It started snowing at about 11 a.m. and of course it started lightly but has definitely picked up and is now sticking. The National Weather Service has described this storm as pretty major for our area and may place in the top 10 in terms of historic snowfalls. Lots of references being made to the storm of 1996, which I remember well being that I was in grad school, single, and stuck in my apartment for almost a week.
Fast forward 14 years and I am now married with kids and they are very excited about the prospect of upwards of 20″ of snow. I am praying that the power doesn’t go out and that lives aren’t lost.
Be safe!!!
It’s fun to reference past storms and think about the big changes in our lives since then. I well remember the storm of 1996. Our water heater died and we couldn’t get it replaced for a week because of road conditions, shipping backlogs, etc. No shower, but at least we were able to heat water on the stove for washing/cooking. I remember that as the smelliest week of my life – good thing we were mostly housebound!
What a beautiful shot! Your forecast sounds much like ours. We just transitioned from heavy snow to sleet..that’s when we have the power outage issue. I am with you, I really hope everyone will fair this storm safely. – MaLinda
