It Has Started Snowing Here OnThe Fletcher Road

[Henry]

Well, it is 31 degrees here on the Fletcher Road.  It has been spitting off and on for the past hour, but looks like it is actually settling in to snow.  A number of places have shut down for the day in anticipation of a lot of heavy wet snow, but sounds like it should be over tonight with a nice day tomorrow.
