15 cm of snow last night - tied for our largest snowfall of the winter! It's beautiful out this morning and great to see snow covering the ground again!

The snow turned to freezing rain before I left for work this morning - 11 times we've had freezing rain this year (7 times it resulted in significant icings).

The snow brings us to within 4 centimeters of last year's total - it is amazing how close the tallies are! Ironically, we've had almost an identical amount of snow and a lot more days with partial snow cover. Even more ironcially, we've had fewer days with complete snow cover.
