A little ground cover. We got two inches on Sunday. It's melting and it's supposed to be in the 50's on Saturday. On the news last night they said we've had about 9 inches of snow this winter, down from 14+ we had a year ago at this time. It's been a mild winter here as well.
Worst winter ever? Not sure about temps, but for snow, hands-down it was the winter of '78. That was the year of "the blizzard." Late January we had a storm come through that dumped two feet of snow on us. With drifitng there were 10 foot high walls on the side of the state route near my town. Most county roads were impassible for days. We missed close to a week of school. Today if we see three or four inches of snow it's a big deal.
