Happy Winter!

We greeted yesterday's official onset of winter with another foot of white stuff...added to the 8 inches already on the ground from Friday's storm. And we expect another 3-6 Wednesday!

When I arrived at work this morning, the facility maintenance guy was toiling with a shovel to move the stuff. I asked him why he wasn't using the snow blower (like I intend to later) and he said the rip cord frayed and broke, and the electronic start wouldn't kick the machine over. Bummer.

Besides the snow blower, I get to trudge through the drifts and try to remove some of the snow buildup from the porch roof with a roof rake (interesting name: 'cuz you literally pull snow off the roof with it).

And it's flurrying right now. Ah, North Country weather in winter! So much for global warming!

It'll definitely be a white Christmas this year.
