The weather guys/gals have been crowing about this major snow storm that was supposed to hit overnight and through today. As I wrote about earlier I was a little excited because for the first time in years I only had my driveway to worry about, no commute, or work related issues. Therefore, I was a little disappointed when I was heading upstairs to bed last night around midnight and we only had about an inch or so. I thought this was another case of the weather dudes overemphasizing. I awoke this morning to find that, if anything, they underestimated. There was well over a foot on the ground and looks like we’ll end up with over 18 inches by the time the snow winds down later today.
Thankfully it’s the light
powdery type which is easy to move but carries with it the same faculty for the
wind which we have a bunch of. I walked out to the street to retrieve the paper
and a half hour later the wind had filled everything in. There are already some
waist high snow drifts. I’ll send some before and after photos tomorrow. I think
this may be one of those storms where I end up clearing the driveway multiple
times as the drifts develop. It gives me something to do while in isolation. I think
a white Christmas is all but assured, barring some tropical front moving
through before the 25th. I
think we’ve seen the last of the lawn’s grass for a while. It also snowed down in
New Jersey which the FBR was extremely pleased about. Wingman recently acquired
a second-hand snow suit that has the FBR looking like she’s ready to go tactical.

Apparently, the world
keeps moving outside our quarantine bubble. One of the nicest people in the
world, the ABFA’s dad, had his birthday yesterday. He was able to travel to my
son’s home over the past weekend to celebrate with his granddaughters which is
really the best birthday present possible. The BRS looks to thrown herself into
the celebration of probably her favorite person outside of her mom and dad.
