Brief but Heavy Snowstorm

We did end up getting a good 6" or so of snow yesterday, which then changed to sleet overnight, so this morning everything was coated with ice. Last night there were a few monstrous avalanches off the roof that scared the crap out of me, but we didn't lose our power (or WiFi signal, even more importantly). The only casualty seems to have been Barbara and Jerry's flight home from their ski trip in Switzerland. If you have to be stranded somewhere, Zurich isn't so bad, but I can understand that they're ready to come home. Still no word on when they can get on a flight.
