Things about my life.
It snowed all day today, and it’s still going now. The temperature kept that much from sticking though. I’d say we have about 2″ sitting on the ground outside. We all had a wondeful time playing outside this afternoon. Xander did a great job helping us shovel. Mira enjoyed helping as well. Then all four [...]
We’re all home today. I’m working from home and Xander is home from school. We’re expecting at least 4″ of snow and as much as 8″. We’ll see how well they predicted it.
We headed out around 10:15 to get the driveway shoveled. We measured about 1″ of snow, and we guess 1/4″ to 1/2″ of ice under that. I didn’t mention it last weeked, but some kind soul with a snowblower on our end of the block, has been taking it up and down the sidewalk to [...]
Xander and I went out and cleared the driveway about 30 minutes ago. By the time we’d get to the bottom, you couldn’t tell we’d done the top. I measured about 3″ of snow at that point. It wouldn’t shock me if we’d gotten another inch since then. It’s really coming down out there. We [...]
We just had an experience that I’ve never had before. This snow storm apparently comes with lightning and thunder. There was a bright flash outside and Kate said, “Was that lightning?” Just then there was a deep roll of thunder. I’ve never been in a snow storm with thunder and lighting before. Now we can’t [...]
The snow is really starting to come down now. We can’t see much past the stop light right now. It’s also gone from the small flakes were were getting this morning to much larger ones.
The snow took a little break just as we were heading out to do some shoveling. I made the mistake two years ago of thinking it would be best to wait till eveything was done and then shoveling one time. That didn’t turn out to be the best idea. When we got 2 feet of [...]
We can’t see the lines on the tennis court any more. I’m not exactly sure how to describe how it’s snowing now. It’s coming down fairly hard, but you can barely see it, it’s such fine snow. Xander is very excited about the snow. We have most of the curtains in the house open so [...]
It’s lightly snowing outside now. It’s just getting light outside. The tennis court is just starting to show the signs of the snow. We are expected to get between 6″ and 10″ of snow today. It’s 16 °F outside with a wind chill of 5 °F
Just got back in from shoveling the driveway and sidewalk. 21°F is cold. Xander and Mira thought is was great fun. Kate and I thought it was not, but watching them enjoy it was at least.
The snow has pretty much stopped now. Looks like between 1/4″ and 1/2″ to me, but it’s hard to tell since it’s been blowing around so much. Roads aren’t too bad. I just got back from getting Xander from school, and I didn’t see any accidents. They are saying we might get some more later [...]
We’ve got some real snow falling now. It’s pretty dry stuff, since it’s so cold, so it’s blowing around a lot. Tennis court and driveway are pretty much all white now. Any ground without grass is getting pretty white as well. Grass still doesn’t show much.
Light snow has started falling. Current temp it 18°F, so it’s no shock that the snow is sticking pretty well.
