Suprise, suprise!!

Woke up this morning, early, as we had places to go and things to do, Looked out of the window and saw the snow, about 8 inches of it, street blocked as was my garage drive. Radio on, it is not just local, but everywhere, so Change of Plan. Call Docs, Hospital etc and cancel and move Visits, the Forecasters never mentioned snow, just a possibility of rain showers. Why do we look at them at all? Just above Zero now, so it is beginning to drip! Could be nasty tonight as it will go below when dark...
