JUDI WESTFALL: It was a little bit of a shock. It was snowing when I got home last night, but I didn't expect it to be over a foot of snow today. So a little bit of a shocker for us.

MICHAEL KUTZ: Well, we've had a rather unusual snow event. And not necessarily out of season, because we do get some heavier snows during the month of March.
