Looks like we've gotten at least 2 inches in the 2 hours since. The flakes are falling at a 45 degree angle, so there's some wind (rom the south) out there, too. (No weather instruments here, I'm afraid.) I don't have a working thermometer, but the SchoolNet shows temps of 30-31F, and that sounds about right. Rain sounds like a fond dream, never to be realized. We'e in a top-floor apartment in a building with a flat roof. I'm beginning to wonder how much more the roof can take!
