We just received around 14" of snow here in Cedar Rapids, IA. It's quite impressive. I'd take some pictures but it's dark out now. I didn't have to go to work or school today! I spent the day working on a web site I'm working on. My co-worker and I have been really hoping for an outlandish two feet of snow. Well, we came reasonably close.
I'm going to our local news station on Saturday for a tour with the chief meteorologist (who I know). He is quite pleased to be having a real winter since the last one was in 2000. Before this storm we were at ~38" total snowfall with 30" being a *normal* winter. So I guess we're up to 52" or so. And those ice storms! Just a wintry mixture with all the ice, sleet, hail, thunderstorms & lightning, snow, blizzards, and wind chills! We're getting a good round this year.
