Those were the words of a local meteorologist in describing this storm.  One to two inches overnight and into Monday morning was the prediction, but it strengthened through the day and we received just over five inches total.  Some areas received nine plus inches.  Along with it came some very cold temps which are expected to remain over the next week.   So I guess this snow will be around for a while.  Today is supposed to be mostly sunny but we haven’t seen much sun yet.
