Waiting for the Snow ...

Once again.It should start all over tonight after 8 or 9. Several inches up to a foot.

The second day now with temps in the 50's. The front yard is in the house shadow so it is still covered with ice and what used to be deep snow. It is over 15 inches deep in places where the shovel piles were. The back yard has nearly melted away.

Across the street where the sun hits, the snow is gone and mud prevails.

The streets are in rotten condition. Potholes from the freeze and thaws (rare thaws) and the snowplows have destroyed many of them. That is the word our mayor used, "...destroyed," at a city council meeting yesterday.

I have the art guild meeting tonight. Had to move it from next Monday because that would infringe on old Saint Patrick and his frivolity. It is my second biggest annual holiday, of course, right after Cinco de Mayo.

The latter is my birthday and I usually get a free Mexican dinner.

Boy, was that storm was a doozy. Now, how can we motivate Spring to show up for good?

Those northern exposures take so long to melt. Hugs to all the cats.

Zero F tonight. We got hammered. I had a short breath and chest cramp trying to shovel out front. I quit. No more shovel work this winter. If the city tickets me for not doing it within 12 hours of the end of the snow, they are welcome. The ticket is cheaper than the cardiac surgeon.

It was in the eighties today...the fifties tomorrow. Your weather is
daunting to say the least.

No snow here -- weather agreeably mild -- that was a factor in our trading intellectual stimulation for climate although, at the time, we had no idea how large the gap would be. It's a crap shoot ain't it?

We are almost hitting 70 today, then dropping on Thursday... Bleh. Hang in there!
