Mini "White Out" in Great Bridge

3/4" @ 8:30 P.M. (Snow has stopped by 9:00 P.M.)

Earlier this evening, My wife and I saw some slight flurries.

We decided to go "out" for a bit and found ourselves in a "Big Box" store.

After about 30 minutes, we were surprised to see large flakes snowing "sideways" and the cars were covered. It was amazing!

On the way home, the 168 By-Pass had not only the shoulders covered, but the whole road was completely white from Hillcrest exit to Hanbury Exit (2 miles). Thank goodness for the rumble strips on the shoulders!

The fun part was driving north on 168. It was like a blizzard blowing right in your face.

My daughter has already started working on her first snowman.
