Stingy Snow

Someone at work told me recently that we would need some 10 feet of snow this winter to make up for last winter's lack of it and the summer's extreme drought.  To date, we've had perhaps 25 to 30 inches of snow, not nearly enough, if that statistical need is correct.  Basically, Mother Nature has been stingy with snow the past couple of winters.  Perhaps that was to make up for the two to three previous winters when we literally were buried under the white stuff.  I don't need to have blizzards, like the one we endured in December or yesterday's big storm, but a constant, light dusting of snow eventually melts into the grateful land, preparing it for the growing season to come in just a few months.  So, I think I'll sing "Let it Snow" and "Jingle Bells" a bit to see if it'll change Mother Nature's mind and help give us some moisture equilibrium - in a measured way.
