Well, actually, those photos are from 2010. The last time we had real snow.
What we had overnight, was this. It would be best described as, "a smattering."
We rarely get snow, that's why I call where we live, "The Tropic of Trafford."
In other years, this much would normally clear by mid-afternoon. But with the such low temperatures we are presently experiencing, which are forecasted to last over a week, it won't and we might get some more snow yet.
"I don't mind if you don't like my manners, I don't like 'em myself. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings." (Philip Marlowe to Vivian Rutledge).
