OK, following the dire warnings and fears of school closings we braced for another big snowstorm yesterday. Yes it did snow all morning, but then the winds died down, snow tapered off to flurries, the Sun came out and the sky cleared to a lovely deep blue. By the time I left work and headed back to the apartment there were hints of stars and a sliver of moon. There was no sign that snow had fallen that day.
The evening weather report called for a 20% chance of snow overnight and a sunny, cold Thursday. They got it half right.
You can imagine my surprise when I greeted a dawn featuring 2 or 3 inches of beautiful fresh powder
covering everything and glistening in the morning sunrise. Fortunately, the temps were low enough that a broom did the job on porch and steps, walkway and car in minutes. No ice to scrape. BTW, They don’t make scrapers like they used to; I’ve broken 3 already and even the small ones without brushes crack or splinter without much effort.
Off today with no need to travel so I’ll take advantage of the free time to catch up on small projects that need to be done before spring. Maybe even do a bit of cooking while I’m at it.
More later.

Beautiful picture. Is it one of yours?
ReplyDeleteWe got a dusting (inch +) from the last storm, but my sister (who lives roughly half way between you and me) got about 7!
