Sunday we got a titanic amount of snow. Come this morning, it was still snowing, but not nearly as fast or at the same volume. It had basically stopped accumulating, although it got a little fluffier after 8PM.
Lots of shoveling going on. There were impacts on other things. All the banks were closed as far as I could tell. So were most eateries. Garbage day has been pushed back by a day...at least. Not many of the neighbors have their barrels out, so I don't know.
Groceries were still open. Buses still running, thank God. And I think I saw a mail truck driving along, so the creed appears to be in effect.

Yes, you certainly did get a lot of snow. Depending on where exactly the reports were coming from it looked to us that it may have been around 20 inches in Providence. I did check the Providence Journal history of the Blizzard of '78 where it reported 27 inches of snow fell that Feb. 6th. I'd always thought it was 3 feet or more. There were some great pictures if you don't remember - Hiwy 95 was inundated. Okay, maybe you'd prefer to wait until spring to look at pictures from the winter of '78.
The creed doesn't apply in this country. Every time the postal service goes on strike fewer people use it when the carriers return to work. Amazon no longer uses the Canadian post office to deliver packages. It's unfortunate.
Anyhow, I hope you've seen the last of the major snowfalls for this winter. I hope you're able to stay warm, well fed, and get to go where you need to be.
