| Apparently the snow storm that passed through New England this past weekend got a bit of national media coverage. It definitely had this area all in a panic. Personally, I was amazed by how quickly and how completely the entire town shut down because of the incoming storm. I have seen Flagstaff shut down because of being inundated by snow, but always *after* the snow has fallen, not *before*. Perhaps the locals just had a better idea of what could be coming, but I found it bizarre that businesses were closing early and the city was a graveyard just after sundown. I was driving around (mostly on main roads), and I've definitely seen worse in Flagstaff without causing such a panic. The roads were icy, but really the worst part of the storm was the bad wind. The snow was extremely powdery and didn't stick to itself very well, so it drifted with the wind very easily. In flat areas exposed directly to the wind, blades of grass were showing through the shallow snow. In wind shadows, however, the snow built up to 2 or more feet. I didn't have to unbury my car (it was very exposed to the wind), but there was a foot and a half of snow trying to get out of the door. Of course, since I'm writing this, I'm still okay (otherwise the heading would've been considerably less optimistic about the snow). I did have some issues with CompUSA, but that's an issue for another entry. |
