February 18-19 winter storm February 21, 2021

After an unexpected quick inch of snow last Wednesday night into Thursday, we lucked out with the next few storms. They were either next to nothing or mild and rainy. Plenty of melting occurred with the mild rain this Monday night into Tuesday.

Our good fortune ended Thursday with a two-day winter storm, but snow accumulation was minimal: four inches on Thursday and two on Friday, along with a coating of sleet.

Here’s a photographic timeline, starting at 7:50 AM Thursday:

I didn’t bother shoveling the next morning. I just let the sun do its thing.

It doesn’t appear any measurable snow is coming anytime soon. If that changes, I’ll post about it.
