Once again the NWS overestimates the power of a storm by an order of magnitude it seems. Their dire storm that was supposed to produce 8 - 12 inches of snow overnight barely made it to three. I could have used a snow day, too.
The light coating of snow was perhaps wetter and heavier than it looked, but doesn't explain why UPS also failed to deliver a shipment that was supposed to be here today by both their own and the shipper's estimate. They had it "out for delivery" this morning from Dekalb, which usually means delivery that day. This evening it is "in transit to final destination" and still hasn't reached us.
In order to make eggplant parmesan for dinner today as promised, I needed more mozzarella so I stopped at the grocery in Harvard right after work. This is a good sized independently owned supermarket that has been in town for decades. At 5:15 in the evening their store was nearly empty. No cashiers on duty and the only operating cash register was at the customer service counter. Judging by what I see repeatedly around here, the "recession" is far from over.
