Hey God: You Really, Really Like Me! (The Blizzard of '07 Edition)

This morning we awoke to something we haven't seen in years here in the Southern Part of Heaven: snow!!!

I know that we don't exactly live in the snow belt, but the absence of the white stuff for three to four years now just wasn't normal. And today we are redeemed. A pic (with more at Flickr):

I know, I know: not exactly a blizzard, actually. But still its something (and, as per usual, twice what WRAL predicted). Enough to force the usual 350 closings and 1800 fender benders that, on actuarial average, our area will experience with such an event.

That must have been when I was in Albany. No snow there either. That's the first time (in my lifetime) that there ever was a year where there was no snow by January. Usually the first snowfall comes in early November. Although I do distinctly remember two abnormal weather patterns from my childhood: a week when it was 90 degrees in January, and a day that it snowed - in July. Still no snow in DC.
