And even more snow

It snowed again last night. I (A.) got up at 5:15am and saw it snowing. I figured there were at least 3 inches of new snow . And it was still snowing. I was watching the news to see if they said anything useful, and got the call that the office was closed today. So instead of shoveling, I went back to bed.

I woke later and K & neighbors had snowblowered/shoveled our driveway, plus the neighbor's driveway and sidewalk. Another neighbor drove his truck w/ snowplow attachment up and down the street, making it pretty flat. Neighbor said he'd measured 7 inches new snow.

We continued to shovel out our sidewalk. We realized road wasn't too bad and we had a few things we needed to work on at the office, so headed off there for a few hours. By 11:30am when we left home, it was 35 degrees and snow was getting slushy. Roads had lots of water on them, and some large puddles. Once we got so much water on the windshield we totally couldn't see out. Other than that, roads were great.

(the branches had a lot of snow on them. I wanted to knock it off. So far we've lost one branch on a tree due to snow being too heavy.)


(You could lose a child, or in our case, a cat, in this!)
