We have had less than 2" so far this month.

After a week of crying wolf snow, nobody will listen, so watch out for the next one. ;)

I can't think of an example but my gut is saying the focus seemed more on getting somewhere rapidly than having prosperity or success. I suppose though I could have been bringing my misunderstanding of the term to the table as someone getting somewhere fast in a drama could often have a prosperous end. [/shrug] I'd really need to remember a specific case and look at it. I always thought it was a reference to Mercury or Hermes.

Agreed, seems to be applied where they mean a quick safe journey.

My parents officially got 27 inches of snow, but the pictures are showing that it chose to drift right on top of the driveway about 3.5 to 4 feet deep. Right up to the hand grip of a standing snow shovel. They have a snow blower though, so it's only taken all day to dig out.

Huzzah!

16F We are supposed to get about 1" of snow. We usually measure snow in feet. If this is all we are going to get then I'll take it.

PDX has had a full week of sunny weather. Cool, sometimes cold.
But this morning the sunlight is brilliant, almost sparkling.
A mild breeze blowing in from the Columbia gorge.
