skiff of snow

The last news report I heard before going to bed was: the storm is tapering off. You'll only see a skiff to an inch in the valleys, and the storm will be moving and out and gone by 8 am. I woke up this morning around 8:00 (no school today!), looked outside and saw this! That is soooo NOT a skiff...more like 8 inches. So, obviously, Spring still has a long way to go. Grrrrr. Guess I'd better go get the shovels out.
