Good morning from a very cold, currently 27 degrees (F) and snowy Rochester, NY.  Most of the snow clouds have moved off to our west, but we may still see another inch or two throughout the day.  Rochester is digging out this morning.  I'd say we had about a foot of snow in Greece, a suburb of Rochester.  Most of the main roads are plowed, but the side streets are still messy.  Be careful if you have to go out this morning!

 

So sad.  A similar thing happened in Burlington (Ontario, Canada) this year.   

Yay!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
