I have no words

Well, I do, but it's Sunday and I will keep them to myself.

When I went to bed around 1230am, it was sleeting. Snow was scant upon the ground, and I thought we had dodged a bullet.

Awoke around 7ish to find King curled up in the doggy bed next to my bed. One of my slipper clogs was missing, which meant that he had tried to wake me up at some point. Before I could stop him, he grabbed my other slipper and headed out to the kitchen. Gaby was waiting by the backdoor.

And on the other side of the door...









Last weekend, when I planted the seeds, the view through the backdoor was much different.



The snow is tapering, but it will be falling for the next few hours. We're going to wind up with over 6 inches. At some point, the power must have flickered--some of the clocks are now unsynced. The beeping office UPS would have driven King into my room.

Suffice it to say that plans for today did not include 2-3 hours of shoveling.

@#%$ing snow... :-(

We also had a flicker in the middle of the night. I'm just glad that we still have power.

I'm hoping that the shoveling pixies will take care of our driveway.

I have to finish pulling the tax stuff together. Then I have an article to polish for the Ninc blog. Then there's a really nice dinner I want to make. Shoveling is last on the list. Given how temps are supposed to rise over the course of the week, I'm not going to stress over it too much.

We're still painting our living room, so shoveling is also pretty low on our list.

It's also supposed to rain at least 4 times in the next 10 days. We're going to have a very wet April. :(

I keep telling myself that it's good for the shrubs.

They updated the Trib weather page, and cut back on the number of rain days. I hope that holds true.

Thank you for reminding me why I got a job in northern Virginia when I got out of the Navy, instead of returning to northern Illinois. Thank you.

You'rewelcomeIthink.

The ground was just starting to dry out. Next weekend, I was going to start setting up the garden area.

OTOH, Gaby loves it.

Commiserations on the snow--not a fun way to spend a Sunday.

It's currently slushing in vast quantities here also. I feel your pain.
