Last night and this morning, people in Eastern Washington State woke up to record-breaking snow. There are three to four inches. The last recorded snowfall in the region on Oct. 8th was in 1981, which received only a dusting. This snow is pretty but serious, with lots of trees and powerlines down, slippery roads, and power outages. Mrs. Dashwood has decided to purchase an electric snowblower, a few extra shovels, and sand for the sidewalks and driveway. She thought she had until November to get ready for snow, but with snow on Sept. 30th, and now winter snow, it looks like Fall 2019 and Winter 2020 will be especially snowy.
