Update

Much to my dismay, I have found a small cache of regular sized mugs and plates, leading me to conclude that the huge dishes are nothing more than a ploy to confuse and entertain the renting public.

It's currently 32 degrees with freezing rain and 30 mph winds here. We've always said there's never bad weather here (even a blizzard is fun in the Adirondacks), but this is pretty unpleasant.
