Just shoveled again. My 12.5 inch ruler disappeared on the railing. I clear a section of the railing after every “storm”. And the snow is still falling...the flakes are getting bigger. The deck is already white again.

And I am off to bed. Rest well when you get there.

We’re glad too! It would have been nice to have had it the last two days when it was chilly and we had cold nights. LOL

But we’re ready for the cold when it comes back next week. That’s the important thing.

The snow up there is weird. It isn’t from a system moving through. It’s just there. The blue blob on the radar doesn’t move other than to shrink and expand. Looks like you’ll be shoveling again in the morning. :-(

Dang, it’s really been coming down at your house, hasn’t it? I hope it stays the light, fluffy snow so it won’t be so hard to deal with.

Sleep well and be careful when you go out for your appointments tomorrow.

Dang, it’s warmer here than there ..... by a whole 3 degrees. LOL But we aren’t going to heat up during the day like you will, thank goodness. No desire for 80s. We’ll keep our 70, happily. LOL
