We have between 2 and 8 centimeters of snow covering the ground depending on where you step. The warm spell that was centered around Christmas day is long past, and temperatures since A.D. 2009 December 27 have declined daily. The high temperature on A.D. 2010 January 02 was approximately 9 degrees Fahrenheit, and the high temperature today (A.D. 2010 January 03) is approximately 12 degrees Fahrenheit through 13:25.

It has snowed off and on for a week, but it has been so light and the temperatures so cold that the totals have been low; and that which has accumulated has been blown around into drifts and, apparently, to far away locations. The grass is still visible in all parts of the yard, which means that we have no more than 2 inches on the ground in most locations. However, we've received at least that much in the past four-or-five days. However, like I said, most of that has been blown to places unknown.
