This is the “maybe an inch” of snow that was predicted. In the spring this will be good, because the area needs more water, but right now it’s a major pain.
When I was a lot younger, I had a do-or-die attitude about snow. One time, while on a business trip, that attitude nearly killed me when driving from Denver to Fort Collins, Colorado. In heavy snow, with very poor visibility, I almost drove off the edge of a cliff. Today I’m sitting this one out at home until the snow lets up… which… it seems… it has just done. One thing I won’t do is mistake this weather as proof that global warming doesn’t exist. Tell it to the polar ice that’s melting.
I recently read that red foxes are expanding their range due to the milder weather way up north. One guy documented on film a red fox attacking as prey an Arctic fox, his smaller, white cousin – killed him.
