A Dump of Snow

Here's a shot I took at about 3am, the morning of Feb.13. I'd just come in from playing a gig at Backstreets. It started snowing around 1pm and I don't think it let up till about 12 hours later. It dumped anywhere from 1-4 inches I'm guessing. They forecast 1-2, but it looked more like 4 to me. People around here freak out when it snows—they buy up all the milk and bread and they have no clue how to drive in the stuff. The next day we saw two cars in ditches. I drove the truck in 4WD and had no problems. About the only issue I have with this kind of weather is with water pooling in the garage. Seems the builders graded the garage floor with a slant towards the house. When the snow melts off the vehicles the water flows towards the house wall. So at 3am I had to pull out the car and sweep out as much water as I could. Today, only 2 days later, most of the snow's gone already. It doesn't last long around here.
