We have had less than 2" so far this month.

Agreed, seems to be applied where they mean a quick safe journey.

My parents officially got 27 inches of snow, but the pictures are showing that it chose to drift right on top of the driveway about 3.5 to 4 feet deep. Right up to the hand grip of a standing snow shovel. They have a snow blower though, so it's only taken all day to dig out.

Very little snow here it melts during the day, and freezes over the nite.

16F We are supposed to get about 1" of snow. We usually measure snow in feet. If this is all we are going to get then I'll take it.

PDX has had a full week of sunny weather. Cool, sometimes cold.
But this morning the sunlight is brilliant, almost sparkling.
A mild breeze blowing in from the Columbia gorge.
