The street is abuzz with the sound of snow blowers.

I already posted a picture of the snow in the yard.  It was a view from my garage.  Today you're getting the exact same thing.  It's hard to tell by the pics that there is much a difference.  There is though!  It started snowing last night around midnight.  It just finally stopped.  We got like 5 inches or something like that.  It's kind of a big deal.  The world kind of shut down, a little.  Hey, most schools and a few businesses either didn't open at all or closed early.  5ish inches of snow usually isn't too big of a deal in Iowa, except that we really haven't had much this year.  So this is, so far, the snowstorm of the year.
