[Rhodes22-list] Got Snow Anyone?

[Caesar Paul]

We got 4 inches of snow here in the inland northwest, then the temperature dropped to 8 degrees.  It fell to minus 1 last night and is presently at 11degrees and projected to fall again tonight to around zero.
 
More snow is in the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday, with below zero temperatures over the weekend.  The change was sudden and sharp.
 
I covered Gentle Breeze on Saturday, just a few hours before the snow began its descent. with two pieces of Tarp bought from Costco for $20.00.

No snow here but an ice storm last Friday.  Lost power at 2 AM and it was out 65
hours.  We were on the edge of the damage too, friends just over the town line
to the east lost power for 8 hours and had little tree damage.  To the west and
north, still about 200,000 people in the dark as of this morning anyway.
