Yet another winter storm flop

The forecasters persisted throughout the night and into the morning (Feb 1) with >6" predictions; but finally threw in the towel at 1100 and cancelled the winter storm warning. By 0900, we had only 4½" of snow and nothing promising on the radar.

To make matters worse, while snowblowing this morning I twisted my knee falling on the ice … and laid sprawled on the street at the end of my driveway for a couple of minutes before I was able to get up. And then as I was finishing up the sidewalk area at the corner (where the snow trucks pile the snow), the auger on my snowblower broke with loud banging, leaving a divot in the sidewalk.

Not exactly a good way to start the month.
