewhere as he had just seen it, and smelled it, yesterday. So he spent his time pawing through the snow, burying his head up to his eyes to smell and find somewhere that would be good to pee on...took some time, but he found a place up in the stand of trees...

Got 3 inches of really good "powder" snow...just the kind you'd love to ski! Roads are closed of course, but the Interstate is open and I've seen a car make it's way out of the neighborhood. Our driveway, though, is so steep that getting out will have to wait until the sun melts first the layer of snow then the ice underneath...supposed to get more on Sunday evening and I have a plane out Monday at 11AM...I'll park the truck at the bottom of the driveway later today or tomorrow when I can get down the slope.

Then it started to accumulate. This was around 2 pm. You could see the down the road, but beyond a couple blocks it was all white. The ridge lines behind us to the North and off to the West of us were obscured by the blowing snow

It started to snow around Noon or so...just a little at first, like a random wind-blown flake. Then it started to increase intensity...
