Snow

I awoke to the unique sound of the snow plow on the frontage road outside my window. As of last night, the forecasted precipitation was less than an inch today. While I'm so thankful for the trucks and salt, I can still see grass peeking out from the dusting of snow. They seem a little eager. Come March, they aren't as eager and one wonders how much snow has to fall to warrant a plow/salt truck. I do have to add, though, that this winter is getting an unusually slow start--for which I'm thankful. When will our first real, heavy snowfall (defined as 6" or more) be? Any "predictions"?
