Right on Schedule

Just as the forecasters promised, the heavier snow held off until late morning, starting in earnest here in Forest Hills around 11:30 am. It should be interesting to see if it hangs around for a few hours as they expected, or quickly goes on its merry way and leaves us with just an inch or so....

By the way, the sanitation department is noticeably out in force for this storm. Within 15 minutes of the heavy snow starting I had already heard two plows go by. And look how the streets are being kept clear in Forest Hills. This photo was taken just about 45 minutes after the one above. Given, this is a much weaker storm than the Blizzard. But they are taking the criticism very seriously.
