"Get any snow?" "Not that I recall, offhand."

I woke up this morning knowing that yet another snowstorm is coming.  They are saying 4 to 8 inches of snow, with perhaps some rain mixed in for a while.  "This is getting tedious," I am thinking.  Then I looked out the bedroom window and saw the patio, and there was a record of the last couple of snowfalls, frozen in time.  Usually there is a warming period and the snow melts, but not this year.  Lets see how this looks in a day or so.
