My Blog! My Blog!

Wasn't it last weekend that I saw some reference on a blog to the fact that most of the last 15 big blizzards have been on weekends?

I should have said at the time--be careful what you wish for.... It's 5:00 P.M. here, and still snowing intensely. Because we haven't shoveled much today (my muscle pull is still recovering, and ESR is trying not to get one), and haven't been far from the front door, it's hard to judge--but we've gotten over a foot since last night, at least. It might be more. And it hasn't looked as though it might be stopping since around lunchtime when it slowed to a flurry. We thought that might be the end of it. Silly us.

If this goes on till midnight we will have two feet of new snow, and might be heading toward three.

At least we have food, warmth, and each other. And the cat.

It's about 11:30 P.M. here. I just looked out onto my door step, and saw this. Here's a view of a bit of our street, as seen from my front door; the hillock at the left front foreground is my car, believe it or not.

I can't show you much more than this, without either shoveling my walk (not bloody likely, with this much snow at this hour) or plunging into knee-deep snow (equally unlikely). However, this is a view of our immediate neighborhood from early this afternoon, and here is our longest icicle to date.
