Perhaps we should have kept quiet when we happily remarked that the spring like weather last week melted almost all the snow & ice in the ville. We no sooner mentioned that when Mother Nature turned around early Monday afternoon and started pelting us with a wet, heavy snow that by mid-night dumped anywhere from 6 to 12” on us. The County EMA repeatedly sent updated text messages Monday afternoon and early evening increasing the amounts of snow to be expected from the snow storm.
The snow fall was heavier in the northern parts of the county. We had a good 6” in our back yard. There were reports of “thunder snow” down in Jefferson County. It fell so fast all over the region that road crews had trouble keeping up with it. Many motorist were caught unawares. There were lots of stories of stuck vehicles and folks in ditches. They started the day forecasting one or two inches of the white stuff. Schools were canceled Tuesday. If this keeps up those students and teachers will be lucky to end the school year by the Fourth of July!
Here are some scenes we recorded on Tuesday. Wellsville's Street crew was out by late afternoon Monday working on our streets and must have worked through the night. By the time we got out Tuesday most of the streets were clear and drying out. Thanks guys.
Bet Ed & Connie are sorry they missed all this...

You are right nib!

Were are not shoveling sunshine.

Ed - You dog! Know that comment had to be from you. Your lovely wife is too diplomatic to rub salt in these lingering winter wounds.
Thanks for your compliments otherwise... It's nice to know it's appreciated.
