This weekend a winter storm — some called it a blizzard — hit our area delivering nearly 20 inches of snow, making it the fifth worst snowstorm in the city’s history. It didn’t seem that bad to some of us, but we had time to plow during the snowfall itself and before the big game — perhaps altering our perception.
