Snow began late last night and continued all night.  It wasn’t heavy and only dropped 1.5 inches of snow.  It has continued all morning, and now we have about 2 inches on the ground.  I wish this would have waited until next Wednesday, but it is what it is.  Maybe Mother Nature will surprise us and the weather gurus will be wrong.  I want snow for Christmas.
