Morning ALL - well, too much wet snow to leave in place, it’ll just sorta melt and become ice. Would be good for a Calvin and Hobbs snowman, though. Blue jays been by for the peanuts (in the shell) and Gypsy has made her snow angel.

Hope the sleet/freezing rain wasn’t too bad, G’nad.

Suziq - another 8 inches, sheez, you guys have been getting fonked on.

I think we got at most an inch of the stuff. Nevertheless I heard snowplows scraping last night.

Yeah, and we’re pretty sick of it! The temps are slowly rising each week, though, so I’m hoping we won’t have any really large snows later in the spring. One year, though, on the Monday after Easter, which was in April that year, we got 21” of snow over a 36 hour period. Thankfully, that’s when we had two middle school sons with strong backs to help dispense with it. Right now, we don’t even have the snow thrower, because we’d given it to our #1 son to us for his condo in Somerville. But since we really only use the mini-van, we only have to clear half the driveway, and the sidewalk at the front door, so SirKit and Joseph can handle that. The town doesn’t bother us about cleaning off the sidewalks next to the street because the kids can just walk on the street to get to the bus, and it’s safe, because we’re on a cul-de-sac.
