If there has been one mark of this winter, it has been snow. Not that its been constant, but it certainly has been frequent. Usually it has been only a few flurries or a dusting. But there was that 18.5 inches of snow which fell about the first of February. A week or so ago, a predicted dusting dropped eight inches of snow in the area. It was a heavy wet snow that stuck, it also resulted in many dropped tree limbs and branches.
