Can say that I’ve just about *HAD IT* with Winter?

Or do I have to wait until Tuesday?

In case you didn’t know, it’s snow...

Yep, that’s 40% probability of 12 inches or more, right there east of Indianapolis.

Good Morning! Today’s Special: Snow

Two inches already on the ground at bedtime...

Yes, that’s a 10% chance of 12" or more by the time it’s over... right there in the center!

LATER:  Came the dawn: Not much additional accumulation here, but the forecasters warn of a possible 5" more this afternoon.

Yeah, it snowed...

...and we’re dealing with it. (Some better than others!)

Took me 15 minutes to get the car broomed off (Someday I’ve GOT to get the garage cleaned out!), and an additional half hour to clear the drive sufficiently to make it up the hill to the street. Streets, by the way, were amazingly clean, especially compared to the typical ‘‘snow removal^[1]’’ the city usually provides.

Tam and Roberta have pictures.


LATER:

Note that 15" blip over near Springfield!
