Before dark we knew we were in for a good storm even though there was a slight mix of rain. By Tuesday morning we had experienced a night with strong winds, gusts of 70 mph, blowing snow and colder temperatures.

I think even though we all watched the weather closely, there were those who still thought the storm might just pass around us.
