A few snow flurries were seen this morning. Some places in the area received a dusting of snow overnight, but not us. Winter continues to evade us and it's beginning to become apparent that the second half of the winter of 2008/2009 is going to be the least snowiest winter period since I've lived here. We've had exactly six inches of snow (15 centimeters) in a time period in which we would normally have 40 inches (100 centimeters). It has been nuts. Since the eighth of February, the ground has been covered with snow a grand total of two days.
