Mid-morning I looked out the front door and called out excitedly to John, "The snow has begun!" He quickly took the wind out of my sails by telling me the "flakes" were actually chemical salts scattered by our maintenance man. The picture below shows that the chemical actually did its job and prevented the snow from sticking on the steps and sidewalk. Now if he would come back in the morning and scrape the snow from my car, I'll really be happy.
