Round One of Christmas Snowstorm

Merry Christmas to all my merry readers, and likewise to the glum ones. May your shoveling duties be light and also your spirits.



The Christmas Eve super snowstorm, round one, came through last night and unloaded about six inches of snow. The storm paused this morning allowing some shoveling and the last of the Christmas shopping to take place, but as I type the rate of snow has accelerated again and promises another six or more inches overnight. Since UK and PP are off celebrating elsewhere, I had the opportunity to get my full hour outside, and then some, in the pursuit of clear sidewalks and a clear path to the alley from the garage, in case I want to drive somewhere. So far, I'm content to stay off the roads. As you can see below, the snow is starting to pile up and soon there will be issues about where to put the new stuff.



Christmas celebrations will go on tomorrow, given that the snow is just an inconvenience and we'll just deal with it.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.... Christmas trees with energy-lite lights, and snow covered walkways.

It was fun to chat with you earlier. Have a very good Christmas. Don't overdo the shoveling. In Holland the mindset is that God put it there, God will take it away. (In MN it might be a while before that second part happens.)
