It's not 16 inches, but it's enough.  And still a few flurries.

Only about 4 or 5 inches here. 6 degrees and sunny. Driveway cleared and sun is taking care of what we missed. Fortunately the house faces south.

My buddy told me about his former neighbor who was telling him he had three reasons he would never have to shovel snow again - a 14 year old son, a 16 year old son and they moved to Florida.

Did not get the predicted snowfall amounts here either, mainly because it was sleet instead.  Maybe 6 inches total, with 3 of that being sleet.

           Those wind laden fine snow squalls mad it hard to measure. I did several places and it averaged 4.5 inches here.

                     I don't know why but this made me think of this song. Call me weird but I like folk music. 

This was written in 1947 by the Country & Western guitarist and songwriter Merle Travis. It is based on the experiences of his coal-mining family. His brother, John Travis, wrote him a letter about the death of Ernie Pyle, a war correspondent who had just been killed covering combat. John likened Pyle's job to that of a coal miner, writing: "It's like working in the coal mines. You load 16 tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt." Merle incorporated his brother's words into the chorus.

Merle also remembered something his father once said about the practice of paying miners in "scrip," credit vouchers that could only be used at the company-owned general store. He told a neighbor, "I can't afford to die. I owe my soul to the general store," inspiring the lyrics:

We got a solid 8-9 inches and drifts 2.5' deep in spots.....  Like my back patio.  It even piled up under my truck on the driveway.  That's low down LOL.  Hot water heater is leaking and we run out quickly.  SMH.

Well it is 2 degrees right now.  Cold for sure, but better than the -14 that was predicted a few days ago.
