Our situation turned to nasty. It is not as bad as it was just 50 miles north of us, but it has been slushy snow/freezing rain/sleet since Saturday evening, and it is still going. As far as shoveling, it is “heart attack snow” — heavy and wet.
I am grateful, in a way, that it had never really gotten warm here. The only activity among the flora was some crocuses. In particular, the trees did not bud, so we won't have lost the cherry crop (yet).
