Our Bit of Sandy Snow

We got our own little taste of the Superstorm Sandy today. They were predicting high winds overnight, so we waited till this morning to put out the garbage cans. It was quite a thrill to open that garage door at 6:08 this morning and see snow and rain blowing down at an angle because of the driving wind.  We  got the garbage out, though, and two cans and two bags full of leaves and debris didn't blow away before the garbage men got there about 7:00. That was good.
By the time I got to work the snow had picked up and was even showing up on rooftops, highway signs, and grass.
It drizzled all day, but the snow disappeared early, and we were left with just gray skies and raw air to drive home from work.
